Hearthstone's Battlegrounds Brawl event series has returned to celebrate Quilboars being added to the game! Cast by Frodan & Jia, the event will see four different teams of four players each competing for points and status of top tusk.
While this will be a fun event to watch, the best detail is Twitch Drops! By watching the event you can earn a total of two Forged in the Barrens card packs! Your first pack will take 2 hours of watching the event and your second pack takes an additional 2 hours for a total of 4 hours watched.
All the details on the event can be found below.
Quote From Blizzard Quillboar have descended upon the Hearthstone Battlegrounds and it is quill or be quilled! On May 12, from 10:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. PT, the Battlegrounds Brawl returns! 16 Hearthstone creators will be split into 4 teams—the Bristlebacks, the Razormanes, the Razorfens, and the Briarbacks—to compete for their share of a $100,000 USD prize pool! Tune in to find out who is bottom boar and who is top tusk.
How it Works
Scoring: Two games will be played simultaneously each round, with two members from each team in each game and seven total rounds of play. Points will be awarded at the end of each round, based on each individual competitor’s placement, and added to their team’s total point score.
- 1st place finish = 5 points awarded
- 2nd place finish = 4 points awarded
- 3rd place finish = 2 points awarded
- 4th place finish = 1 point awarded
Final placement and prizing will be determined by each team’s total point score after seven rounds. Each team’s total number of 1st place finishes will be the primary tiebreaker, if needed.
Where to Watch
Battlegrounds Brawl: Battle of the Boars will be broadcast live on the official Hearthstone Twitch and YouTube channels, with participants also streaming their own perspectives on their respective channels.

Still no Savjz even thou blizz promised that he would be able to compete in tournaments again...
Rumor has it that he was never actually "unbanned" so doubt we'd see him in future tournaments
Another rumor has it, he was unbanned and banned again soon after
So… Luna, as literally the only famous Trans player HAS a spot on every event from now to forever? Educated Collins has the same race card as the only known Black HS player… And Slizza sucks and from the other 7 women playing I only know 2 (Slizza because her crusade and Luna because she is actually a great player)… How and Why did the SJW people won this but Blizzard Employees keep getting fired before Christmas so they don’t get Christmas Bonuses and why entire departments of real workers get fired when they create an union? How is having ads with the same number of woman the point of a game with 90% male content creators? Can the SJW riot over real issues with the company instead of how their ads are presented?
What are you talking about? Slysssa has been one of the best performing Battlegrounds player in all of the recent BG tournaments. And before that she was a consistent Standard Legend ladder player. Take your incel hot takes to 4chan.
When I saw Blizzard and Cris Attalus trying to make her known I subbed and watched some of her Youtube videos. She is not known because she is only good looking, Her commentary is bland and obvious, her plays are safe and her explanations are shallow. Yeah, I get she has a great body and face but it's the internet, I don't watch HS streamers because they are beautiful. I watch them because they are fun and charismatic, and she has this "I deserve to be known" attitude I really disliked and kept being negative about random stuff. And the last time I checked, before unsubscribing to her Youtube, she smurffed to something like 4k and kept uploading random not memorable games. Like... if you can't even try to make Dragon Pirates or whatever Frankenstein warband in BGs at 3-4k mmr... why would I watch the video?
Funny thing, I know more of female players here than guys.
Also Slyssa you might like or not but she is actually competent both BG and ladder player.
Also most of your statement is just false. There is more than 10% of women in Blizzard and game industry.
Also Blizzard being ass about Christmas bonus is issue but separate from representation and inclusion in gaming industry.
It is not like we can only fix one thing at the same time, we can try and fix both female representation and union in Blizzard issues.
And people are vocal about all those things.
You're the only one, there most of them don't even crack the top 200 watched streams at all.
You only know several out of all the girls in the line-up and that is bad, how? The point is to get them exposure, there are not that many known female HS players/streamers, so yeah, you wont know all of them. Kinda proving the point here buddy :)
This is an Ad, not an charitable 100k twitch exposure for unknwon streamers...
While true that it is a business thing as well, why not both? You think just by doing "ads" as you call them, they will grow the game? How are they going to reach broader audience if they keep showing off the same faces? A little thing called investment is also something to consider. They invest in helping the community to grow and in turn, they get a bigger community, more consumers and potential money-spenders. But i see you already made your opinion.
You're totally right, why do people press ads in Youtube when they can put ads in Metacafe?! It's stupid really, if they want a broader audience they should stop using google and start using Bromeo and gagmemes.com!
I hope anything I say doesn't offend anyone but this is the internet so of course it will somehow:
I think it's great Blizzard was so quick to jump on board by adding more female streamers to their events. Good job on them for taking those strides, but at the same time, as a viewer, I'd like to see some of the players I'm interested in watching, like RegisKillbin or Brian Kibler. I get they're trying to go with more representation, but they're surely sacrificing some viewership. I don't want to say take out the female streamers or anything, but as stated, HS has 90% male content creator, so making the teams 50/50 in the name of equality just doesn't make sense to me.
Also, I'm glad these Twitch Drops will be more gracefully handled than the YouTube drops.
Regis and Kibler are much more constructed than BG players, so it makes complete sense to give others a chance. And I think especially for invitational tournaments it's important to mix familiar faces with new ones to prevent the 'old-boys club/'Blizzard sweethearts' effect. I would certainly feel that way if they were actually invited for a mode they hardly play.
About the 50/50 - I agree that it wouldn't make sense to always be adamant about this. But I think that they're doing it this time to give a signal. And let's not forget that the balance has been severely tilting towards the other end for a long time.
Hoping they'll invite Chump for the next constructed event!
I don't think the answer to this is to go back and only always invite the most popular creators. The answer is to simply hold more events so that they can have a healthy rotation of diverse creators to bring in a wider audience. If there was going to be another event in, say, two weeks, and Regis was confirmed to be there, then I'm betting you wouldn't be that disappointed about this one. Unfortunately, that costs money, and Activision-Blizzard still doesn't seem to really know what it wants to do with this aspect of the game beyond "promote the thing that just came out." Therefore, we get a trickle and more people are bummed that their favorite person isn't involved.
Those are ads for Blizzard, not ads for streamers. Why would Blizzard pay US$ 100,000.00 to have ads for unknown streamers? People saying there should be a healthy rotation think this is somehow Blizzard being charitable and giving free money to people. This is not, this is a freaking ad for us to watch and play and pay them money. We don't need unknown streamers doing this, we need CHARISMATIC streamers doing this and wether or not they are trans, female, black or gay, asian, latin or a freaking apache helicopter is not important. I won't watch the event if not exactly because Kripp will be in it and people should understand most people will watch and play because of streamers, not because diversity.
It is part ad, but also part support for their community, which is important to pull in and retain players. If they only invite the most well-known streamers, there won't be anyone to fill in the gaps once some of them inevitably stop focusing on Hearthstone.
Also diversity is not only about idealism, it also has commercial value. The streamers you find charismatic aren't necessarily the ones that all other players can identify with. A diverse cast of streamers can pull in a more diverse audience and thereby increase their player base.
Maybe they're overcompensating a bit now, but compared to rather monotonous rosters they used to have, I think it's a step forward.
Oh, and the #1 reason people watch isn't the streamers either, it's pack drops ;)
So... since big streamers might stop focusing on HS in the future... Like Kripp who I might add is invited... We should invite the top 400 streamers just because of their gender? wtf.
They didn't even say this lmao. Grow up
Stop moving goalposts, you said this in your first paragraph.
