Hearthstone GvG #1 - Best of 3 (Sips vs. Lewis)

sipserino and louise face off travolta/cage style
thanks to @MegaLakitu for the thumb

[@pinkmullet4]

Lewis is one of those guys in hearthstone. The one you play against and are like "How is this guy only rank 18 with _that_ deck!?"

[@andrewzmorris]

Ranks are mostly an indication of how much time you put into playing constructed. Besides, the best decks for ranking up generally consist of *zero* expensive cards.

[@Skuljor]

Andrew Morris yeah until about rank 10. At which point you start seeing 3-4 legendaries every single game. This game model is called pay to win for a reason. Lewis beat sips because he busted out at least 3 legendaries every game.

[@okdanhe]

***** yes so lewis bought a lot of packs in order to get these legendaries, i dont want to imaging the amount he spend on hearthstone :p oh well, he earns enough and if thats how he enjoys it then i dont rly care.

[@Ghozt51]

Skoljor Not really pay to win. you cant be absolute garbage at the game and buy a thousand packs and automatically get to legendary. Legendaries are well balanced and while they are easily better than basic decks, you will get to about rank 8 and lose unless you actually know what you're doing

[@GlodChip]

***** Some legendarys which found their way in many constructed decks have such a little downside (if any at all) that it is negligible. And the randomness of card packs can be bypassed by buying more which is still pay to win (or what I like to call it in the case of Hearthstone "pay to have fun" since it's definitely more fun to make the silliest decks out of all cards than an efficient/monotonous deck out of some cards).

[@100Peterll]

Lewis' bank account got rekt so hard

[@blakedies]

DO ONE WHERE LEWIS MAKES HIS OWN FAKIN DECK!

[@DrDarkheart]

Man if Sips actually had any decent cards he might be able to beat Mr.Moneybags himself but alas he does not.

[@andrewzmorris]

There are plenty of decks with mostly common or rare cards that are very powerful. Zoo warlock uses basically only common or rares, for example, yet zoolock is one of the most powerful decks in the game. Sips just has bad decks because he doesn't netdeck.

[@DrDarkheart]

Andrew Morris Because as we know Sips is all about playing with a standard style.

[@ads8580]

^Rank 20. Rush decks (apart from select hunters and mech mages) are awful.

[@Duckers_]

Oh Louise, netdecking, Sips should win by default

[@jamesb4986]

Kindly leave the comment section, then the planet.

[@Gakulon]

***** In the order of the comments. Self mutilation in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

[@charliechuckles6494]

***** Thanks for that, cringed for a whole minute after reading.

[@Ty6260]

:P

[@BadPurpleGaming]

If you're playing at a high rank, then it's okay to "netdeck", but since Lewis is utterly terrible, and is not a high rank at all, I agree that he shouldn't, and he's playing against Sips, so that's another reason why he shouldn't.

[@jordanhuddo1195]

Good job Lewis' wallet.

[@Ohmriginal722]

Friggin' Lewis with his Pay2Win netdecking bull

[@JackFroster]

Lewis, really important tip. IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAP, DO IT AT THE START OF YOUR TURN. YOU MIGHT GET SOMETHING THAT CHANGES YOUR PLAY.

[@JCH979]

that was a sad ending ;___; them netdecks m9

[@samwestwood6437]

lewis is living proof that as long as you have a good deck you can win even if you have no clue how to play the game

[@TJPancakes]

Hearthstone is my favorite double dragon series.

[@anincompetentscrub2776]

Team Double Dragon? More like Team Double Mal'Ganis :3

[@the_aslak2547]

lol

[@carronline1]

lewis vs sips at hearthstone is way better than watching lewis play arena

[@pndr]

i love these Hearthstone videos. wow.

[@trillhouse6320]

It's basically decided that sips is the leader after Lewis' netdecking

[@ianfuckyeah]

I'm not keen on Hearthstone or WoW, yet I still watch purely because of you two fools. Great stuff chaps, keep it up.

[@liquidsoap89]

"I don't like internet decks." "This is an internet deck." "I don't like to mulligan." "I just mulliganed everything." Fucking Lewis.

[@phunkyboee]

Players like Lewis ruined the game for me. Maybe 1/10 matches is enjoyable, rest of them are either really bad at the game or have spent 100+ $ on packs and copies decks from top players. Arena could be cool, but the cost (time it takes to get the gold) is ridiculous with all the netdecking/p2w going on. Core of the game is great, but casual gamers like me cannot enjoy it as it is now.

