I just don't get where the 10 euros or 1000 gold came from. They could toned down the rewards to few packs and do it without cost of playing it. I mean for 12 wins you got absurd amount of value. But to get that you proly need to be on MrYagut level and than you don't need that value for anything. It was nice thing for streamers for sure. | ||

This brawl looks like a quick test to see if Tourney mode should be developed in the future and some people are already giving negative feedback just because they are "missing" their brawl for 1 week. | ||

Why on earth they would do testing like that? Do you remember how did they gather streamers when they were working on the ideas of Standard/Wild? I bet they would do the same. Gather 10 good players, gave them a changed application of HS with the new tournament mode and seek their judgement. Is this brawl very competitive? I mean 12-2 is extremly good win rate, not like 3-2 wins you see most of the time at highest level. If you end with 3-2 in tournament you move on and win the match. Here you need like 8-3 to feel like winner. | ||

To me, if they don't have an entry fee they can't have the high rewards offered (otherwise you just spam it until you rng your way to high rewards). If you don't have high rewards then high ranked players are just going to dismiss it as a waste of their time. It's possible that the 'prestige' factor would have gotten them to play, but look how many streamers gave up after a few runs yesterday? They didn't all mindlessly grind Heroic Brawl and it's quite possible a few would have skipped it completely if it was set up like a normal brawl. | ||

But that may have been intentional. By having such a high fee, only the best players are going to join. It's definitely a rush when so much is at risk (relative to ladder, which is meaningless). And it's something that really drove up stream viewership. Streamers essentially purchased viewers (and subscriptions) with ingame gold. Then the masses watched them fight for our amusement. Very decadent in a way. edit: for example, Amaz had I think 55k viewers yesterday. I don't pay attention to his stream, but I'm pretty sure that's noticeably higher than normal. | ||

I do that high risk / high reward is a very strong draw on it's own especially for the top players who get a chance to show off. When I played Duel of Champions (RIP 10/31) they had 6-player swiss tournaments every other day. You needed a tournament ticket to enter (real money or random daily login rewards). Winner got a pack, which was a lot harder to get compared to Hearthstone (also random pack awarded to one of the other 5 players). So you better believe entering those swiss tournaments was quite a rush, except for the best players who stomped the field if they managed to dodge the other top players. | ||

Hate it or not, its far more interesting then "Randomonium" or "Encounter at the Crossroads" brawl. Interesting fact: if Blizzard just announced something in the lines of: "Brawl mode will be off for a week" and then a few days later release this mode under a new tab name, no one would ever complain. (or even make both available). | ||

It was rather entertaining to watch tbh. But shamans ruined the runs I was able to catch just like they ruin ladder. Like Firebat for instance. I think he had a very smart deck and he had teched to counter shaman, But then he simply drew really badly 3 games in a row (at 9 wins) and shamans did shaman things. Pretty frustrating. | ||
