Whats happend with Kolento
Subbed. :) hoping you get to do Noxious and Day9 too..

Was Blizzard's move the real scamaz all along??
Amazing Blizzard took Amaz off a tournament without letting him explain himself all the while a Activision Blizzard was doing way worse and when accused of things put out one of the most tone deaf press releases I have ever seen.
Garbage company, Amaz deserved better
Not only that but Amaz is gay, and that's important cuz it makes it so that he had no intention on harassing the girl, and in the pool she was with a bunch of other guys, there's no reason why he would take the blame alone. That was BS
@@patrulhadomultiverso5562 Him being gay isn't too relevant as he was never accused of harassment. He was the organizer of the event and therefore it could be said that he has some of the blame. The real problem is that they never gave him a chance to defend himself which is what Blizzard has done consistently. Anytime any kind of drama happens, Blizzard will burn any bridge to distance themselves from the drama. They don't care about who's right or wrong, they only care about the publicity of it.
@@keremcantarhan blizzard always gave its content creators the middle finger, they (blizzard) always gained alot and gave the least they could, and whenever there was a problem just threw them under the bus for damage control.
@@patrulhadomultiverso5562 Do you not know accusations prove the guilt, becuse if he was innocent he would not be accused..... I have no clue if he was guilty or not, but lets jump over the fair trial part, give a bad tast.
They had to put locks on the female fridges because people were stealing breastmilk.
Im glad i quit blizzard, they are dying slowly now
Dude, you're basically chronicling the fall of the Roman Empire. Hearthstone's fallen so far, documenting where all the "Stars" of the golden age is a brilliant idea, Rarran. Good stuff.
Those were the days man. Some of that content helped me get through some boring, rougher times of early adulthood, looking back.
Yeah but he literally just skims through it like it's high-school history class. I got suggested the firebat video and I was like wait you're not gonna go dive into the purple/zalae thing after bringing it up as the main downfall. Then I get to this one and its the same principle. I got into HS in beta and stopped following all of these guys after the big in house tournament scamaz hosted so I clicked on this wanting to know what may had happen to then being told to go look for it if I wanted to know more. He may have been a fan but if he was a true fan, he could of made some well informed analysis about it with the intention on maybe making some of their haters see it from his perspective. He missed the mark imo in delivering on this which seemed to be his goal by doing these in the first place but instead all I saw was a guy doing a shout out to the hall of farmers looking for clout or something. I always appreciate anyone willing to dish out basically any form of content but I feel like he could of made an educated and well rounded overview of what happened and by the sounds of it he seems like someone who followed the scene through all its tenure unlike the rest of us.
Tldr I was expecting a nod to the OGs from someone who seemed and sounds like he followed them through thick in thin and after instantly clicking with his way in delivering his initial pitch, it turned out to be a "readout" of something Google could of thrown at me if I had asked Google home. Wasted opportunity on getting even more traction imo
Ps. Use this as constructive criticism. Let me know if it was to harsh and ill delete it but I just had to point it out.
This is a great way to put it. Hearthstone is definetly waaay past it's prime. Gone are it's glory days.
@@denisskenderovic3707 you might want mech mage back, but you don't ;)
Amaz was the reason I loved HS, his energy his joy made me watch a game I didnt even play. His PvE runs were so entertaining that I watched a couple of his runs again and again.

Huh, i always found him way too preformative and a bit annyoing, always preferred watchibg people like Trump and Kripp personaly, but i stopped watching and playing HS years ago, prob the most expensive habit i used to have
@@MrAskmannen I also prefer to watch more calm streamers lol But kids love overreacting adults being spontaneous and excited for no reason.. so that’s what we mostly get 🤷♂️
Trump? I agree. He is also cringy and funny in his own way. I like him.
Kripp? I don't dislike him but I saw a stream where he did nothing/say nothing for 22 minutes straight so.... I rather have noisy amaz by faaaaaar than literally nothing dude.
