It also beautifully demonstrated why Hearthstone once you've paid five figures for all the cards has barely any wiggle room for skill outside of knowing / estimating possible random card generation results. Those games couldn't possibly have ended any other way for any player who doesn't make stupid mistakes because the random effects were so OVERWHELMINGLY more important than any skill involved. Edit: Thanks for the upvotes guys. We may laugh at it now, but this is unfortunately a constant trend. Remember when Pavel "Babbling Booked" his flight to the actual world championship title? Heck even in mirror matchups the variance of certain singular cards can now determine entire matches (primarly Hagatha Spell generation and how often Dr Boom rolls his perfect Heropower, mostly Delivery Drone)
Shame about the Game 1 Missed Lethal from Viper. ruclips.net/video/3Utz7oWvFFE/видео.html Attack enemy minion with imp. Give the other 1/1 2 health making it 1/3 and ex trap proof..
Viper vs Hunterace's last match was the most insane thing I have EVER watched in Hearthstone. I can usually never stick long to those HS matches but this one kept me cheering. Fucking CHEERING in a hearthstone match with people I little cared about. Madness. I loved it
same for me i dont really watch it to much anymore and when i try i cant keep watching but this final series this series was so awesome and vipers last draw was also part of all this insanity!
@@Definitely_Melnyx I still don't get why he threw 2nd witchwood imp. To me it was kind of obvious that it was explosive trap (because why would you stay in game if you're guaranteed to die next turn+ he was setting up for an AoE) and Hunter was at 1 hp so if he just triggered explosive, play 2nd witchwood imp then he would had lethal that hunter can't really deal with without another topdecking.
@@allhailderpfestor4839 Because he made a read that it was Misdirection. The expected play for Hunterace there if he had Explosive Trap was to backstab the 4/3 and trade his minion into the 1/1 with divine shield, since that leaves Viper with only 1 health minions on the board, so they all die to Explosive.
@@TheAce12570 That's correct, but even against Misdirection he could have played only the Voidwalker, attacked, and then played the second Witchwood Imp afterwards. That would have given him a slightly worse Misdirection chance, but he would have left a 1/1 Stealth on the board that the opponent couldn't kill except with Fan of Knives, and he would have had lethal the next turn.
i agree. such a great read which can only be made by odds and calculations and experience of playing hs. Even though i played sht load of hs this play would fear random draws like dire frienzy some sort of tracking or killcommand for lethal. Really good job from Casper
yup, thats why he is world champion, he tracked vipers deck, realized what vipers outs are if he does that and calculated that he has high chance to just win game instead of going defensively. I would definitely just heal myself with alex and chill.
Very well deserved championship for Hunterace,he clearly shown he played one of his best series. Outro song matched right in time after of the end from highlights moments of the matches. Well Played Trolden, Greetings Traveler.
@@lotinart2517 That is correct. Specifically, the first time he played Undatakah it got all the deathrattles (and kept them because of the Prelate effect). The second time he played Undatakah, it still had all those deathrattles, and its Battlecry gave it three more.

It's not lethal on missdirection, keep in mind that viper does not see the secret. Hunterace set up the board so Viper could not have 100% lethal, so he had to play around either missdirection or explosive and he played around the wrong one.
@@lastbeaf the reason Viper went for misdirection in particular was that bluff trade with IS-7 agent Casper made turn earlier. He could have saved the 3/2 body of IS-7 by backstabbing the imp but instead he traded it off, so it seemed like he was trying to reduce the amount of minions on board
that tap was so bad, play the 7/8 taunt is just better and may get lethal by Lerroy, priest 1/1 into something, And tap just lose the game because no direct damage in that deck.
Insane last game i watched it all live. Such crazy ideal game of hs back and forth, going to fatigue, every card count and rng is super important in that scenario.
I was so happy to catch the last two matches of the final on stream. That final match in particular was insane, back and forth, so unsure who would win. Thankfully, I got my packs cause Hunterace won, but it really could have gone to Viper.
I was rooting for Viper the entire time but when he started getting insanely lucky in the last match, Hunterace became the underdog and I really wanted him to persevere. Absolutely insane finale. Both players are phenomenal. If it were possible to give both players first place, I would.
The final match was beyond insane luckily I already knew that hunterace was going to make it otherwise I would have probably suffered a minor heart attack
´´or would have needed significantly more luck.´´ that's not the case with other card games. But Hearthstone should only entertain and not basing on skills. What a shame.
@@TintenHunter that is not really true. Hearthstone has the least random core engine of many games. At it's hearth MTG is way more random, in hearthstone the rng is just way more spectacular. In hearthstone The randomness depends mostly on the metagame and the matchup. (The cards played.) In MTG the randomness is built into the manasystem which can and does end games before they even started. Card games are and have to be fundamentally random but you can design the rng in many different ways. Some are more skilltesting than others, and some are more visible than others.
