Congratulations to the winner, the runners-up, and the organizers on the completion of the tournament. See you next time! :smile23:

I would also like to congratulate Yelen on his well-deserved second place! Before the tournament, no one expected such a result. And congratulations to Tyozka on his third place – he showed his old skills! Falcone and Reddy also made it to the ITM! And of course, congratulations to Vanya on his first place, it's your time, buddy! You were very close in Yekaterinburg, but it didn't work out then, and it finally happened after 5 years!

Thank you for the brief coverage of the CIS region; it was interesting. Special thanks for the funny comments and jokes during the live broadcast :D Vanya undoubtedly deserved this victory :smile54: :smile49:

Great job to everyone who participated!
FTS, congratulations on a well-deserved 1st place!
Special thanks to Merlin for the jokes, stories, and anecdotes during the live stream :D

Alex is once again the best organizer!

Well done!!!

Congratulations to Ivan on the victory! Thank you all for participating and covering the event!

Merlin won. :) If it weren't for his comments, it wouldn't be clear that they were streaming the final. :)

IMO, for such a grand title, the tournament is too short, which significantly lowers its level (because it increases randomness - sorry, but how can someone reach the final and then run around the swamp with a penalty for so long?). Skill is not appreciated these days.
I think it would be better to play 8 games (15 is a bit too much for a round-robin system) and choose the champion from those. We even held such a tournament locally. And, of course, the TE version gives skill a better chance.
P.S. I've been following helllight for a long time (gg). He would be in the top ranks with a proper system.

Well, excuse me, how does someone make it to the finals!!! running around the swamp for a long time with a penalty).

If you're talking about me (and I think you are), then I'm curious what you mean - I only ran around the swamp to build up enough skeletons to take the Griffin Conservatory of the third tier.

As part of the CIS Championship, a mini-tournament for Hearthstone was held. The tournament was casual and followed the rules of the anniversary brawl. The games (especially the final) were very interesting. Skill (or luck) prevailed, and twaryna emerged as the winner:smile49:

Tournament bracket

I think it would be possible to play 8 games (15 might be too many, especially for a round-robin system) and choose a champion from them.

Let's organize such a tournament – 8 game days in a row, I'm curious how many people you'll gather.