[@Holydave21]

Amen

[@JH-pj8nw]

I'm a casual player and enjoy it quite a bit. Then again I only try to get to rank 20 and I don't care much at all about losses along the way. Hearthstone is my relaxation game so I don't take any of this stuff seriously. Being a tryhard will ruin your gaming experience with some games, I've found. As for the video... I loved it. More of these head to heads would be fun to watch.

[@walker1054]

The thing is that people are always gonna chose the best cards they can, and most of the time that means copying the pros. There should be a ranked mode where you have the same cards as the other player!!

[@MikeMafiaII]

It's a pay to win game, you should've expected this from Blizz.....

[@Sebastian-if9ii]

Well, and then again, there are those who can actually get 5+ wins in their Arena runs, which pretty much makes them pay for themselves again. Get about 300 gold, and you will be able to get about 4-5 Arena runs, if you do fairly well in them. ^^

[@RawBerserker]

I randomly came up against Lewis in a ranked match the other day... he sucked :l

[@ExpertPlasma]

I randomly came across RawBerserker in the comment section today... It sucked :(

[@RawBerserker]

***** Sorry if it came across that way to you. I was just trying to say something that happened lol

[@RawBerserker]

"A bee" It was at rank 13, and he had a similar deck to what I saw in the streams (with the Mechs), but perhaps you're correct

[@RawBerserker]

"A bee" Ahh, but I came up against Xephos. But your point is still valid

[@omarbakioui9114]

***** screenshot or bullshit

[@ButterflyGhostBFG]

Thank you for the longer video, I really enjoyed this :D I'd love to see more

[@payableondeath7]

Fun to see that even the "fun decks vs serious decks" thing carries over from MTG as well.

[@Luciefurrr]

I love Sips and Lewis so much.. They're so great together. My two favorite people in the yogscast other than Hat Films and Turps.

[@lladerat]

Wow... Sips just got owned so hard (by LEWIS?!) i'm afraid this video needs to be flagged as porn. Also looking at this game now you can clearly see that its turned into a classic pay2win shit, wtf blizz.

[@JakeTheNutcase]

I've been waiting so long for this!

[@andreasgolz7636]

that was awesome! next time though let lewis make his own stuff

[@MrJulieniswatching]

Hearthstone is the best keep playing it !!

[@Relyx]

Got to love players like Lewis who have bought their way in to having loads of the good legendaries. Meanwhile I have a Black Knight, Gelbin Mekkatorque, Maexxna, Mimiron's Head and Old Murk Eye. Whoop-de-do.

[@AinProds]

AND THE KING HAS ARISEN! LEWIS KING OF THE TWIN SERPENTS! HAIL LEWIS!

[@CardinalPiggles]

I love making my own random decks, it's the most fun way to play.

[@andrewzmorris]

Only if you find losing way more than you win fun.

[@CardinalPiggles]

Andrew Morris Sure, if it makes you feel better.

[@Dodgyboy43]

lol force lewis to make his own deck and go again this was great but too one-sided

[@loundalice11]

i love your hearthstone videos!

[@Mafalgar]

What a riveting display of skill

[@arnoutvanroosbroeck7233]

Awesome, i love louise versus sipsie!

[@ISPI4]

As someone who watches a lot of Trump and Amaz, I find this simply glorious.

[@CountryMusicMann]

When Sips started laughing when Jaraxxus was summoned, I started laughing too. But when Lewis transformed Jaraxxus into Mal'Ganis I literally facepalmed.

[@realscapegoat592]

Simon playing WoW at the start of the episode on Lewis' friends list

[@CountryMusicMann]

If only Warlocks had the same health buffs as Priests, a Mal'Ganis play would be basically unstoppable. You can tap out as many cards as you want without your health going down, I believe you're immune to fatigue, and, if you had a couple of those bullshit Priest double-the-health-of-an-already-beefy-minion-until-it's-tougher-than-the-Hulk spells, Mal'Ganis would be untouchable. Just get a couple of substantial taunts up in front of him, and that's it. You've won the game. Not the match, but the entire game of Hearthstone.

[@andreasgolz7636]

the biggest tournament in the world has begun

[@Ghoul.of.Babylon]

>sips status : shrekt

[@notthatwaffle]

Buffed your worm, eh Sips? Well, I buffed MY worm just a few minutes ago, hehehehe (In case you're a bit daft, this is innuendo)

[@reyproduction4988]

Two of my legendaries (Cenarius and malorne) from saving up 1600 arcane dust, and hogger i got from disenchanting a golden Nemet hessingwary which i got from a card pack from Arena. I have bought a few classic packs in the past, but nowhere near 40.

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

What is the point your trying to make. You main Druid? Or you regret crafting a bad card such as malorne?

