That last Shaman vs Warlock game was so fun to watch
RNG is fun
@@rogerh2694 a card game is inherently around luck so if u hate rng so much hearthstone provably isnt the game for you
that wasn't shaman vs warlock, it was shaman vs RAPHAM
Yes it was a lot of fun but at the same time it proved that Hearthstone is just a slot machine simulator nowadays, based mostly on pure luck and RNG, yes it is a card game so RNG is inevitable, sure, but you can design a card game in a way to make it based less on rng and lot more on skill but with each expansion they are adding more crazy rng based cards, they aren't helping the situation AT ALL
@@arcticwolf6402 "Slot Machine simulator" so i guess Hunterace was just lucky winning 4 MAJORS in Hearthstone... It surely is sometimes RNG but HS accuires alot of skills to master.
Hunterace fought the essence of hearthstone in this final... Well done bro
How is this not linked in the description above ...
Match 1: 6:31 - Match 2: 17:41 - Match 3: 46:23 - Match 4: 1:02:31 - Match 5: 1:24:36
bad audio sync during the tournament and when uploaded no proper timestamp, blizzard quality for ya
High class esl at all their games, still better than overwatch tho 🤣
Mark Jindra thanks
Thank you. It makes the video a lot more watchable.
Thanks. U are a good man
The best hearthstone final, last game was insane
There are better ones with more skill and less rng but yeah good game
And it doesnt get much more hearthstone than that
I was really waiting for Viper to bottom deck Elysiana from Rafaam last game.
Incendiate true
Or Chef Nomi
@@markusgrenable Mechatun
I was waiting for him to M@A rush + FC like a boss... But he did archers instead.
The last game was great to watch but I imagine horrible to play and almost lose to crazy rng
neither person was losing to crazy rng... because they both got it.
Both of them got crazy rng
The finals was a massive joke.
@@ClassicTophatGaming why?
@@ClassicTophatGaming always remeber "Babbling Book" Finals
Game 5 reminded me of the Yugioh anime with all the really weird rng and goofyness.
This is one of the all-time best Hearthstone sets jesus
missed Lethal... on 14:50. If he sacrificed the Witchwood Imp to give the ONLY friendly minion +2 Health then attacked he would'v won! But GG it was a tense game and i really blame it on the stressed atmosphere :))
casters didnt see it either tho
That last match was pure Hearthstone lol; well thought out and constructed deck vs total RNG deck and the RNG almost wins.
Jonathan Garrad i was also quite pissed at the ever lasting luck of Viper.
@@Gijs9114 it's seems you didn't watch the first game...
rulo1234 flexis713 it seems you didn’t see this comment thread was about the last game...
@@Gijs9114 I know, but come on! Hunterace had his luckiest tournament ever!
Last game HAS TO BE the definition of Hearthstone. It was amazing, I was almost falling asleep and that game just waked me up! I really enjoyed it.
KRIP'S 'one hit point matters'
How tf did the find a host that speaks 3 languages perfectly?
Great play, but that is the hardest working most-language-speaking host I’ve ever seen.
And by far the prettiest.
@@dominiksucic2206 She was speaking Mandarin, English, and Japanese fluently. Did you really not notice the differences in her speech? Mandarin and Japanese don't sound similar at all.
very that, host needs more appreciation
I do very appreciate her but saying 'harderst' working, 'most' language speaking looks bit exaggerated
So many asians triggered yet how many of them would know difference between different slavic languages for example who sound almost same; and I speak more languages fluently than this host
What a well deserved win, that last game 🤯
to everyone who keeps saying Viper missed lethal - you all have the benefit of knowing it is explosive trap. It could have been misdirection and he loses on y'alls "missed lethal" plan. But i'm glad the average commenter who can't get to rank 5 loves pointing this out over and over again instead of talking about how great of a series this was. Especially the last game
those are a bunch of stupid noobs... this final was amazing, prob the best of all 5
tf are you on about, wandering monster has rotated, so only freezing and explosive are relevant, and the bump trade checks for freezing so it was indeed missplay
@@KiwiAndProud Misdirection because you don't even know all the secrets in rotation
Real point is we watch an amazing match and the comments are just "missed lethal" like a bunch of Monday Morning Quarterbacks. Instead of positivity it is just immediate criticism.
