Hearthstone Tourney Round 2

That's right ladies and gentlemen, it's a holiday again which means it's time for another hearthstone tournament.

Signups:
Post below if you would like to join this tournament with your Battle.Net ID and Challonge username (if applicable)
Signups will close on Midday (BST) Monday 6th, so if you know someone who would like to join but doesn't regularly check the forums, be sure to let them know.

Rules and Regulations:
Much like last time, this tournament will be in a double elimination format
Players will be seeded based on the results of the previous tournament, with players who did not partake in the previous tournament being given the lowest seeds
Each player will draft 4 decks, each deck must be a different class
Decks cannot be altered during the tournament
Each match will be a best of 5
In each match, players are given one ban, this can be used at any point between games to ban a opposing deck
In each match, you can choose to play a game with any of your undefeated or unbanned decks. You do not have to use the same deck in each game if you don't want to.
All matches in each round should be played as soon as possible, with a time limit of six days from when the match becomes available. If one party cannot play within that time, he/she must forfeit the match. If both parties cannot play within that time, an extension may be granted

FAQ: (I lie, these aren't frequently asked, in fact nobody has asked any of these questions, but I couldn't think of a better title for this section so here we go)
Q: What card sets are available in this tournament?
A: Basic, Classic, Reward, Naxxramus, Goblins vs Gnomes.

Q: What's the prize?
A: Satisfaction of being known as the best hearthstone player in the GM community*. AND A BADGE ON THE FORUM OH BABY

Q: Can I play even though I only have the basic decks and don't know anything about this game?
A: Sure, the more the merrier. This tournament is intended to be for fun and this is the main reason for there being no cash prize at the end of it, there's nothing at stake here except pride so join in and try your best (even if you get matched up with meh and get sweeped 3-0, you still learned something and can improve from there).

Q: I did shite in the last tournament, why should I bother with this one?
A: See previous answer

Q: Can we ban certain cards from decks?
A: No

Q: Can you feel the love tonight?
A: That's very forward of you, at least buy me a drink first

Q: We're playing our match when nobody else is online, what should we do regarding recording our results?
A: Well, the best thing to do is use the following template which I adapted from MC's post in the last thread, and post your results in this thread. I can then use that to update the challonge page when I return to my computer.

If you have any questions or complaints, please post below. Otherwise I wish you all the best of luck and hope that this tournament goes as well as, if not better than, the last one.



*Title of best player not entirely applicable if MC does not join this tournament. Title of best player is not redeemable and has no cash value.

 

I'm in! vand2#2260

 

Mystia#2483
But yeah I'm in with my super fun decks

 

https://www.gamingmasters.org/threads/battle-net-tags.10475/
i'll leave that there (will update if people want theirs added)

not decided to join yet

 

im in can't wait cos i use trump's basic decks and the lowest rank ive ever been is 15.

get ready for me to rekt you (although I'm gonna get loads of new cards).

 

Someone maybe shoutcast/stream the matches? would be fun

 

Everyone online just spectates and talk about the match as it happens in a different mumble room. I would gladly do some commentary on the matches but I get the feeling the majority would prefer the former style of just chatting in a different mumble room to the players.

I was planning on not signing on, but since interest looks low i'll put my name down if it helps make up the numbers to make this happen

cunts

 

SenorMeh#2619
Guess I'll join

 

Still not sure if I'll have time but yolo

Jindo#2479 if I'm not too late.

Also Lewy I expect you to enter (and win aggressively) with Innkeeper decks.

 

forgot to post my name Cactus#2928

also someone explain the template thing again cos I don't understand it.

 

Well, the best thing to do is use the following template which I adapted from MC's post in the last thread, and post your results in this thread. I can then use that to update the challonge page when I return to my computer.

 

So if you and Cactus were to play, you'd post something like this:

Bracket
Match A
Cactus 2-3 Vand2

Decks (bans in red)
Cactus: Hunter / Mage (2) / Shaman / Warlock
Vand2: Warrior / Priest (0) / Paladin / Druid

Game 1:
Mage (Cactus) - Druid (Vand2)

Game 2:
Mage (Cactus) - Paladin (Vand2)

Game 3:
Hunter (Cactus) - Warrior (Vand2)

Game 4:
Shaman (Cactus) - Warrior (Vand2)

Game 5:
Warlock (Cactus) - Warrior (Vand2)

So, you and cactus are going to play in match A, ie, the first match on the ladder, So you replace the X in the first line with the letter of the match you're going to play
Neither of you played in the previous challenge so there are no previous matches to show, so that section has been removed.
Cactus then decides he really hates priest and can't be dealing with their bullshit so he bans Vand's priest deck before the first game starts, this is indicated with the red highlight and the number 0 in the brackets
The first two games are played and cactus is stomping with his amazing mill mage deck that he created while high the night before the tournament. These two wins are indicated by the bolding of Cactus' name and deck under the game 1 and game 2 headings
Vand decides enough is enough and elects to ban Cactus' mage deck after game 2, denoted in the Decks section by the red highlight and the number 2 in the brackets
Vand then goes on to ༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ GO FACE ༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ and crushes cactus with a warrior deck in the remaining three games, leaving cactus greatly irate at the fact he wasted his ban so early on the priest deck
Final score is 3-2

If worst comes to worst and you can't for the life of you figure out what the fuck I have created in this template, just send me a PM or something with the final result, who won which games with which decks and what/when decks were banned and I'll type it up later.

 

So you can choose when to ban a deck (if at all), like the coup setup in previous Pinnacle tournaments?

 

Yep - Just decided to use the word ban instead of coup because it's a bit more clear what it does

 

Yeah no worries, I prefer ban too! Just using it as a comparison.

 

Ok i got it all now thank you

 

I'm late sorry, pls let me join.