Amaz and Trump were my favorite streamers/youtubers during a long time, and the reason for me to start playing HS, I don't have so much time as years ago to see lives and things like that, but is good to know how these guys are going, nice video Rarran.
The fact that activision of all companies didn’t give a person like Amaz the way to defend themselves against those types of allegations considering everything going on is…ironic to say the least.
Right? I'm all for believing the victim but at the very least let him give his side of the story so we can make an objective conclusion.
Just saying no, we're not talking to you and you're banned is just so slimy and hypocritical considering it's Blizzard.
Its all publicity with companies like that. They will condemn anyone because thats the "right" stance to take in the eyes of twitter and they will throw all those virtues out the window the second it doesnt suit them anymore.
"Rules thee but not for me"
"Look how progressive we are putting prominent minorities and females in our games dont mind our own many scandals. Look we changed Mcrees name everythings cool right?"
@@luminous3558 as a progressive person most of these companies aren't progressive they just see the money in being progressive and put up the smoke screens
You gotta keep doing these dude. Reynad, Lifecoach, StrifeCro, Lothar, Eloise, Zalae, p4wnyhof, MaSSan and more. It's been nostalgic hearing about the old guard and even if there isn't any drama it would still be cool just to hear about what they accomplished and where they are now.
p4wnyhof is kinda big in content creation for warzone
This please
For MaSSan, I seem to remember there were some accusations about Twitch-botting, but mostly he ended up having to do his 2 years military service, and that was the real killer. You can't be gone for 2 years on Twitch
@@Leroystenzel p4wnhof is a B******
@@youbluethatone1017 so? Why did you feel the need to tell me that?
Amaz was one of the biggest reasons why I started playing this game and more specifically, playing Priest because of all his energy and shenanigans.
It was really tough watching his video and the way he was dismissed from the HS scene without even being given a chance to defend himself.
Dude was essentially DisguisedToast in terms of viewership (20 - 25k regularly) and was so entertaining to watch.
Amaz was the first HS streamer i watched. I didn’t even play HS myself for quite some time but i always watched Amaz. And OMG all those nicknames? It felt so good hearing him call that one minion scorchie. There are a lot of cards which actual names i don’t know but only by their nicknames. For example who can tell me, who Billy is?
Billy is the 2 mana 2/1 Murloc with Charge if i remember correctly
@@Firestormxs 1 mana 2/1 murloc with no text
@@panda2069 oh then the charge murloc was Andy
@@panda2069 Right! 😅
Yep, "Billy the totem killer" to be more precise
you're really nailing these mini documentary videos!
These Hearthstone documentary type of videos are really awesome. I've been playing since the beta, and I forgot how many big names have just disappeared from the scene for one reason or another. Thank you for making these!
I was really into his arena playings. ıt was fun to watch him and learn from him. I hope he is doing well.
Amaz is right about people assuming the worst when no info is given. I had no idea about any of this but totally thought that since Amaz seemed to just disappear in a sense, he must have done something wrong or at least been accused of such. Now it turns out that this may just be yet another reason to dislike Blizzard.
not just may. It Is another reason to dislike them
I am going to sound like the old lady that I am, but I am so proud of you, Rarran! You found yourself struggling to sustain views in this wacky meta, and you were feeling down and frustrated. But, instead of defeat, you tapped into the creativity that got you this far and revitalized this channel. YAY YOU!
Wholesome comment. :)
@@blindey It's his Mom
Amaz is the reason I play Hearthstone to be honest. I still watch him play Slay the Spire, but I do miss him on HS. Good video as always Rarran.
For me is the other way around. I dont watch any of the old days HS streamers cause i cant stand the game anymore, not even BGs that got me interested for awhile. Some streamers that i love like dog and savjz.. but amaz i still watch whenever i can because he streams other games that still feel fresh
2022 and you can just feel the irony. Well played, Blizzard.
no?
Can’t wait for the next episode of the series: Why Kripp keeps playing Hearthstone
It pays his bills. Video done 😜
I took a break around the time Amaz stopped streaming, so I had no idea. I came back a while later and he was one of the first streamers I went to watch. Alas, he wasnt playing HS anymore.
