Thijs vs Warma | 2021 Hearthstone Grandmasters Europe | Final | Season 1 | Week 2

[@Fonta42]

That first game, Warma played so so well, a match where every decision counted. Even with his Y'Shaarj burned he manage to win, what a game.

[@Cyberangel39]

For example, at 10:30 there is absoultely no reason to not go scorpid first. He played Cascading, HP and then started thinking "Hmm, maybe I should play Scorpid". In also think that he wanted to clear Ogre + Tickatus on at 4:50 but recognized that he misplayed it, so he just kept his Siphon Soul but that's just an assumption of me and the casters. I think he still deserved that win because Thijs' Twisting Nether into one 6/6 wasn't good, but I don't think that Warma played well.

[@Cyberangel39]

By the way, the misplay at 10:30 actually mattered because Warma lost value on his Cascading since it only killed 2 out of 3 possible enemy minions. If he played Scorpid first, he could've picked Siphon Soul, siphon one 6/6 and HP. Meaning he still has Cascading which would be better to play later. Warma had also a bunch of ordering issues in game 3. Honestly, I think he is very lucky to go out of that with 3-0 because he had quite a few misplays.

[@howardjennings1166]

Twisting nether was objectivley a bad play. Thaijs knew the remaining cards in warmas deck and one of them was a malicia which would surely get a couple 3/3s. Absolutely should have saved the nether for a board of malicia and a 6/6

[@francisedwards8786]

So nice the EU and APAK casters have some real personality and clearly really good knowledge of the game. Frodan feels like he's casting because he's been around a while, not cause he's any good. Definitely US casters lacking.

[@RedCrusaderArc]

Glad to see that Thijs is still throwing games.

[@MadSnake123]

Men, Thijs went down after that mistake on game 1 ... Warma played great as well ... i have to say, regardless my boy Thijs losing, some of this games have been pretty good, they are fun to watch with so many decisions and so many outcomes. I'm glad there aren't that many "lol RNG" moments.

Bravo warma pour cette magnifique semaine de GM!!bonne chance pour la suite comme pour nos autres francais🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@battafyuwi6760]

So proud of warma. The commentators are so bias toward thij all games but he won the match!

@@snaigel Thijs had the perfect draw in the first match, but he threw it away

[@stratosfire1943]

Oh man Thijs playing way too greedy towards the end. Needed to leverage his health and save that twisting nether regions.

[@CraftyChan]

wasnt greed, he waa scared of dying.

[@akhilsebastian7655]

We can see both hands that's why we see it as greedy

[@CraftyChan]

@@akhilsebastian7655 that doesn't actually explain motive.

[@stratosfire1943]

Even the commentators said he had 20 ish health in a deck with no face burn damage and opponent can only do 9 damage. It's more just the fact is you know there is big stuff you have roughly 14 hp healing in your deck, you can try and get a little more value since your opponent had far less health in healing and he would have to play defensively since he used majority of his hard removal. Just seems greedy when you know the deck has more minions left to just throw out that AOE early.

[@CraftyChan]

@@stratosfire1943 yeah, but the word isn't greed, it was just misplay. Greed would have been taking damage he couldn't afford to take to draw out more minions for a bigger nether. He was actually playing cautiously conservative.

[@kkme7]

Oof, that hurt to watch! Thijs threw game one and couldn't get back on the horse.

[@gauntel2301]

In that first game, Warma should 100% have played that luckysoul hoarder before using the cascading disaster. He had the mana floating anyways.

[@CellarDoor-rt8tt]

My experience as a long time control warlock player (in all its various forms over the years) as well as religiously playing the deck on ladder tells me that the mirror match is determined by Tickatus. Whoever mills the better cards with Tickatus wins

[@simonstalschus2239]

Warma should have picked the Rhino for the fake minion in that last game, leaving him with a healthy 5/5 Neeru making it much harder to clear the board.

Don't know why but I find satisfying to see Thijs got 0-3

Do these commentators actually play HS ? Sometimes i find them pretty cringy with their choices And comments. No offense just curious

[@illahee24]

No, they got hired because they have British accents.

[@SnackmanPanda]

They do stream on twitch and play the decks that GM's make before tournament to test them and they use stats of how well the deck is doing on ladder don't know other than that.

Just look at the views, hs is just struggling big time.

[@Siike_]

This is a replay of a live stream, it usually will have less viewers lol

[@Scooper__]

@@Siike_ yh sure, that's not an excuse for the lack of view. Can't even get 10k viewers compared to what it used to. No one that missed the live stream wants to watch it.

[@Siike_]

@@Scooper__ i mean considering its only been released for 1hr, at a time where its late for EU players, its somewhat reasonable. Yes it may have dropped, but i dont know about 'struggling big time'

[@Scooper__]

@@Siike_ can't be serious, they can barely pull together 20k views in all. On twitch it used to be 100k +. More people watch the events with streamers than the esports. Yeah actually it's not struggling big time, it's dead.

[@Siike_]

@@Scooper__ I mean on youtube you can expect less views on average. Twitch is the superior platform for Livestreams and especially Esports. In a game which is gradually becoming less rng based (as theres less good random/discover cards than the year of the phoenix) its becoming a bit better slowly. Also, their Esports event promotion is lacking as of right now on other social medias. It is how it is, really
