TheeFreakiishlyz Noo no no I think you misunderstood. A tournament edition that would be used so we the viewers can skip past all the waiting they do, and they would have to commentate on it afterwards of course. It's just beyond boring to watch someone take 5 minutes to make a play on turn 1, so come out with a Hearthstone version that lets them record and playback the game with faster turns.
Bit of feedback on the changes you've made: Much improved production this time around. The slightly more relaxed and muted tone fits Hearthstone much better, and the whole thing was much less awkward. Dispensing with the girls was obviously the right choice, but other than that I'm liking the change in format too - should see a good variety of decks, and the change to the ace match should be great. Kripp and Frodan work really well together as a commentary team. Good to see some new blood in the team line ups as well. Looking forward to seeing how both Savjz and Koyuki do - both are very interesting and strong players. Really excited to see the rest of the season. Good job to everyone involved!
It's really easy to play hunter aggro. I don't think you needed to think hard even once right ? It's nice to use to rank up easily but it's so not fun to watch in tournament. GG anyway :) Strifecro was a scary opponent ! Now just just for you Gnimsh. Please! Try to not be so pretentious.. Just wanna slap your face each time you're saying a thing :p
Kripp is a natural at commentating. Also glad to see the ESGN commentator tone down the childish pimp-style and generally coming off as more mature and secure in his role. Getting rid of the girls was also the right move (no offense towards them, but the situation was just awkward and silly). All in all (except for some remaining editing issues) I think that in terms of overall production quality, it's definitely moving in the right direction.
Much better production this season....GREAT choice to have Kripp as co-host, dropped the cheesy booth babes, nice commentary afterward. Blow out games but still a great episode
Kripp did great casting, only thing is most casters look at the camera more often to include the audience than to stare at the person he is talking to.
A retarded sea lion could play that hunter deck vs control and still win. Coupled with a 3 out of 3 (!!) Boar animal companion and perfect trackings, Gnimsh hasn't proved his skill to me -- other than possibly being a lucky leprechaun.
Unfortunate effect -> this stupid hunter deck is all over constructed ladder right now. You see a murlock 2/1 charge on turn 2 and you know you're in for some "fun"... To the face! :/ so lame
It's official, faceroll hunter has become a valid option in competitive play. Next up... faceroll warrior, gotta love `dem FWA + Heroic strikes to the face :)
Yeah, that was a refreshing change from the previous trash talk. Almost felt civilized and grown up and shit. Then again, as you say, we'll see how long that will last.
that esgn wheel is made out of some forever spinning material like you see artosis give it the lightest spin possible and it still goes on for long enough we need the wheel to be less efficient so you can give it a good hard spin and it will still stop quickly
I strongly dislike Hunter, to say the least. Ugh, so many winstreaks, down the drain. And I find it hilarious how, correct me if I'm wrong, but every time Gnimsh got the stupid pig, every time that charging pig xD
Yesterday an ESGN guy said that for 48 hours after the initial stream the matches are only to be aired on ESGN channel as rebroadcasts, after which they are uploaded on the youtube channel. Just thought you might want to know as to why they are being uploaded so slowly.
Does Gnimsh not understand that this is a spectator sport? If no one wants to watch then there will be no reason to hold these events and I will not watch anymore because of his eternal turns.
MetAMetAMetAC No, it doesn't - no fucking idea how you could interpret it aside from 'bad manner', he chose to win with the same topdeck that won him the previous game, and saying 'beastmaster' win is pointless.
He didn't want to do the prep involved in making decks, learning everything, and he felt like casting would leave him more time to stream for money during some of the event.
in future patches, they should put monk and death knights into the game since they are playable in WoW, i say the monk be taran zu and the death knight be darion morgrane
i could win the first match in 7 turn. at turn 4 he had to use the albatroz or whatever it's called and the hero power...next turn he had to play unleash the +1 wolf and the hero power ...and the opponent was been at 4 health.
I don't know.. Seeing that stupid hunter deck just bores me over and over. I think it's one of the most brainless decks out there and yet one of the strongest. - Doesn't seem right.
so, facing only hunters in game isn't enough, now they bore the crap out of everything on ESGN TV as well. No need to watch "professionals" play the same deck the same way as everyone else.
if given the chance, who WOULDN'T play in this. it's easy easy money. start with aggro hunter against anything, doomhammer al akir shaman and control pally to counter if you somehow lose because rng wasn't on your side.
New season's production is much better than last one's.
Also yay for Krip commentary!
