Kranich vs. Kolento - Quarter-finals - Hearthstone World Championship 2014

[@AkumaRaion]

it hurts man. our gladiator, kolento, gettin rekt with topdeck... heavy feels

[@timcable8708]

Should've played Loatheb, it was an oversight on his part.

[@rubenlentz7218]

would you mind editing your comment to something like: SPOILER ALERT: "it hurts man. our gladiator, kolento, gettin rekt with topdeck... heavy feels" thanks :)

[@stefanbajic4464]

Tim Cable it wasnt really....how do you predict a hand of 4 cards that cost exactly 10 mana and deal exactly 16 damage....that was retarded and shows why hearthstone will never be taken seriously...at least not as an e-sport >(

[@igreh1337]

kolento topdecked perfect cards few turns in a row before Kranich, he's made a huge mistake by not playing loatheb

[@stefanbajic4464]

igreh1337 perfect cards ? no savage roar, he got 1/2 spider while the korean guy got not 1 but 2 perfect draws in a row, alex then wep. Anyway it just makes my argument stronger...too much rng >(

[@Darwins_Fink]

kranich got lucky, but Kolento misplayed, he should have played Loatheb, Kolento know he was playing the Worgen-deck....

[@SolaceAndBane]

Kolento misplayed. Also, it was not really lucky. He actually should have won a turn or two before. We're looking at Fiery axes, Death's bites, all that weren't even drawn once, so many turns in. So he was Unlucky, IMO.

[@Metallicerciful]

He did not play Loatheb because the fear of Brawl. It would still be castable even with Loatheb.

[@mathiasswaldbach]

Kolentos smile, Priceless

[@m4ng4n]

Kolento still champ in my heart

[@lordpigster]

That ending though...

[@blueye95]

Even tho you play around brawl, Kolentos opponent didnt play brawl for a few turns so the odds of him having it were really low. Not playing Loatheb was a misplay there sicne he gave his opponent that one chance of lethal. The topdeck helped but the odds of that were greater than the brawl.

[@Metallicerciful]

How are the odds of him not having it low? The more turns pass the bigger are the odds he will draw it...

[@altair4123]

Man it hurts....

[@coolow100x]

Is that shwayzee in the background while they interview Kranich??

[@l.ricardosouza6475]

The better player won.

[@igordabski2030]

OFC

[@EAsportsfreak]

no

[@roughnegg6615]

he is now called Notplayingloatheblento

[@Crash56]

Последняя игра была эпической!

[@Tantemify]

Loatheb: "Play me!!! play me!!!"

[@DharMahn_]

+kerafill1116 Loatheb: *cries*

[@realmikekotsch]

Admirable looks so small at 2:41. Makes him even more … admirable.

[@gShinzei]

What is the music?!

[@jeanmarcrandon5708]

great matches !

[@MeinDeinSeinCraft]

Kolento should have played the 2/4 thing next to the shade and argused them both so a weapon wouldnt have been lethal^^

[@technohellscape]

That was an amazing series!

[@lolboya]

that was some epic draw at the end

[@sebbie_gonzo]

Wow! What an end to that final game!!!

[@joedirt2656]

Because of the last kolento game, this one made me happy

[@zyryanov_vyacheslav]

поверить не могу в такой эпический конец, лотхиба надо было ставить

[@SuperLosKarloz]

Such missplay... Loatheb would be the save choice... Still love Kolento! :)

[@Metallicerciful]

Not it would not cause opponent would still be able to play brawl and have a chance of alextrasza staying alive and killing him

[@lourier3]

What are the things in HearthStone you can't do in physical card games?

[@HamStrokers-Ejacula]

They were talking about the Golden card animations. You can't do that with physical cards, the closest you get is holographic foil.

[@lourier3]

FiftyFootMidget Okay, well, the game should be mostly possible then right? The only thing is randomising. But there are ways of doing that too.

[@HamStrokers-Ejacula]

MC_Mac_MC Well, there's also the whole turning cards into other cards and the like.

[@lourier3]

FiftyFootMidget No, that's no problem. A few different examples: Harvest Golem: When it dies you summon a card which isn't in your deck as a normal, so it'll be next to you on the table to grab when you need it. Just like tokens in Magic: The Gathering. Druid of the Claw: You just choose between Charge or +2 health and Taunt, then, just like the other one, you just take the card you picked and play it. Faceless Manipulator: This might be a bit harder since you'll need another copy of the card and especially if you you start filling the board with a specific card. But even this could just be solved by temporarily putting a piece of paper with the name and stats of the cards. But even more professional versions of this could be made.

[@LucasCardoso-pc6nk]

MC_Mac_MC But how would you choose a random beast, like with webspinner, card from all of them with a physical card game?

[@leethomas9549]

Kolento "top decking" BGH was a massive swing in this game, stop the hate.

[@superlouis3333]

Lee Thomas Kranich would definitely have won if it wasn't for that BGH topdeck and still people complain about the weapon topdeck.

[@DL23a]

For which case did Kolento keeps his Loatheb? Next Match? Oo Couldve easy won this last Game when he simply plays Loatheb at ANY point in this game. Sad thing he is out but it's his own fault. Conratulations to Kranich, wo has truly the Heart of the Cards in him. :D

[@luci2797]

he was playing around Brawl

[@DL23a]

Even if he has the brawl he HAVE TO play the Loatheb the turn Alextraza hit the field. This was clearly wrong.

[@lowbearful]

So, you would play around Brawl rather than Worgen combo (which was really obvious from the way Krainich played he had the combo). The fact that Brawl wasn't used in any of the turns leading up to it, made it clear he didn't have it.