@@KiwiAndProud misdirection newbie
that 3rd game was prob the best game I've ever watched
Nah the fifth game was better!! Warlock vs Shaman was amazing!!
@@iarladonlon2826 that's the one I was talking about should've specified
@@ryanrobinson4287 you did specify you were just wrong man.
w dupie byłeś..
I was sadly disappointed when I realised this wasn't "TheViper" who's the best player in the world of Age of Empires 2

I wonder if they know about each other.
There are so many Vipers in esports lol. League's Viper is a Korean player who plays for the runner up team of the latest Korean split. Dota 2 also has a Viper, not a player but rather a hero.
I got fooled too. But still there is a Norwegian winning the finals. Go Norway!
hunterace is our "TheViper" in this one :P

Anyone else always come back to watch that last game?
Every year, when we are in December and the years going to the end…I must watch this video again. Hs dream
Hunterace got me like 5 Packs of Hearthstone! I picked him from the Beginning!
Oh my gosh, this host can speak three languages fluently.
I know right, when she started what I think its Mandarin, then went for English I was pretty impressed (considering how hard to learn the language is for both cases) then she went to Japanese and I was blown away.
Just came back to rewatch what might be the greatest hearthstone championship game ever played
man i miss these days
14:53 missed lethal. Atk the 1/1 stealth into the 4/3. That makes ur other 1/1 a 1/3 (not dying to explosive trap)
I saw that too
you cannot be sure, if this is the detournement secret, you need to do viper play for maximise your chances to kill.The real missplay was to play the other 1/1 stealth. if you play the 1/3 then atk face ford detournement, then play the stealth you have 100% win except on other discovery.
@@pymteam7096 pretty obvious it was explo with the crowd yelling tho ^^
its a missed lethal from our perspective, there are two secrets viper was worried about, explosive trap and misdirection. He could play around either one but not both. I could be wrong about this, but my guess is that viper really thought it was misdirection. Viper respected the fact that Hunterace saw the counterplay to explosive trap (the play you wrote out) and decided that hunterace wouldnt bluff in that position. So viper maximized his odds against misdirection and got punished for making the better play imo. I really felt for Viper in this position, that was a huge gamble
@@timotheeparis9618 The players can't hear the crowd
14:50 why didnt he trade the stealphed 1/1 into the enemy 4/3 to kill his own minion and buff one of his 1/1 to 3 healph so it survives a potential explosiive trap.
if its freezing trap his stealphed 1/1 wwhich attacks first wiill get removed and he still can attack face with his 1/1.
if its not freezing he wwould only have argent squire left, since he shouldnt have played any other minion, and his squire remains with just enough HP to survive a explosive trap
Yeah he basically had lethal there. Freezing trap wouldn't have mattererd, and he could've played around explosive. Only misdirection could screwed him.
saw that too,
it seems commonplace to miss lethal at tournaments now
Like Niels De Wolf said he was playing around misdirection
@@Mason2 But if it's misdirection, he then plays his other minions and is still better off than a 1/5.
He had no way of knowing it's explosive and not misdirection. However he still should have checked the secret first before tapping and playing anything.
Probably the greatest HS World Championship win and even run, based on what the casters said.
That last game was true hearthstone shenanighans and a genuine hilarious final game to watch.
I love how they deliberate for hours and then do what we were all thinking anyway.
14:10 a round of applause for this insane display of skill please
hahaha. Ya ikr?
Viper still should have won the game.
Absolutely insane last game! Well deserved win for a Hunterace. GG!
