We had a chance to interview the newest Hearthstone World Champion, Glory, after his win against Jarla. As you may know, Blizzard creates tribute cards for previous Hearthstone World Champions as a way to cement their status into the game itself. Although the champions don't get to design their own cards or give any input on them, we thought it would be fun to hear what Glory thought about his card.
Glory has been playing a lot of Demon Hunter this year and because of that, he would be happy to see his tribute card come from Hearthstone's newest class. Regardless of class, the card has to be strong though, because glory would be "grinning ear to ear" if everyone gets to say "man, glory is a strong card, right?".
Blizzard, start taking notes so you can deliver a fitting card for the newest champion. It is possible we'll see Glory get to reveal his card much like how Liooon got to reveal her own card this year in Ashes of Outland.
What kind of Demon Hunter card would you design if you had to create one to celebrate Glory's victory?
Thank you to Rika Takahashi Chen for providing live translations!
Quote From Glory Although you don't get to choose your world championship card, have you considered which kind of card would you love to see as a tribute to your victory?
Everyone would be happy if the card that is in your name would be strong and powerful, right? I mean I would totally be like grinning ear to ear if like, even as a joke, if people were like saying "man, glory is a strong card, right?" so all in all, for the entire year I was making much use of Demon Hunters so I would be really happy if the card turned out to be a Demon Hunter class card.

With a name like Glory, i predict a Paladin spell
I was happy to see Jarla get that far, shame that last game :/ Congrats to the winner tho! :)
Question - I picked Jarla as my champion, how many packs will I get?
Blizzard's announcement blog is a bit weird ("one additional card pack each time your champion advances—to the quarterfinals, semifinals, or finals"; I don't think the system had clear quarterfinals, it probably means the winners' and decider matches then?) but you should get four packs regardless since Jarla was the other finalist.
Thanks
There was a Hearthstone's instagram post where they said you get 4 - glory, 3-Jarla, 2-SliverName and the other, 1 the rest.
how many wins he did?
Congrats to the World Champion! I like the other guy's glory hole idea. Blizzard, work on it!
Was busy this weekend and couldn't watch the world championship live (first time since firebat's). You always put spoiler sections for all esports stuff so I felt pretty safe to check out the news.
Thanks for the spoiler :(
Nowadays is harder to reach rank20 than being spoiled early at the morning with sports and esports winners on internet.
You'll for sure know about it before watching the stream, it doesn't matter too much from where you read it :(
Web algorithms suck. We've got extra viewership thanks to Google news because of this headline. I am 100% certain it would not be the case if we made it generic - trust me, I experiment with this stuff.
December is the best month for ad revenue and I'd like to keep the site alive as much as possible. I'm sorry that some people were spoiled.
Same here. I am currently watching the vod from a few hours ago (the broadcast was in the middle of the night for me), and thought it was safe to visit here (others news from recent memory are spoiler free), then surprised to see the winner top and center. I lost motivation to watch vod lol.
Maybe a header like:
Hearthstone's New World Champion Would Love a Demon Hunter Tribute Card
or
Hearthstone's New World Champion Would Love a Tribute Card from a Specific Class
and instead of the pic of the winner, maybe a pic of the trophy?
Ok, hear me out. 4 mana, destroy the center most creature opponent controls. If there is an even number we destroy 2 creatures. The spell effect is a hole opening up on the board and swallowing the creature. This lends itself to the demon hunter because it prioritizes the outlier cards, you know the outcast idea.
Anyway the card is called "Glory Hole", thank you very much and i'll let myself out.
I see what you did there. "Swallowing" O_o
Username checks out
Nice.
I don't know why I didn't see "Glory Hole" coming but wow.
Glorious.
I like how he was hoping for a powerful card and knowing it would be by default if it was in demon hunter lol
Could always take ownership of Power Word: Glory lol
