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?