I think Hearthstone simply uses random mechanics to entertain. and yes its sucks in Mtg to be mana screwd. but you should not be a fun game compared to the one that has really deep mechanics. At yu gi oh you can not have any mana problems and it does not end well with cards with pure random mechanics.
6:50 why not just bump the imp into the 4/3 so that the 1/1 becomes a 1/3 to dodge explosive? Doesn't that play around all secrets? What secret does it play into?
thanks to prelate it kept all its enchantments which means it kept the deathrattles from the first summon then on 2nd summon it gets the deathrattles again therefore summoning multiple of those monstrousity
MISSED LETHAL AT 6:55! Run the Witchwood Imp into the 4/3, it passes the 2 extra health to the other 1/1. 1/3 then goes face and tanks the explosive trap with 1 health left!
First game of the Grand Finals was sooo bizzare. But Viper didn't missplayed as u may think. Because of Hunterace's misstake, which was atacking Imp with SI7 ( if he backstabed imp it would die to the trap) it looked like Hunterace was setting up for missdirection (maximazing chances of viper's minions killing each other). I can tell that it wasnt some kind of mindgames because of the look on his face (or maybe he is just a great actor but i doubt that ). So Viper thought it was Missdirection and he played those minions to higher the chances of at least one of his minions surviving. I may be wrong but it sounds like a perfect explanation
@@XFireXDrago the reason Viper went for misdirection in particular was that bluff trade with IS-7 agent Casper made turn earlier. He could have saved the 3/2 body of IS-7 by backstabbing the imp but instead he traded it off, so it seemed like he was trying to reduce the amount of minions on board
6:55 sad he missed lethal... if he had Traded into the minion first with the demon the other minion would have had 3 HP. Enough to survive explosive and del the one missing damage
Not a strict mistake. His play was the best against Misdirection, reducing the chances of his minions taking each other out, and if he did what you said misdirection always worked.
I noticed he played around misdirection, but often than not the if you Can chose between the two secrets you would pick explosive. Didnt say it was a strict missplay, just Said it was sad he didnt play around explosive instead so he would have won the game
Hunter make that play in order to make him believe was missdirection. He trade the 3/3 into 4/3 instead of backstab that and trade the 3/3 into Divine shield. If he took the value trades there, viper easily reads was explosive. Well played for both parts.
2:33 . Yea, Hs is getting better and better. Such skill. They lost Ben, and now have Magic has competition, and its a game that has little to none luckbased. Yea...

@@kellyeaton7252 There's more skill in Poker than Hearthstone tho since it's just random draws in that game and in hearthstone there are random cards with random outcomes that summon random things with random effects. I feel that it's justified to laugh at competitive Hearthstone because it's one of the least competitive "esports" out there and most people enjoy watching it just to see people being screwed over by rng.
I would have agreed with you IF Rafaam RNG in the last game had won the series. In the end not only the RNG was better than the average but Hunterace managed to win by getting the most value from his cards, in a non meta deck which included Ancestral Healing and had Hagatha in the last 3 cards of the deck.
объясните мне, пожалуйста, почему с гробовщика вылазило ТАК много существ? Он же взял три хрипа: призови 8/8, призови 7/7 и вернись в колоду. Почему призывает по 3 каждого вида в конце?
At 6:55 viper missed lethal,all he has to do is trade into 4/3 to buff the 1/1,of course he doesn't know what trap it is but by attacking into 4/3 first he takes out snake trap and freezing and its the only way to beat explosive trap
@@krizafect9421 its retardish to judge viper as he is one of the best players in hearthstone and it doesnt come and go, skill always stay with him. if u are really that interested, try to think of misdirection secret which he tryed to play around
God In Flesh it was still the best play,if its not a misdirection then you get lethal and if it is then you are not killing off your board but still have a 1/3 and a stealthed 1/1
Кстати похоже на пропущеный летал на 6 55. Он мог разбить беса об существо, и этим бы обыграл и взрывную и морозную ловушку. Или у ханта есть еще какой-то секрет от которого стоило играть? Перенаправление?
@6:40 i think this mistake will haunt viper for a while. just trading the imp into the 4/3 would've given the squire 2 hp and been able to live through explo trap. even if it was freezing trap, the imp would've just returned to hand and the squire would still go face for lethal.
Not a strict mistake. His play was the best against Misdirection, reducing the chances of his minions taking each other out, and if he did what you said misdirection always worked.

I have a question.
The Undertaker in Roger's match copied the deathrattle of egg, whelp, prelate. How can it summon multiple 7/7s and 8/8s?
Prelate's deathrattle keeps all the buffs deathrattles included.
I think it keeps the previous Undertaker's battlecry due to the effect of prelate, because it keeps the deathrattle enchancements.
Because copied death rattles stack.
prelate lets it to keep buffs. deathrattlle are buffs.
thanks to prelate it kept all its enchantments which means it kept the deathrattles from the first summon then on 2nd summon it gets the deathrattles again therefore summoning multiple of those monstrousity

Even though computers have allowed players to learn the lines, players will never learn the perfect lines, even computers may never learn the perfect lines. As comparison, Connect 4 is an exponentially easier game for humans to learn, even a solved game, but no human knows all of the perfect lines to Connect 4.