Last game was so intense I think I had a stroke and a heart attack. I was rooting for Hunter the whole time but those legendaries were so insane! Every single draw was super intense I can't imagine how it felt to go against it.
i can not imagine how much stress goes through these players' minds whenever they're playing this game XP
Remember when these tournaments used to be played in front of a crowd instead of everyone playing from home?Btw i still cant believe viper didnt won that last game
These were the days man...
ikr i miss these things
Game 5 was one of the most amazing games of hearthstone ever played. What an utter clown fiesta. Well played by both. Hunter ace overcame so much Rng and still won. Crazy game.
Watching it 5y later... miss the old HS times
Hunterace has shown why he always wins. He was playing stronger, making less mistakes. Fully deserved victory.
Hunterace has shown why he always wins because he clearly has the better skill. *Rolls explosive trap from burglar to steal game 1 omegalul*
@@AtroLine626 He missed lethal, so even if he got the explosive trap, the other guy played way worse. Missing lethal in a final is pathetic
@@eduardosanz9434 he missed lethal in game 1?
edit: care to show me where? also playing rafaam isnt guaranteed lethal cuz of sap
@@AtroLine626 trade the imp into the 4/3, now u survive the explosive. If its missdirection u simply play the other imp first so it redirects into it (maybe). But his play? Total garbage
@@eduardosanz9434 Eduardo Sanz Eduardo Sanz yes i agree that was the play but theres mind games to this why do you think hunterace traded his si7 agent instead of just breaking the divine shield and backstabbing the 4/3 that wouldve been a play that establishes more board presence for ace of course he bluffed that it was misdirection which viper tried to play around by playing his minions first so that the imp and squire have the smallest chance of not hitting each other which means if it was misdirection he wins 80% of the time whether he goes to the face or trades into the minion
and technically he did still try to play around explosive trap since his play leaves a voidwalker that sticks as long as hunterace doesnt have 1 damage
he knows hunterace has pick 2 lackeys and greenskin cuz of raiding party and miscreant so he just gambled on him not having 1 damage but of course you just ignored my original assertion that he rnged a board clear so when you say he "missed lethal" in hindisght yes when you have full knowledge of both cards and the secrets but there is no guaranteed lethal since theres always an rng element to it
i will tho admit hunterace had a brilliant bluff play even if he did get that godly hs champion worthy rng
That last game was the craziest game of HS I have ever seen.
world champion quote about final game "oof" LUL
This is so stupid that they play the world champioship games after the rotation and not within the same season that they used to qualify to it.
I hope they fix this....
Good point.
Seriously. Blizzard needs to realize the hype they would get from end season tournaments resolving then boom immediately at the end of the tournament they reveal a new expansion. I feel like this would help alleviate some of the boredom from playing near the end of rotations, just watch tournament with the old rotation.
@@sanshuri I agree but to play devil's advocate, Blizzard had around 100K people watching these finals that had entirely new cards, decks, and archetypes. Seems like a pretty good way to advertise a new expansion

he did win that match of a viper's coinflip on the rafaam turn and a 1% chance occurance. pretty lucky,but still he's a great player
@@mande7203 i agree he made some great bluff plays and made his opponent think it was misdirection by how he traded whereas the commentators first thought to make value trades but would make it obvious it was explosive trap in which viper would just then rafaam or trigger before playing another stealth boi
Remember how pavel used to win by sheer 1% luck?
Hunterace is like.. the opposite, he won against all odds. Respect.
What a match.
Winning against 99% odds = winning by 1% luck.
isn't that the same thing lol
29:01 "What a wet noodle fight of a mage mirror" hahahahaha
the first explosion trap play was so bad, Viper can just use the stealth minion to attack into the 4/3 first to get lethal. And there is not a secret to stop that. He deserves to lose this series if he misses such an easy lethal.
He thought it was missdirection - that's why he played minions before checking secerets. The winning line is losing line, if random secret is diffrent.
