[Concluded] Clasko Hearthstone Cup #3

[Nu0n]

got your message the other day Clasko ^-^

sign me in, ill be sure to be on before check-in this time :X

[shenjoku]

So once I have three decks do I need to submit them or something? Or are we all just assuming everyone is using the decks they made for the tourny and not adjusting between rounds or something?

With this, im going to say everyone must use the same 3 decks, constructed before the event starts.

Ya 3 Decks in total, having 3 variations of hunter or warlock would seem a bit unfair since collecting the exclusive legendary and epics that come with that particular deck is much easier than collecting the exclusives for 3 different classes. Last Clasko bracket tournament I played in I automatically assumed we would need 3 different deck classes. If I beat a hunter beat down only to play a new style hunter beat down id like to make sure they prepared the decks before knowing the opponents class/tactics. With that said if you guys do end up allowing the multiple decks of the same class we should have those participants SS the decks they will be entering with.

Idk I have the same question atm. im sure we will decide on allowing decks of same class as long as you can submit SS during check-in, this wont prevent people from being able to use the same exclusive cards for any particular class, but this would prevent the player from making small changes say like "Big Game Hunter" taking this card in and out of your deck seems to be the #1 trick used when playing a friend. If you know they play all low monsters you will want to remove Big Game Hunter for something more spread out and explosive, or the other way around if you need more removal but don't have anything left in your class to add, Big Game Hunter would be a "destroy 7+ attack minion + a 4/2 minion on your side of the field."

Changing 1 or 2 cards in your deck mid tournament is still possible if you take into consideration that the SS's would end up only being seen by tournament staff. Having everybody take SS's of the 3 decks and then sending them to Clasko, Once all the players are checked-in and SS's uploaded clasko can zip up each players SS into separate ZIP files with a password only he knows. Then play the tournament and if somebody loses and feels like the other player may have switch a few cards out, he can message clasko for the ZIP and password he can unzip the files and see if the decks have anything missing from when they were playing.



ya that would be a never ending cycle of blame haha

Im trying to follow standard rules. Its the same as any other hearthstone event that is currently being held. I've been a little lax on situation.

This is a possibility that will never happen. You may only play a class once.

To address the both of you:
I'm not requiring screenshots of decks, its way to much work on my part, and even if i did, i couldn't watch each match to verify that the person was making good on their end.

ya awesome ^^ and yes too much work for you that results in no change in the actual outcome of the match

Just learned you can't trigger a secret on your turn anymore. Or at least I think that used to work...That certainly changes things haha.

you also can't play counterspell to counter secrets already placed a turn before. I haven't.. .. mind fuck o.o i haven't seen somebody activate a secret on purpose on their turn, but if you faceless a charge then attack you could activate the opponents secret "lets say explosive trap" then if you happened to be Paladin you could do that damage inflicted on your hero back at them, so i guess for that and possibly other secrets i am not aware of having this change of triggers could be some what of a blessing when up againts people who take pride in copycat decks that feed on charge and card effects. but that is only if you're talking about the first turn you play a secret, if you mean you cant activate your own secrets on your own turn period, then ya i can see that being a problem for the few classes that can take advantage of that situation more often than not.

Yeah that's what I meant. I swear that used to work, but then again I almost never used to use them so probably just never noticed.

[emerald000]

That rule changed recently. Secrets only activate during the opponent's turn. That makes the secrets of the paladin even worse.

That's the reason why I noticed, because I was trying to activate paladin secrets by killing stuff on my turn.

I'm in for tonight!

[shenjoku]

So there's a possibility I might have to leave in the middle of the tourny. How long do these normally go on for?

[Fallen.kaede]

Last time it finished at around 11pm. So maybe sooner if you don't reach the finals.

[shenjoku]

I don't expect to get very far, but you never know haha. Still not 100% when I'm leaving yet, trying to figure that out now...

EDIT: Looks like it's being pushed back to the weekend so I'm free for tonight, yay

[Guest15937]

It says 8cst on OP but 9cst on bracket. Which is it?

[shenjoku]

So how are we gonna keep up with what's going on during the tourny? Is there a way to do a group chat on battle.net or something?

Keep open the bracket and you'll see who you will play. You will have to report your results to clasko via Skype/B.net.