This is so cool to learn about! Amaz is more over-the-top than I usually like, but I remember following him specifically because he was like the ONLY streamer playing so much priest back when the game launched.
Amaz is my favorite hearthstone player. A loving, cheerful and funny friend who managed to endear himself with these aspects and I would like to see him again on hearthstone screens.

This hit home. I’m so sad Amaz had to leave. Blizzard really f’d up with him.
Hey 😊
@@naksir8888 ❤️❤️🥰
I remember when I found amaz over on twitch and was blown away by this game and seeing it be played for the first time. He and toast were the reason why I started hearthstone in the beginning. Good times to remember
it always amazes me of how Blizzard single handedly killed its own supporters/player base/streamers on all of its games: Diablo/WoW/SC/Overwatch. The company is just a nut case.
They also single handedly killed HoTS and that wasn't even related to the player base, they just woke up one day like yep fuck this game
@@SomeRandomName999999 oh yeah I forgot to mention that whole shenanigan.
@@Kiyoshi2207 what happened there?
@@zj871023 they basically just killed the Esport overnight, meaning a lot of pro players lost their livelihood from one day to another, it was also strongly hinted that Blizzard had known for months but just not said anything, which is known as a dick move.
@@ElementVoidX thanks for the info
no mention of scamaz is weird
I know right?
I just came back to this after watching the Voxy Collab. This is why I love Rarran because he addresses the individuals that made hearthstone great and also invites people from other TCG to come and experience it. You should be the unofficial Ben Brode for this as you have a great respect for the individuals playing. To give Amaz that final word while retaining some of the more personal detail is beautifully done, a great send off to a hero of a player and why I like repeating your older videos. Keep being you dude, you’re awesome!
Damn hearing the name amaz reminds me of those college days after a night out drinking or classes unwinding and turning on twitch HS category at night. Amaz, Reynad; Krip, and my fav Byron. Thanks for this vid man it took me back, feels like yesterday but time moves on faster than we realize.
Amaz was my favorite and first streamer I watched on twitch for years. I feel disgusted for what happened to him but I don't have enough knowledge on the subject. I just can't watch his stream anymore because the games he plays are not entertaining me, and I don't see the point of viewing by charity or pity.
Anyway I share every word you say and your feeling on the last part of this video. I just hope he's happy.
If you don't know what happened why are you disgusted? You're being manipulated bro.
Amaz is probably one of the reasons I still play Hearthstone to this day. I used to mainly run Priest even when it was one of the worst classes, and still play my Randuin deck in Wild from time to time. Amaz was always so entertaining because of his reactions and his personality. I miss the old days of HS.
There was also the "Scamaz" drama.... Where he apparently changed the rules mid tournament to make sure that players with bigger names would progress in the bracket
Amaz was no cap my favorite Hearthstone creator. He was funny,full of energy,real, and a fellow Azn. Hes pretty similar to Day 9 who also moved away from HS. Then he just slowly moved out of Hearthstone and started playing things like Auto Chess like games/or ironically other rogue like card games like Slay the Spire. Just wasnt my cup of tea. Hes got a fraction of views now compared to HS but hes content with that and thats ok with me. And frankly im burning out of HS as well. And it turns out Blizzard turns out to be even greater monster than Amaz could ever be...
today was the day I realize just how much has changed. Hearthstone-blizzard gaming.. its wild seeing all these older META hearthstone clips. brings me back to some great times with some amazing streamers/players. BEING LEGEND and facing these pros was an amazing feeling. Rarran, these videos are fantastic. Thank you for reminding me while i loved hearthstone.
I almost forgot about Scamaz. He was super entertaining!
Man all these videos about ex HS players bring so many memories. I used to watch them all. Miss them a lot in HS scene.
The seatstory cups where the greatest tournaments I have ever seen. I believe there were 7 or 8 of them. So many amazing moments. Lifecoach Vs Eloise where she topdecks three times in a row to beat him in top 4. SuperJJ vs Gaara where JJ played reno for the first time in tourament play. Also the party feel between games seeing everyone interact and play mario kart. Good times.
