Luckily there was no clear "taking it easy" lineups, apart from maybe Shaxy's Priest which almost saved SamuelTsao. The issue with tiebreakers is that they'll never feel completely fair, yet having to play extra matches between people with the same amount of wins doesn't sound like a good plan either.
I still think the system would need some sort of intermediate esports level, so that the relegated players wouldn't just drop on nothing (so it would feel less awful to go out with such small margins), and the Masters Tour highrollers wouldn't go straight to the elite tier competition. Although with 3 relegations and promotions each Season, you don't even need to highroll: reaching top 8 once is likely going to be good enough in many regions, and Americas might even get one GM that never reached top 8 in this Season's Tours. I'll discuss more of that situation in a future esports post.
We seem to have most of the basic quests now, at least I'm just getting different variants of some that we already have. Arcane Apprentice also has other regions in store (as expected), I had Noxus & Demacia spells.
Pavel's tiebreaker situation was indeed brutal. He had an equal tiebreaker with Zhym before Rdu vs Kolento, but if Rdu won, it would bump Zhym's tiebreaker up and relegate Pavel, and if Kolento won, he would surpass both Pavel and Zhym and relegate them both. That's why he really needed Thijs to lose.
Another tight tiebreaker situation is still ongoing in APAC, as FroStee and DawN are tied at 5th and they have to play a separate match to determine who actually gets the 5th place, as it has a huge effect on the relegation bracket I talk about in the last spoiler.
Outside of rerolling all 50g quests (which I'd imagine you're already doing) I think there's nothing else to do than grind wins. Priest is quite powerful in the current Brawl so that's probably one of the easiest ways to get some extra gold.
Win a game with Lucian and Senna, Sentinel of Light in your deck
0/1
1000
Possibly the first time ever that I've seen this quest. These Champion-specific ones seem rather rare altogether (or maybe it's just my confirmation bias).
Today was a Deep day for me as I had both From the Depths (which is already listed in the table) and this one. If only Riot would let me own any copies of Nautilus...
I've been so close of forgetting to change the dates for the last two weeks so it was bound to happen at some point :D. I really should've gone with "Friday, Saturday, Sunday" instead of the dates.
Not a game-winning combo, but when I still played more of Ionia/Shadow Isles control, Darkwater Scourge + Death Mark was always a satisfying play. One guy straight up surrendered when their Braum became Ephemeral.
To Battle! has also a Noxus & Demacia version. My quest today was draw 25 cards for 1000 xp but did I remember to check the name for this thread? Of course not.
It's very true that Quinn doesn't trade well in most other 5 drops (or even 4 drops), but you do want a lot of scouts in the deck to trigger MF's levelup faster.
I was clearly asking for new quests :D

The names of the Champions may have bee the other way round, can't remember for certain.

Will be fixed shortly.
We have the middle one, but this is the English translation. I really expected it to be Non-combat but unless my eyes lied, it was written like that.

The last one is most likely the basic version of the quest which we have as I've got you! currently.

There's definitely one where you need to stun units (0/8 I believe).
Sure (even though I did already have the link hidden in my last post): https://outof.cards/hearthstone/735-say-goodbye-to-free-hearthstone-packs-via-twitch-drops-esports-moves-to-youtube
This deck was my first idea as well but then I realized that if my opponent bans Soulfire, I'm in trouble. Do people just ban something else then?
I believe you will be playing as Aranna.
Link is OP, please nerf. I have to agree with KANSAS, the card seemed like the winner right from the start.