@@Innersoulwithinme Still, the opponite only have two outs, missdirection and explosioin trap. As a pro, he should consider both equaly rather than just missdirection. His play totally forget to consider explosion, since he totally lost board after that play. Even it is missdirection, it is better to attack in the 1/1 stealth into 4/3, because you have another 1/1 stealth in your hand for the back up.
@@chengchenghe2069 Thing is hunterace bluffed really well - trade 4/3 into Viper 3/3 is technically unnesesary - if Viper would missplay, you can trade 4/3 into DS 1/1, backstab 3/3 into 3/1, and if Viper make mistake, you have extra 4/2 to finsh game. Problem is, that line kinda shouts "it's explosive!", and chances that Viper make mistake are slim. Technically boardstate is same, but better, cause you have extra stats in play, and line for your opponent to win, is exactly the same.
But if you make that horrible on value trade, you say "I have to do that, in order to survive, 3 minions killed me everytime" and that suggest missdirection, and was great bluff.
And I can forgive Viper that he was baited out. I cannot thik, how stresfull thak kind of match is.
He had another stealth minion to try again that 1 kill point, I think that he also misplayed really bad there :P
@@emilianoulisesfigueroagarc4639 You do realise how misdirection works?
game 1 14:16 viper attack 4-3 with witchwood imp argent squire becomes 1-3 and survives explosive trap viper had lethal
gg hunterace deserved it big time. What a crazy last game. I'd have to call that a true clown fiesta, in a good and bad way lmao
Ghkihyu
id like to see anyone calling the last game all luck to play in hunterace's spot and see if they can manage to win
Straight missplay from Viper at 15:00 for not playing around Explosive trap or am I missing something?
So happy that Hunterace won, especially after the last game
I'm not.
So funny that they still don't know what underbelly fence does
Viper just threw the first game he could have traded the imp for +3 health on agent for lethal
@@xyzzzzz01 Yea thats true.
but the only secret that encouraged that play would be misdirection and even that could kill both of his minions. and since he could discover 1 secret ide probably thought about explosive the most. but never the less great plays from both.
@@xyzzzzz01 he misplayed by playing another stealth minion before testing the secret ( freezing trap vs explosive trap) which matters the most.
we get the information from previous plays that there is no taunt lackey and he can trigger the secret first, tap then play the stealth
Thank you for the packs man, and Congratulations on the win!
This was more than a final
Hunterace faced the essence of Hearthstone itself in this last game and won
14:44 - missed lethal (attack with IMP to minion, buff squire to 3HP)
Edit: LoL he actually got punished for missing it
They face off in ROUND. Very helpful.
wait game 5 was actually insane
DisguisedToast is psychic confirmed.
What an absolutely BONKERS game 5
Nobody:
Hunterace:
"Oof, yeah oof, oof."
@9:25 Hunterace misplays by attacking miscreant into the 2/2 when he was rushing a 2/1 to suicide anyway. It should have been a 2/4 miscreant trading with a 1/1 and the 2/1 trading with the 2/2.
i was looking for this comment and nobody noticed, that would even leave up a 1/1 for hunterace witch he could then rush with the lackey, kill of a direwolf and then play the active SI7 agent to kill of the flame imp
Everybody talking about the last game but ignoring the 1hp win in match 1
Okay nevermind the last game was insane
This game was lost for Hunter age. Viper missed lethal
This was breathtaking!!! WELL DESERVED WIN
The greatest way to end a Hearthstone World Championship. Well earned victory.
how is the first match RNG not mentioned?
Hunterace is the strongest and the tallest hearthstone player
Last year was so boring because of even and odd. All these games had meaningful value trades, tough decisions and just overall was a higher test of skill other than "I went first with an odd deck so I win haha." HS is fun again!
Manator Every game pivoted on random generations. Every single game and the outcome was determined by flipping coins. highest test of skillz.
@@lloydno966 ah, so if you had taken Hunterace's seat in this game you would've won?
did nobody see the missed lethal for the first game!?!? trade the demon that gives your argent squire +2 health then hit with argent squire wtf. And even if he played around misdirect then play the other stealth minion after!?!?!?