Was proud to be a mod for those tournaments. Good times
Man this takes me back to the good old days of Hearthstone. I remember there were so many Hearthstone streamers in 2015-2017. It was crazy! The game seems kind of dead now without that "celebrity streamer" culture.
Amaz playing blindfolded was so much fun.
HS golden era was amazing.
Feels bad for him man, he's been making hearthstone content since basically the start of hearthstone and blizzard just tossed him away like that.
I don’t blame him. I mean everyone knew it at least suspect blizzard somewhat forced him to reveal in that video, but the fact that they wouldn’t even let him talk to them is just ridiculous
I miss Amaz he was so fun and he was one of the reasons why I got into Hearthstone
that's fucking high quality content i love it
Got to meet Amaz at Dreamhack Austin, took a photo with me and my friend with no hesitation and was genuinely a great person.
I'm enjoying these because I was watching a ton of all these guys back in the first couple years of Hearthstone. It was such an interesting scene for quite a while there.
Not gonna lie, I absolutely love the change in direction with the more journalistic approach to hearthstone
When I was playing Hearthstone I remember Amaz was one of the few streams I’d watch. Dude was funny and his personality was great. Kinda miss the days of old when I played HS, started playing when DoctorBoom was released or back when you were able to obtain that Christmas card back within 2015-2016.
Another great video, such a great idea for a series and so sad to see how far Hearthstone has fallen :(
of cause blizzard didn't want to hear him out. They were too busy harassing girls internally
I love watching HS content creators back in my highschool years and amaz videos are one of the most that i look forward to when getting home.
You are crushing this format dude. Keep it up!!! Let's get this to 20k at least!!!
I hope Amaz sees this video. One of the best streamers of HS etc :)
I remember watching some old school hearthstone content of some of the most CRAZY moments in the game in which many of those clips Amaz was just absolutely dominating! He always came up with some crazy out and banked on the RNG (the RNG LOVED Amaz it seems), and he always came out on top! Crazy good and intuitive player!
That was super interesting and informative. Thanks!!
Sick video dude! Great work. I've never heard of Amaz so am thankful I now have all because of you
Amaz really one of the sweetest,realist, funniest persons on the platform. Blizzard a walking L tbh. Fuck blizzard for not giving amaz a chance to talk
Wait Blizzard did a terrible job handling a situation and lost users? Shocking!
Amaz was my favorite hearthstone streamer ever. I enjoyed his games so much. I still remember the fun i had watching him playing Priest, doing combos, either he was pulling them off, or when was failling...
I remeber Amaz getting kicked out of a MTG event for being an asshole to the staff and judges.
You missed the biggest member of Team Archon... my man Clint Stevens! On a serious note good video! I miss the cozy Amaz arena streams.
Love these Vids man I stopped playing HS but was playing since 2014, Please make a video about Day 9 Leaving I feel he has earned one for sure. Thank you
Dude, I've almost forgot about Day9, he was sooo fun to watch in the announcement gameplay streams, would be great to hear about him too
I loved the video, great job! I am a bit astonished, because judging from the title I expected you to talk about the Blitzchung drama. I always thought this was the prime factor that led to Amaz becoming disillusioned with Blizzard, since he comes from Hong Kong. Keep on making these about other Hearthstone legends dude
Really enjoy this type of content my man. Keep em coming
Eloise. Theres a name I haven't seen in a awhile and shes gone ghost mode. Hope shes OK.