[@Novacification]

Jesus, do one without legendaries. This was just Pay 2 Win.

[@jorgenschroen5440]

You think legendaries win the game? you should try out an all legendary deck and see how many matches you win...

[@zoravar.k7904]

Ikr

[@ehcopperage]

Jorgen Schroen Whether you believe it or not, legendaries decide games far more than any other cards. The only problem is that you need a bit of setup to play them or they're wasted.

[@JH-pj8nw]

It's only game. Why you heff to be mad?

[@vincentcook5375]

Jorgen Schroen playing all legendaries is bad because they dont work well together, playing a few that are right for the deck decide the outcome of the game more oftern than not. that said its not paying that ruins the game its the netdecking and the stupid meta game, when everyones using the same few decks it takes most of the fun out of it

[@Ghozt51]

People here complaining about hearthstone being pay to win are clearly low ranked. Coming from someone who has spent about 5 pounds in total on the game (mostly for arena) and reached rank 8, the game rewards you for having good cards, sure. But about a quarter of legendaries are of any use (not gimmicky or situational) and are often beaten by rares and epics. Sure you can sink a hundred pounds into the game and charge your way through rank 25 - 10. But when you get to that point, you have nothing but people who know what they're doing and have optimized decks, and unless you know what you're doing you will be stuck there. Pay to win would be legendaries being so overpowered you could get to legendary easily. Not beating people with shitty decks. TL;DR : the game is 'pay to win' to a certain point. No one really cares about said point (rank 10) If you want proof, look at the countless 'F2P to legend series' and total biscuit's '30 Legendaries deck'

[@internetpolice1460]

I subscribed because of that magnificent banner.

[@DuckThom]

Hearthstone :D

[@Dadbod007]

Mooooore Hearthstone!!!!!!

[@badgerkins1991]

not enough guilt tripping sips

[@Satherian]

Man, people are really butthurt over Lewis' Legendary cards. Have you considered that he just plays a lot, so he's gotten a ton of cards?

[@nonuvurbeeznus795]

He payed for them.

[@UlrichLeland]

Nonuv Urbeeznus That's Mr Lee to you sir.

[@GlodChip]

No, based on the way he plays I've seen here and there I have not considered the possibility (and probably never will) of him playing a lot and being so good at this game that he managed to get a lot of expensive cards from rewards alone. I'm fairly positive that if you ask him he would admit that he bought a whole bunch of packs.

[@TriptychGaming]

GlodChip Im pretty sure Hannah or someone said he just bought a bunch. Unless im mistaken.

[@Muongoing.97c]

Lewis has so many legendaries!

[@lukarse1]

-_- I wanted to see what was in the cave. More Hearthstone was the last thing I wanted.

[@Thegungus]

I agree but I don't mind Hearthstone. You've gotta play it to like it.

[@jakubinet]

***** NOICE!

[@lukarse1]

***** Someone is in a bad mood. I take it you didn't get your own way and now you're taking it out on random people online.

[@Slembi]

JimJamX "You've gotta play it to like it" I'm the exact opposite, I like watching it but hate playing it ._.

[@PSR4W]

With this amazing KZbin Channel can we try and avoid these types of comments?

[@NumbKrazy]

More hearthstone! !!

[@gabebafia5147]

Now I understand why Lewis was the try hard

[@kingmandius1]

GvG = God Versus God

[@SazzieChan]

I want more Arena Hearthstone! :D

[@stirfried101]

You guys know what's funny? If sips won using the same deck lewis did no one would have cared, but for some reason just because Lewis won people are saying pay to win.

[@NebulousSquirrel]

"I don't like to mulligan at the start" lulwut? Its okay Lewis you forgot, that's fine you don't need to make up an excuse THAT ridiculous XD... Anyway my goodness Sips got destroyed, i wonder what his other decks were

[@teph1256]

no fireballs, no flamestrikes

[@ExpertPlasma]

Golden Lord Jax... Wow Lewis I envy you

[@TheRalouch]

i want the replace the Mal'Ganis summon voice with the way lewis says it

[@corpralcobra420]

yes, this was awesome, and where can I join a pickle eating contest immediately?

[@cheslock]

WIN SIPS, I BELIEVE IN YOU, LEWIS IS A SCRUB.

[@aki0919332]

I find that at rank 15-12 is a pretty good place at the end of a season. Apparently at rank 20 yolo hunters are a thing now

[@sanguine7664]

All sips had in his deck were 25 wisps. Rip in peace cowlord.

[@WhiteRAZOR]

Please record in 60 FPS, since you know how smooth and awesome it plays :)

[@ToastedBuns207]

well payed. *kappa*

[@JackFroster]

I want to mention all of Lewis' misplays but I don't think I have enough time until I die of old age.