[@WoWBeSt4532]

Kolento might have lost the tournement but ask any real player here. Kolento is BEST player ever. That intervieuw with that asian guy btw LOL!!!

[@argalot80]

Коленто ппц, поставил бы Лотхиба и выиграл))

[@shadowmane55]

awwwwwwesome game!!! i got destroyed by that combo warrior last night too lol... i was rooting for kranich cause i like the underdog and cause he's a good player as well. but well played kolento although i really couldnt understand why he held back on loatheb...

[@ericsturm4784]

how did he not play Loatheb :(

[@FreedomOkDa]

Why he did not play Loatheb? due to a brawl?

[@joeychuck35]

Ha, I like this guys winning interview. Good for him.

[@hrwhahaha]

Spoilor alert. Kolento lose. I lost all my hope and dream.

[@somebody3655]

He lost to his over self-confidence. Like he lost the series to Strifecro.

[@realworldish]

DangerGamers DK he lost by not playing Loatheb. If you play Loatheb then Kranich can't play his combo and you win next turn.

[@enomooshiki3634]

DangerGamers DK so did kolento, that's how he got 2 wins and was about to win the last game until kranich got a weapon. When kolento wins its skill and other player wins its because of he got nice top decks? The Whole Fucking game is about getting good draws

[@hrwhahaha]

Ggleplus Soannoying Hey man, I agree on you. Kranish win because he have skill. Just because kolento lose doesn't mean he is lucky. Guess who can out luck all these players and get top 8 in worlds. It is an exciting game. But like every fan boy, I wish kolento can win the worlds

[@scarlettganhym6365]

hrwhahaha

[@weeabooshunter4759]

You should have played loatheb...

[@beverly8795]

It hurts to see how Kolento could have won if he simply played Loatheb. T^T

[@jcrio9014]

Wtf are they doing with a David Clark headset?!!!! That's for pilot!

[@wayneli6417]

Kolento deserved to lose. Run&Gun would've eliminated him if it was not for some stupid connection issue. Also, not playing lotheb is like such an unbelievable missplay

[@z3rocool420]

I love Kolento but he made a mistake. Most players would have played loatheb there even if they didnt know about the crazy combo deck and Kolento knew it was a crazy combo deck!

[@IamMirezNL]

Why didn't he play loatheb =(

[@badoodis]

Kolento really wasnt thinking at all on that last turn, you know what deck he is playing and he played Alex to drop his hp instead of saving it to heal himself.... That Screams that he has lethal some how, and the only way he can deal 16 damage through taunts has to be spells, so obvious Loatheb... Gg

[@omgfro]

Should've Argus'd the larger Shade; a weapon wouldn't have killed it.

[@phuongdo2904]

Kolento can win if he plays Loatheb in last turn but he didnt do it, he lost. Its his own fault !

[@Huchunit]

Heart of the cards

[@andregabrielsten3390]

Not playing Loatheb was a huuuuge misplay

[@vasyavasia514]

коленто всрался 1:24:55 ставил лотхиба и побеждал

[@Sanguine_Rose]

Лотхиб что, чем то обидел Коленту что ли ?

[@TheWavetwister]

"Tough match with Korento"

[@BlackEyedkoala]

Team Kolento !

[@BloodyValkyrieGoodev]

I still love kolento boys

[@mOjoTho]

Sure kranich may have gotten lucky with that top deck. But he had plenty of other cards he could have top decked and gotten the same outcome one, two, three turns earlier. He also would have won a LOT earlier if kolento hadnt top decked the BGH right after he played grommash. Its not really getting lucky if the majority of the remaining card draws can be called lucky, thats when its called building a great deck. Odds are you are going to draw one of them at some point. The salt is real from the RNG haters who ignore the fact kolento top decked a lucky BGH

[@BM24DK]

Fck that top deck...

[@superlouis3333]

Yeah that BGH topdeck was so gross bruh

[@herrgott999]

Kolento missplay? He is human?

[@Peeps86]

the RNG is real

[@wowsnav]

Hearthstone: for all the people who can't handle Magic: The Gathering, or are unemployed manchildren who can't afford it.

[@unintended_user]

Why, Kolento? Why?!...

[@geoffgoldplum1231]

SAP GNIMSH PLS

[@qwerko6463]

To be fair, Kranich is Korean..

[@roidada05]

kolento best player ever

[@windyboy159]

why kolento didn't use Loatheb ???, lol , if Kranich can't use spell next turn he absolutely lose !

[@MDksa123]

man asians taking all the moneys

[@haanswinn]

only time until koreans dominate this game as well i guess...sigh

[@idleeidolon]

OUCH

[@blueye95]

Dat king Krush luck. omg

[@johntejada5491]

hahah demn feels...

[@Diarray]

Зажал карты = всрал игру

[@eliteotaku]

fucking topdeck win :(

[@toompie69]

HOHOHOHOH 4Head

[@ponzimkr3431]

Asian powers hahahahah lucky guy

[@fireflash9016]

Like I said Pistolento sucks so hard Kappa ///

[@Filipe_Russo]

What a fucking stupid deck the charge and worgen. So many dead cards, cant believe kolento lost to this... if that deck is competitive then i dont know what this game is anymore. Think kranich lucked his ass out

[@shadowmane55]

no kolento was dumb... why drop argus instead of loatheb? stupidest thing ever.

[@Filipe_Russo]

against a normal control warrior it would have been fine

[@superlouis3333]

Rustas Russo Kolento is smart, he knew it wasn't regular control warrior and Kranich had the combo in hands.

[@SuperAlfredo333]

Kranich RNG god confirmed

[@andregabrielsten3390]

Not playing Loatheb was a huuuuge misplay