People were complaining about computers in the World Chess Championship last year, but since then, Magnus Carlsen has won 3 straight tournaments against Super GMs and is once again by far the best player in the world.
... LOL competitive poker? Oh right, there are players who can reliably bend the odds in their favor while to chumps the thing just looks like luck.
@@kellyeaton7252 There's more skill in Poker than Hearthstone tho since it's just random draws in that game and in hearthstone there are random cards with random outcomes that summon random things with random effects. I feel that it's justified to laugh at competitive Hearthstone because it's one of the least competitive "esports" out there and most people enjoy watching it just to see people being screwed over by rng.
I would have agreed with you IF Rafaam RNG in the last game had won the series.
In the end not only the RNG was better than the average but Hunterace managed to win by getting the most value from his cards, in a non meta deck which included Ancestral Healing and had Hagatha in the last 3 cards of the deck.
Kibler’s commentary is so good
Insane last game. Nailbiter to the very end. Makes HS look like a proper E-sport ;)
5:42 why does undatakah give double deathrattle?
My favorite part is the face of Hunterace at 8:26 !
Yes, definitely watch the full thing, but your editing adds something extra to it.
The finalists get amazing games with great interactions and I'm sitting here at rank 25 losing to murloc priest. Feelsbad man
Lol get good noob
Should've attacked first and THEN played a second Imp at 7:30
watching this from 2024 damn man i miss this
That last last game i’m so done XDDDD
11:17 the moment he knew he has to say wtf
сколько подкрученых моментов было? Считал кто?
(кол-во подкрутки в этом видосе просто зашкаливает)
объясните мне, пожалуйста, почему с гробовщика вылазило ТАК много существ? Он же взял три хрипа: призови 8/8, призови 7/7 и вернись в колоду. Почему призывает по 3 каждого вида в конце?
потому что это ебаный Хартстоун
Потому что хрип прелата, который возвращает в колоду сохраняет старые хрипы.
@@ДенисВертлиб-к6з чёрт, точно! спасибо, совсем забыл об этом тексте
That last game was amazing
Didn’t he miss lethal at 6:48 can’t he just attack into the minion then buff the other minion to 3 hp and win???
3:30 not guaranteed, if one minion survived it would have been a 50/50
They said it after both minions got hit by that spell.
At 6:55 viper missed lethal,all he has to do is trade into 4/3 to buff the 1/1,of course he doesn't know what trap it is but by attacking into 4/3 first he takes out snake trap and freezing and its the only way to beat explosive trap
y bruh he was nervous
God In Flesh well i mean it was pretty easy lethal,common sense,plays around all of the secrets that could prevent it since wandering rotated out
@@krizafect9421 its retardish to judge viper as he is one of the best players in hearthstone and it doesnt come and go, skill always stay with him. if u are really that interested, try to think of misdirection secret which he tryed to play around
God In Flesh it was still the best play,if its not a misdirection then you get lethal and if it is then you are not killing off your board but still have a 1/3 and a stealthed 1/1
Hunterace’s expressions are priceless 😂
6:55 trade the imp to get the other on 3 health so you play around both freeze and explosive? That would have been lethal on every single secret no?
Not against missdirection, which was the one it seemed (by not valuetrading the turn before and leaving only 2 minions)
This is one of the best and most intense Hearthstone videos I've ever seen....
Holy fucking shit...
Havent seen a more random final in my life
legendary game, hello from 2021 :)
6:52 how is is not better to test the trap first and then play the next imp if rogue clearly cant clear those easily ?
because it plays better against a potentially misdirection.
@@eddymannylow8216 How tho ? fewer targets for misdirection would mean greater chance to hit face
Кстати похоже на пропущеный летал на 6 55.
Он мог разбить беса об существо, и этим бы обыграл и взрывную и морозную ловушку. Или у ханта есть еще какой-то секрет от которого стоило играть? Перенаправление?
@6:40 i think this mistake will haunt viper for a while. just trading the imp into the 4/3 would've given the squire 2 hp and been able to live through explo trap. even if it was freezing trap, the imp would've just returned to hand and the squire would still go face for lethal.
He played around misdirect, not explosive or freezing.
Not a strict mistake. His play was the best against Misdirection, reducing the chances of his minions taking each other out, and if he did what you said misdirection always worked.
Хантерфейс заслуженно победил, а вайперу на протяжении всего турнира везло!
I really love how Hunterace is just progressively "the fuck? *the fuck?* THE FUCK?" throughout that last game lmao
That was intense af
That last game was INSANE. My boi Hunterace gonna give me 6 packs btw.
I still can't believe that Viper went from accidental Blackhowl Gunspire lethal at 0-2 to 1 game off champion trophy.
That was so intense!