Loving the New setups, format. Great job over there at ESGN TV
Blizzard needs a tournament edition of Hearthstone that lets turns take 5 seconds instead of 15 minutes
Making nozdormu useless ?
Asin Ooo Nozdormu is already useless.
It is true this :L
Money is on the line, what a moronic thing to say.

Dudes at ESGN, these videos need time stamps! Goddamn it!

For those wondering here is the list I've played. i.imgur.com/RT974im.jpg
Right now I'd change 1 card. -1 Arcane Golem + 1 Kill Command.
Thanks Gnimsh!
Hunter will be even more popular now. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!
It's really easy to play hunter aggro. I don't think you needed to think hard even once right ? It's nice to use to rank up easily but it's so not fun to watch in tournament. GG anyway :) Strifecro was a scary opponent !
Now just just for you Gnimsh. Please! Try to not be so pretentious.. Just wanna slap your face each time you're saying a thing :p
I am not sure about animal companion :/.
This is a realy lowskilled deck. People who play something like that are really Brainless. Sorry dude
Nice to see Kripp commentating and doing the interviews in the end (I know he's not the asking people questions type of guy), well done!
this was defiantly a better episode (production wise).
I love Kripp as a caster. Keep up the great shows! Love the series.
Kripp's commentating is great. He should definitely do it more IMO.

Blow out games but still a great episode
These vids are great. They need more views.
The stopper on the wheel is like a dong slapping the faces of all the players :)
Best t-shirt ever by Kripparrian. thanks for making me come
Kripp did great casting, only thing is most casters look at the camera more often to include the audience than to stare at the person he is talking to.
I am glad that Gnimsh used this deck, i hope Blizzard will see this and change their stupid combat/blocking system.
A retarded sea lion could play that hunter deck vs control and still win.

Why is this video "unlisted" ?
It's official, faceroll hunter has become a valid option in competitive play. Next up... faceroll warrior, gotta love `dem FWA + Heroic strikes to the face :)
its fun but you realy need more teams.
Love cripp as a commentator. Hes a natural pro.
I like the players telling us about how their opponents are good.
...
Well, that will probably last until ek0p is up. :P
Yeah, that was a refreshing change from the previous trash talk. Almost felt civilized and grown up and shit. Then again, as you say, we'll see how long that will last.
thoose orange sneakers, duno what to think about them ^^ they look so strange but still fit the overall sheme
"Team Dogehouse vs. Team Liquid Value" - my ass... More like "Whites vs. Asians"
That's why Kripp's casting,LOL.
that esgn wheel is made out of some forever spinning material
like you see artosis give it the lightest spin possible and it still goes on for long enough
we need the wheel to be less efficient so you can give it a good hard spin and it will still stop quickly
How did that happened at 22:30?
I strongly dislike Hunter, to say the least. Ugh, so many winstreaks, down the drain. And I find it hilarious how, correct me if I'm wrong, but every time Gnimsh got the stupid pig, every time that charging pig xD
"This hunter thing may keep rolling" If only they knew at the time.
+CHRLPTRSN I come from the future, Hunter is the worst class and shamans go face harder than they do.
happened to the girls? where are they?
Obviously, they came to their senses.
OOOH Season 3 WOOOHOO
why is there no ambiance when they are talking at the end? it sounds so weird
They get rid of the cheecks and the stupid wheel that was taking an age to roll. Smart move to listen to the people :)
Fight Night was interesting because they were playing high skill, high level decks. I really hope this is the last huntard we see.
why would you play psp on a show, even if the recording takes forever?
kripp, i love u so much man ! OJ power!
What is a BM finish?
Am I the only one that thinks the spinning of the RNG wheel is hilarious?
All this video has shown me is how broken hunter is
strifecro fucked up with his warrior... he barely armoured up the whole game
yay krip is caster
Turn timers! Please!
will someone tell me what BM stands for?
Bad Manners ^^
beast master ofc
One love-Truuuuump!
Where are the girls? ;-(
I'm glad they got rid of them, but they still can't seem to edit properly to show the current player's hand...
Gnimsh sure is thinking hard about going face or going face.
so slow to upload these matches. Game 2 already aired. Game 3 airing today pick up the pace
Yesterday an ESGN guy said that for 48 hours after the initial stream the matches are only to be aired on ESGN channel as rebroadcasts, after which they are uploaded on the youtube channel. Just thought you might want to know as to why they are being uploaded so slowly.
Is Gnimsh's hunter deck the reason why there are a bunch of these meta decks..?
fight night at 1 o clock :D
US = Asia?
