Who Won last time ?
Collins and Shady won last time I think
It would be very interesting to see what would happen if they didn't play random people in arena mode, only against each other. A lot of the drafting strategy is based on beating the below 5 win players with a generally solid deck. But if you'd want an edge against skilled opponents, maybe certain strategies would be better. Like face hunter or extremely greedy shaman.
It would be interesting, but since there is no mode where you can put more than the regular amount of cards in your deck, this cannot happen. Not to mention that after one person played the other, they would have information about their deck and if their teammate was matched with them again, they would have an advantage.
Go team Pathra. She's stellar, Apxvoid is a beast and Languagehacker is my fellow Canuck with some crazy good HS skills.
Also convenient that two streamers I don't like at all were packed with someone I'm indifferent to. Gives me a nice villain to cheer against..
Im for team redbeard!
and again tournaments and chalenges only for wel know player/streamer they realy dont care for the rest
we dont have competibe anymore but they have fucking everuthing blizzard do something for playerd that dont wanna stream or that kind of shit
no i preffer KITKAT
Can someone explain how Phase 2 works a little bit better? Are they still playing Arena? Are they drafting decks in Arena and then recreating them in the collection to play Conquest?
Love me some ShadyBunny + Collins
Was really great when Shady supported Collins to be able to carry on streaming when his family didn't understand. Big respect there.
can you tell more on this?
btw I also feel this team is not fair, wasn't fair the last time, and now with dreads...
Well from memory there was an issue where Collins' Dad would not permit him to continue streaming while under his roof. So Collins moved out and ShadyBunny streamed to help Collins afford a place to live and pursue his streaming dream.
Note this is just my understanding of the events, and may not be entirely accurate.
Dreads, shady and Collins all on one team. Wow...
Seems rather interesting. Looking forward to it.
The last player from Team Attrix is Leta! (According to Attrix's Instagram)
I enjoyed this last time