Thought exactly the same, people also forget about the wandering monster rotation. So it was guaranteed
I saw that too
The feels man, what a great world championship final
First game was insane
wow what a comeback on the first round!
Can someone explain why in game one on the last last turn Viper couldnt just play magic carpet then abusive sergent, and then the abusive sergent would get +1/+1 and rush and attack for the win?
1 - Anyone else notice the hostility in the commentary/casting crew? Sottle seemed to really hold Raven with contempt after Raven made several dubious remarks concerning in-game decisions. He started to loudly shut down every line of reasoning Raven introduced. Hard to watch.
2 - What an amazing Hearthstone match! Each game seemed to be decided upon complex in-game decision-making and not luck or inherent advantages in the deck matchups. We even got a comeback from 1 health. Bravo.
macnolds they’re easily my least favorite casting crew. They don’t gel together. I would so much rather have Frodan, Admirable, TJ, or Kibler (he wasn’t casting this time though)
they were horrible
1 - Those two are friends and that is jsut part of the "show" they put on.
Who likes it and who don't , that is and another question! :)
@@Cosminen I disagree, you can feel the tension between them through the screen.
@@Blakeus Every1 feels what they want to feel.
Anna Lee did a good job as host, commentary was great, games were nuts
Last game. Really enjoyable
agreed.
damn, commentary got me watching on mute
Anyone have the deck list for summoner mage?
Here are all of the decks of the hct contenders

Anyone knows how much prize money he got?
Hunterace vs Viper vs Hearthstone
Why can't the commentators just EXPLAIN THE CARDS!?
I used to love so much, conjuring mage! Great deck!
What an epic finish. Crazy final game.
That Rafaam card really gives that zoo deck a kick
Yea without Rafaam that zoo deck would be dead in the water. I knew zoo was his weakest deck, it’s so one dimensional.
the best world championship in my homeland Taiwan
it can't use any word to describe that match
That announcer knows Chinese, Japanese AND English?! I envy her~
I want to be in her
@@AcidicDelusion wat.
Only fluent in Chinese and English. She only spoke a Japanese a little, so probably only learned a little Japanese on the side. Not too difficult given how similar Napanese is to Chinese.

What an insane final match! Glad hunterace pulled it out in the end
This is the better final i ever seen holy!
Well deserved final win, god damn
What mage deck did they use in the mirror matchup? was it dragon mage or??
Look up Summoner Mage
„Flamestrike 2 - Electric Bogaloo“ was play of the game!
I love listening to Sottle graciously correcting Raven’s bad plays.
rossco54 it was so hard to raven try and formulate any turns. I counted maybe two good turns predicted by raven this whole series.
The last one was marvelous, always with hunterace!
why fking put rafaam in your deck if you refuse to play him?
why did hunterace conjurer the opponent kadghar at last turn in the mage vs mage game.. Im new someone plz explain
He was looking for a Doomsayer in order to clear the board
This final game must have been the nightmare of Hunterace - well played.
Viper could have won if just in the first game he waited and put down that stealth minion after the Explosive Trap was triggered. HunterAce didnt have an answer to a stealth minion. Also if Viper played that Azlina when he first got her, and he stole the Shudderwalk before HunterAce played him, probably would have guaranteed him the win too.
True but he had no way of knowing that he had shudder in hand and he needed to play for the board.
who needs a translater when you have a presenter like this sis :D
Yeah she must get paid a lot. Good charisma, good understanding of the core languages of hearthstone.
Господа, хочу узнать ваше мнение на счет последней игры финала. Сложно не согласиться, что это было захватывающим зрелищем. Однако, не возникало ли у вас мыслей о намеренной "подкрутке" карт? Современные вычислительные технологии могут обеспечить такой результат, тем более, турнир проводит компания разрабатывающая игру. Как вы считаете, могут ли люди, которые проводят турнир, пойти на такое ради зрелищности?
