After almost a year of Hearthstone (Free) matches, some tough regional qualifying series, and an equally tough Group Stage last week, the Hearthstone World Championship final stage is finally upon us, and it’s shaping up to be lots of fun! The Group Stage produced some big surprises, biggest of all being the great performances by Asia-Pacific Region players, who most considered the clear underdog. The other surprise was that there’s only one surviving member of the Americas team. Add to that some surprise eliminations of fan favorites like Lifecoach, and you get the idea about the upcoming playoffs. Expect to see even more surprises during the weekend and maybe, just maybe, Shaman going all the way (wishful thinking on my behalf, I know). Your final eight are ThijsNL (EU), Kno (APAC), ZoroHS (CH), Kranich (APAC), Ostkaka (EU), Hotform (AM), DieMeng (CH), and Pinpingho (APAC).
The Hearthstone World Championship will take place in Anaheim, CA during BlizzCon, and the first quarterfinal match, ThijsNL Vs Kranich, begins 12pm PST (in less than two hours). Ostkaka Vs Pinpingho will take place at 1:15pm PST, DieMeng Vs Kno at 5pm PST, and Zoro Vs Hotform at 6pm PST. The Semifinals take place on Saturday, one at 10am PST and one at 12pm PST, and the Grand Final will be at 2pm PST. The matches will be Best of 5 Conquest, so I hope to see plenty of 3-2s. Go here if you want more details on the Top 8. So, who are you rooting for? I’m at fully behind Pinpingho, the Shaman Master!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wish it supported Apple TV. This game begs to be played on the big screen. Purchased it anyway.
It's a shame I'm still only rocking an iPhone 5. Also, I'm kinda disappointed that this game was "years in the making" but only has 10+ hours of gameplay. At $8.99 that's not that great.
I bought Parasite Eve for $40 new shortly after buying a Playstation. It took me just under 9 hours to beat the first time, not including the New Game+ stuff.
I never complained about it.
I KNOW I commented on this but for some reason, deleted maybe?
Anyway.. $8.99 for 10 hours or more of gameplay is a steal. I've seen A LOT of games offer less content for more money, with IAP to unlock other stuff inside.
This? Not so much. Plus, who knows, they may add additional content at some point.
A lot of movies have also been "years in the making", but they're usually over after 90 minutes of watching in the theater.
Thats more story for the buck then many Tripple A console games
Shame this requires iOS8 to play. I'm still on 7 because of all the games that stopped working on 8, and now you're forced to go to 9 directly, which breaks other games that I still play.
You got to move on with the times. Or do what I do, my phone has iOS 9 and my ipad has iOS 7, problem solved!
No Android version?
Really!? You know you are on a iOS website right? Imagine the heat one would take for posting such question on an Android site as an iOS user.
Well let the kids fight. I'm not some fanboy. I just wanted to know because my current phone is Android. But I do have a bunch of iOS devices.
Been playing this all day, now in the middle of second story mission in the wetlands...I am hooked!!! Beautiful game, sound effects, action effects, and overall production.
Requires internet to Play?
Because, every time i load the game ask me about internet!
They need to release this in all regions ASAP.
Hahahah!! I can't find this game on the Japanese app store. This sucks, but at the same time it doesn't surprise me.