Amaz is the GOAT i really miss his arena runs but good for him for sticking it up blizzards arse he said many times how they were treated by them on tournaments like they had to beg for any sponsorships and advertisements of tournaments just sick ! shame on you blizzard but i dont think this company has any shame
thanks for this video. Amaz steam got me really into Hearthstone when i was about to quit the game early
rarran, thanks for the emotional video, i remembered the first streamer i watched is amaz, such as positive soul, would like to see others streamers who left hearthstone ❤️
I still remember the Reynad and Amaz beefs, those were legendary. Amaz making Archon to try to be like TempoStorm was pretty fun
Whenever a big name left a game, the game deteriorates badly, after amaz left hearthstone is eternally on life support
Been loving these documentary videos. Keep up the good work mr fantastic
When I watched the firebat video I recognise that familiar face of that young man with the glasses when firebat won the first WC
Amaz and Trump are the guys I watched the most and made me love HS in the first place
Amaz playing constructed, and Kripp playing arena: Best times in hearthstone
Does anyone know why Ropecoach and Eloise quit?
I have been critical of your content in the past but these series are very great, very good work man, all the best!
amaz was the only hs content creator that made the game look WAY more hype and actionpacked than what it was. he really was a 1 of a kind
I LOVE him, i've been his fan for like... 6 years now? And I dont think I Will ever stop
Do Noxious. He was the best man I loved Randuin
These videos are very interesting especially since i started to play hearthstone since launch but I quit 3 years ago. I fell like hearthstone did a lot of things right even perfect but over the year's they started to monetize aggressively bit by bit. So for someone who played free2play exclusively it didn't make sense to continue.
Hey guys I want to get into an online card game again but don't want it to be hearthstone again, any suggestions?
Hi! I am a very casual Hearthstone player for about 6 years off and on, taking a big break the last 2 years. Why is it that people do not like the game now? I have been playing a bit recently and noticed a lot of different things to the game.
Lots of solitaire gameplay (although it's been seen to somewhat) and poor decisions on Blizzard's part.
I used to love watching Amaz! He has so much energy, and he was LUCKY AF!
Jeoparino was fun to watch too, Trump dominating, the infamous Ben Brode smashing them all moment, Kripp had his water bottle buzzer.
Reminds me of better times
Amaz and Kibler alone back in the earlier days of Hearthstone made some of the best content and unique decks. Amaz more so than Kibler especially made Priest my main go to deck. I loved how you had to fight for control and be creative back then with the class...before it was all about resurrections and stupid OTKs.
yo , this actually makes me sad for amaz. i used to watch him when i was in high school and i genuinely liked the dude. did not deserve his treatment by blizzard one bit. blizzard... do better.
Classic Blizzard, ruining themselves. Soon the Riot and Wizards of the Coast takeover of digital card games will be complete. Thank you for all the entertainment you provided Amaz. To date you still have the best Text-to-speech donations.
this video highlights the golden age of hs. ty for making it
Can you do a video on Czechcloud? He was very popular back then and also won in 2017 Global games Hearthstone tournament.
These are wonderful sir. I know it’s a lot of work and research so I hope you can continue doing this as these figures come up.
Amazing work! Thank you once more
Scamaz! Loved his Hearthstone videos back in Classic Hearthstone and onwards! :D
DAMN i used to watch amaz a lot back in the glory days of HS standard and arenas (7+ years ago). I just started playing BGs a few months ago and was sad that he didnt make HS BG content :(
yo amaz and kripp arena gameplay back in the day was so good
Amaz is very unique player..i wish that he reconsider back to the game
Man I really miss the old Hearthstone. The first clip with the briest legendary got me nostalgic lol
Blizz ghost removing Amaz from basically his own creation even though Blizz had various amounts of worse things happening internally in the company. Ironic
Totally forgot why i loved hearthstone it was mainly for this guy xd Nice to see him still having fun !
I think this is one of the few hearthstone videos that will be evergreen
Thanks Rarran! I wondered what happened to Amaz. Another great history lesson!
Man the Amaz / Clintstevens era was a great time on Twitch
I have like 2k wins on hearthstone, i played that game from 16 to 18 years old, now i am 25, its so sad to see a game that i loved to much doing this on one of my fav streamer of hearthstone, now i am so invested in slay the spire too, i am ascension 20 and its so much fun to plaaay.
I need more roguelike card game single player 😭
Getting paid to chill in a hottub really sounds like peak patriarchic oppression.
love to see your new ideas doing well
Top quality stuff there, well done!
