Top Tier comment

[@Jukantos]

It also beautifully demonstrated why Hearthstone once you've paid five figures for all the cards has barely any wiggle room for skill outside of knowing / estimating possible random card generation results. Those games couldn't possibly have ended any other way for any player who doesn't make stupid mistakes because the random effects were so OVERWHELMINGLY more important than any skill involved. Edit: Thanks for the upvotes guys. We may laugh at it now, but this is unfortunately a constant trend. Remember when Pavel "Babbling Booked" his flight to the actual world championship title? Heck even in mirror matchups the variance of certain singular cards can now determine entire matches (primarly Hagatha Spell generation and how often Dr Boom rolls his perfect Heropower, mostly Delivery Drone)

[@CDepressionDanny]

Holy crap that last game was quite something.

[@Babachaw]

Viper vs Hunterace's last match was the most insane thing I have EVER watched in Hearthstone. I can usually never stick long to those HS matches but this one kept me cheering. Fucking CHEERING in a hearthstone match with people I little cared about. Madness. I loved it

[@dmarsub]

It was pretty awesome live.

[@stefanbroers8146]

same for me i dont really watch it to much anymore and when i try i cant keep watching but this final series this series was so awesome and vipers last draw was also part of all this insanity!

[@bahrss]

That agressive Alextrasa was so SICK. Clearly, THAT'S what you call a world champion's plaays!

[@ShaadeGaming]

i agree. such a great read which can only be made by odds and calculations and experience of playing hs. Even though i played sht load of hs this play would fear random draws like dire frienzy some sort of tracking or killcommand for lethal. Really good job from Casper

[@yozaqura5186]

That's the difference between a play to win move and a play not to die move.

[@Darkneo7]

Viper still had no hand

[@pikipxx]

yup, thats why he is world champion, he tracked vipers deck, realized what vipers outs are if he does that and calculated that he has high chance to just win game instead of going defensively. I would definitely just heal myself with alex and chill.

[@matteobarca1050]

Yeah, that's a skill move. Lot of lucky for Viper, but Hunterace's victory was deserved in my opinion

[@hiimemily]

Im still thinking what if Viper used Rafaam in the first game.

[@geoanton531]

everyone is and it shall forever remain a mystery

[@allhailderpfestor4839]

@@Definitely_Melnyx I still don't get why he threw 2nd witchwood imp. To me it was kind of obvious that it was explosive trap (because why would you stay in game if you're guaranteed to die next turn+ he was setting up for an AoE) and Hunter was at 1 hp so if he just triggered explosive, play 2nd witchwood imp then he would had lethal that hunter can't really deal with without another topdecking.

[@TheAce12570]

@@allhailderpfestor4839 Because he made a read that it was Misdirection. The expected play for Hunterace there if he had Explosive Trap was to backstab the 4/3 and trade his minion into the 1/1 with divine shield, since that leaves Viper with only 1 health minions on the board, so they all die to Explosive.

[@josephward4918]

@@TheAce12570 That's correct, but even against Misdirection he could have played only the Voidwalker, attacked, and then played the second Witchwood Imp afterwards. That would have given him a slightly worse Misdirection chance, but he would have left a 1/1 Stealth on the board that the opponent couldn't kill except with Fan of Knives, and he would have had lethal the next turn.

[@jonasbugjerde3954]

That last game in the finals is one of the greatest games I've ever seen.

World Champion in the most random card game ever. GG

[@dmarsub]

A less skilled player wouldn't even have made it into those rng situations, or would have needed significantly more luck.

[@TintenHunter]

´´or would have needed significantly more luck.´´ that's not the case with other card games. But Hearthstone should only entertain and not basing on skills. What a shame.

[@dmarsub]

@@TintenHunter that is not really true. Hearthstone has the least random core engine of many games. At it's hearth MTG is way more random, in hearthstone the rng is just way more spectacular. In hearthstone The randomness depends mostly on the metagame and the matchup. (The cards played.) In MTG the randomness is built into the manasystem which can and does end games before they even started. Card games are and have to be fundamentally random but you can design the rng in many different ways. Some are more skilltesting than others, and some are more visible than others.

[@Innersoulwithinme]

Won randomly by guy who has best HTC score this year.

[@TintenHunter]

I think Hearthstone simply uses random mechanics to entertain. and yes its sucks in Mtg to be mana screwd. but you should not be a fun game compared to the one that has really deep mechanics. At yu gi oh you can not have any mana problems and it does not end well with cards with pure random mechanics.

[@evansteele3162]

@@enestayyare192 ok but...Wandering monster rotated out of standard. Of the list of things possible to screw him over, only misdirection would've done it. The other secrets can be played around.

[@CiorbaAnimation]

​@@enestayyare192 Wandering monster is kobolds and catacombs so therefore in wild. He should've played only around misdirection and explosive trap since the others would've won him the game. In case of misdirection if he was going face first it would've been a 66% chance of success (the worst case scenario of the three being the 2 minions colliding) and if he was going into the minion first it would've been a 0% chance of success. In case of explosive trap if he was going into the minion first it would've been a 100% chance of success and by going face it would've been a 0% chance of success. So the wise thing to do is to play around explosive trap since it has the most probability of success and you must've thought that enemy choose explosive trap instead of misdirection against a board filling deck like zoo. Of course you may say that he didn't think about that and I wouldn't have either in that situation, but that's why they're professionals and we aren't, right? They should see this kind of stuff. Unfortunately in hearthstone the player with the most RNG gets far, just a the video before that you see Viper having a lot of luck by getting houndmaster shaw from conjurer's calling

[@nwm7398]

First game of the Grand Finals was sooo bizzare. But Viper didn't missplayed as u may think. Because of Hunterace's misstake, which was atacking Imp with SI7 ( if he backstabed imp it would die to the trap) it looked like Hunterace was setting up for missdirection (maximazing chances of viper's minions killing each other). I can tell that it wasnt some kind of mindgames because of the look on his face (or maybe he is just a great actor but i doubt that ). So Viper thought it was Missdirection and he played those minions to higher the chances of at least one of his minions surviving. I may be wrong but it sounds like a perfect explanation

@@morgantaylor84 Yes it is, there is no luck in chess, it's a perfect information game. Even though computers have allowed players to learn the lines, players will never learn the perfect lines, even computers may never learn the perfect lines. As comparison, Connect 4 is an exponentially easier game for humans to learn, even a solved game, but no human knows all of the perfect lines to Connect 4. People were complaining about computers in the World Chess Championship last year, but since then, Magnus Carlsen has won 3 straight tournaments against Super GMs and is once again by far the best player in the world.

@@kellyeaton7252 There's more skill in Poker than Hearthstone tho since it's just random draws in that game and in hearthstone there are random cards with random outcomes that summon random things with random effects.

[@oldpoppywasop5038]

I would have agreed with you IF Rafaam RNG in the last game had won the series. In the end not only the RNG was better than the average but Hunterace managed to win by getting the most value from his cards, in a non meta deck which included Ancestral Healing and had Hagatha in the last 3 cards of the deck.