The smart asses in US might be Asian ^^
Is StrifeCro playing a Vita? Awesome
"Cruel Taskmasker" srsly this guy...
I thought he said "cool"
Hunters so op now. xD
Wait, wait, wait WHERE HAVEARE THE PRESENTERS LOVELY ASSISTANTS GONE? :P
Hunter is soooo f+++ing broken.
So anticlimactic when the wheel spins and the music stops xD
48:40 i would love to see double savage roar just for that terrible leeroy play
the top 8 players in the world, as voted by fans
GO AZN TEAM!
kripp did a good job besides some awkward moments lol.
They messed up the names in match 2 haha.
don't let the man bring u down kripp
StrifeCro is really playing PSP while Artosis spins the wheels.. wow.
yeah lol... was surprised by that too..
Every dogs has its day :>
I'm in Washington too
When the game begins, the player knows the deck of the other?
Manuela Sacristani no
Am I missing something with the 4/5 monster that cant attack? Its feels like a waste of a card because it doesnt even have taunt.
You can silence it yourself to make it a low cost card with 4/5 or use a defender of Argus on it to make it a 5/6 with taunt.
Season 3 aka play hunter
Does Gnimsh not understand that this is a spectator sport? If no one wants to watch then there will be no reason to hold these events and I will not watch anymore because of his eternal turns.
Omg these guys need 10 minutes for the most obvious plays...
That hurts so much
what does BM stand for? :S Like BM kill
Bad Manner. It is considered bad mannered to play extra cards and take longer than necessary to kill your opponent.
Ryan Mercer thanks buddy, I knew what it was but never understood what it exactly stood for
Beastmaster
eagleshot1337 You have been trolled, it really means beastmaster in this context
MetAMetAMetAC No, it doesn't - no fucking idea how you could interpret it aside from 'bad manner', he chose to win with the same topdeck that won him the previous game, and saying 'beastmaster' win is pointless.
Why isn't Kripparian playing? Although I'm glad Kripp is still there casting.
He didn't want to do the prep involved in making decks, learning everything, and he felt like casting would leave him more time to stream for money during some of the event.
He enjoys watching from both sides. He said it in his video.
IMO, he does an excellent and pro job at commentating.
Anyone else notice strifecro is constantly twitching his eye
god artosis's lack of accent surprised me, he looks like he'd have some sort of european accent
Team LiquidAsians vs Team WhiteDoge
Thought it was Team Liquid Asperger vs Team DoucheHouse
Schlitzer McEark LOL
Why hello there Kripp :D
in future patches, they should put monk and death knights into the game since they are playable in WoW, i say the monk be taran zu and the death knight be darion morgrane
Where da girls at?!
Why does every player in tournaments always drag ass on very obvious turns?
Gnimsh always got the boar, so f*cking lucky
i know they're on the same team, but savjz's priest deck that lost to koyuki in their last game S3E3 would annihilate gnimsh's hunter deck
Where are the grills?!?
i could win the first match in 7 turn. at turn 4 he had to use the albatroz or whatever it's called and the hero power...next turn he had to play unleash the +1 wolf and the hero power ...and the opponent was been at 4 health.
That mic switch...
Mm I the only one who noticed the lack of schoolgirls in this season?
I don't know.. Seeing that stupid hunter deck just bores me over and over.
I think it's one of the most brainless decks out there and yet one of the strongest. - Doesn't seem right.
I really dislike gnismh... The hunter agro is really a cheeze play and no brainer play..
Lol, these guys look hilarious...
hate that arrogant ekop but the others are really nice :)
woah this is old
lmao professional everything, sound, video, set, players and announcers.. Except you know, a dog on set hahaha
skip to 5:09 for kripp
Kripp as caster so much better then him playing. The only reason Im watching this is coz kripp is casting
I dont understand they find turn 6-7 loss as a druid as bad, Its hunter v druid, it means less than 2% chance it would have been strifes game.
Suomi mainittu!
so, facing only hunters in game isn't enough, now they bore the crap out of everything on ESGN TV as well. No need to watch "professionals" play the same deck the same way as everyone else.
did you prefer the perma freeze mage..?
Skillmsh? Anyone? no? ok, cya later
Lol, strifecro playing psp...
BRING ALL THE ASIAN-AMERICANS! :D
if given the chance, who WOULDN'T play in this. it's easy easy money. start with aggro hunter against anything, doomhammer al akir shaman and control pally to counter if you somehow lose because rng wasn't on your side.
If he only had 1 or 2 taunts,he would have won all the games.