[@SearchAshPile]

Clutch plays

[@badgerkins1991]

well payed

[@KatsuSlider]

Sips for the win!

[@Satherian]

I prefer seeing them face each other than random people.

[@platinumboii4365]

YESSSSSSSSSS

[@Warrandpeace]

Little did they know that only 5 years later, sips would have left youtube, they would all have quit hearthstone, and there would be a worldwide pandemic

[@Wrexsoul8]

The tryhard Lewis lol

[@HarrIock]

I just got done watching Lewis RDM Sips twice in TTT now get to watch him p2w-tryharrd-netdeck Sips in hearthstone. You cant buy skill.

[@RyNsWoRLD]

Sips bested by the Mortgage Mal'ganis deck. A sad day indeed.

[@ShadowReaperX07]

About 21 minutes explains this whole video.

[@uncannywall7239]

the best

[@pilchtastic]

I don't know which is worse, their play or the comments section...

[@wildflame1018]

The demonologist deck is literally handlock, and Lewis sucks at playing it >_

[@SolokhinProductions]

No. It's demonlock. Handlock is entirely different. This just has moltens in them for synergy w/ watchers.

[@wildflame1018]

SolokhinProductions I play Handlock, and I'm telling you that deck is identical to my deck except that he runs void callers and mal ganis.

[@SolokhinProductions]

Wildflame101 There you go. Those two cards change the play style entirely. Also this doesn't run twilight drakes, which is essential for handlock.

[@SolokhinProductions]

***** Watchers encourage the user to tap, bringing life down. Low life makes giants cheap.

[@wildflame1018]

SolokhinProductions I think he thought that you were talking about Ancient Watchers not Floating Watchers. Since both are in Warlock decks, it would've been best to specify

[@seekernomanjango]

Do gimmicks vs. gimmicks - Randuin Wrynn is hilarious

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

That's deck is way to expensive and I don't think sips can make it anytime soon

[@kael13]

Should Starcraft 1v1, to decide who's the better gamer!

[@DaGamerSquad15]

I'm deeply offended you didn't use one of your majestic photos as a thumbnail in this episode

[@kiko114kiko114]

lewis is such a try hard!

[@MariusNinjai]

ohh yeahh

[@therandomperson02]

To everyone who thinks this game is pay 2 win: I think not! I've faced many people who have decks with 4-6 legendaries in them, all the Naxx cards, some exclusive card backing for buying something, etc. Then there's me with 5 legendaries, 3 of which are pretty bad, and 1 that's mediocre (Alexstrasza is the only legendary I use) Yet I'm still able to trump (heh, joke) my opponents, even when they have the best decks. Handlock? Ramp Druid? HUNTURD???!!!?!?!!? I've beaten them all before, even with their absurd amounts of legendaries. I've even struggled and beat a Deathwing Priest. Yeah, Deathwing Priest, ever heard of it? No? Okay then..... ._. My point is that it is possible to overcome most pay 2 win players like Lewis. Note that I said most. That's because you could come across Kolento and get blown up by turn 4.

[@therandomperson02]

Also, Lewis is like a novice Hearthstone player on a pro's account, he's just so bad but wins because of all the cards he bought.

[@liquidsoap89]

TheRandomPerson 02 "he's just so bad but wins because of all the cards he bought." So he... Payed to win then? nice contradiction.

[@SpectraVoidborn]

Yea, but legendaries are in most cases not the winning factor, at least not for me. It's the fckn copied decks that are so boring. I usually get like 3 nobrainer rush decks in a row, and then a normal game. I know I am to blame a bit since I'm not that good, and also almost only play gimmicks.

[@donkeykong315]

C'mon Sipsy boyyy

[@fishwithoutwings]

It's so satisfying to put together your own deck with your own ideas for combos and synergy and win games with it, but netdecking doesn't give this satisfaction. It takes more experimenting but that's the fun of the game.

[@kawaiarinokripperino9719]

And it's even more fun winning so that's the good side of netdecking. And there are decks out there that's are insanely fun (casino Mage)

[@DAAlegendTV]

jesus christ those misplays

[@milkco6607]

yay!

I like my deck. Mech priest.

[@jamesvereker4638]

*facepalm*

[@sanguine7664]

Lewis the netdecker

[@sablesoul]

I love how everyone is complaining that Lewis is P2W but I bet if he were to play a Zoo or Hunter deck everyone would say that Zoo / Huntard is stupid. People need to fucking choose one, you cant say a game is P2W and that cheap aggro decks are OP too.

[@brendana5716]
