TIL: Hearthstone – Episode 3 – Theude in the Spotlight

TotallyProtocol - CFDragon06 - Theude (Pronounced: Toi-duh)

Intro

Theude Announcements: Before we really get started with the news I know Theude had a few announcements so Theude hit us with the news.

(Theude Announcements)

was last weekend featuring a lot of great players including Theude's team mate, Neirea, who made a big splash into the spotlight with a next level play. I caught most of the tournament how about you guys? Dragon?

Group A  - Kolento, FaKe, Firebat, Xixo - Kolento and Fake advanced

Group B  - Neirea, Savjz, Hyped, Kibler - Neirea and Savjz advanced. neirea had a crazy play filling Hyped board with welps so he couldn't Alexstraza then backstabbing his own Leroy so Hyped couldn't trade his mad scientist for Ice Block. Hyped however responded with a cone of cold on his mad scientist and the fire blasting to get his ice block. Really great plays by both players.

Semi Finals/Finals - Savjz beats Kolento 4-1 mostly using the Strifecro Druid that Kolento popularized, Neirea beat Fake 4-2, and Finally Savjz beat Neirea 4-2

I recognize a couple names on these lists. Oh look Theude there you are and your team mates Numberguy and Neirea. Team innovation has a strong showing on this list. Talk to us about deck choice for this event, what was the thought process?

(Deck talk)

Does team innovation build decks together? I noticed you and Numberguy both brought the same druid.

(Team deck talk)

(Any follow up question)

There were some really great and well known players that didn't make it through. Who was the biggest surprise that didn't make it for you Dragon?

Wasn’t in the 130: Trump, Reckful
Eliminated in Phase 1: Hafu, Savjz


Thoughts/Player

Deck Wars Season 2 Finals: http://youtube.com/chanmanv
Were on yesterday and that was a long tournament. I think it went upwards of 10 hours. My hats off to Frodan and Chanman for casting for that long. Congratulations to RDU beating Koykuki in the finals. Although I wanted to mention how well Trump and Sjow did. Trump beat Gaara 4-1. Sjow beat Hyped ?-?

Kel Thuzad was really good in RDU's Paladin deck completely shifting games in his favor. Let's revisit this card. At first it seemed like a win more card now to me it seems like it can be a big swing card just like the black Knight can be. What do you think Theude?

Lord of the Arena: Was last weekend. Dragon why don't you tell us about it.

(Arena talk)

Now I didn't actually get to see the tournament yet but I heard there was a lot of drama about the draft. Tell us about the drama and how blown out of proportion it was.

WCA Tournmanet: $200,000 Groups Announced

Show match Kolento Vs RDU: A best of 9 show match was announced today between Kolento and RDU for tomorrow at 1:00 PM PST. $1000 to the winner sponsored by Cooler Master and will be streamed on twitch.tv/coolermastergaming 

Sounds like a fun show match between 2 of the best players in hearthstone. It's cool to see a best of 9 I assume this means they will get to use each class once. What do you think of this match Theude?
