Blizzard is Set to Reimagine BlizzCon, BlizzConline 2021 in February is Cancelled

No, 2021 is correct. BlizzCon is traditionally held in November, but was postponed to February this year because of the pandemic. Same for "BlizzCon 2021" which was actually scheduled for February 2022.

Hearthstone Mercenaries Gets its First Round of Post-Launch Bundles and They Feature Legendaries - Are They Worth Buying?

Same here, with the added detail that the Legendary Coins bundle is only visible in the Mercenaries store (a.k.a. the merchant cart in your village) -- all I see in the regular Hearthstone store is the Mercenaries Launch Bundle and …

Mercenaries 21.4 Patch Known Issues Hotfixes Have Arrived - Battlegrounds Ratings, Bounty Fixes, and More

I got 2 packs this weekend for watching Grandmasters playoffs, and previously the 2 packs for watching the Mercenaries reveal stream, so it doesn't seem related to esports.

This is getting very strange...

It's the same character, just at different points in their life. [card]Archbishop Benedictus[/card] is the version before he was corrupted as described in the article, while [card]Darkbishop Benedictus[/card] is the version after.

Hearthstone Grandmasters 2021 Season 2 - Week 4 Results, Decklists, and More! (Spoiler Free)

I really enjoyed watching the players that "embraced the spirit of Last Hero Standing" (as Sottle put it during Hot Takes) and had a clear strategy in their lineup, such as Bankyugi anf Frenetic.

Interesting to see also how warlock …

Hearthstone's Newest Battlegrounds Hero, Master Nguyen, is a Tribute to the Late Dan Nguyen of the Hearthstone Team
