Poll Which kind of tournament would you cool participating in? (select all that apply) (17 votes)
Whats good everyone?
I feel like I kind of dropped the ball on this, but is anyone interested in participating in another community tournament? I think I've recovered enough from the last one that would feel comfortable running it. It was right around the time the finals of the last tournament (featuring an EPIC finals between myself and @starvinggamer which you can watch here) that I found out my wife and I were expecting our first child - so I've been pretty out of the loop with Hearthstone while taking care of all that. GvG has gotten me back in the swing of things, and feel I learned a ton running that last one. I'm pretty confident this one won't run over a month longer than anticipated.
I got a ton of great feedback after the last tournament. We ran using the conventional King of the Hill format which was being used in most high level tournaments at the time. It was using an unrestricted pool of cards. It wasn't a great way to build our little community with newer players, and felt like some participants were discouraged from the get go.
For this tournament, lets get weird.
By chiming in, you're not committing to anything, but am using the numbers we get back to gauge general interest in this thing. Here is a quick blurb about each of the choices, please let me know if you have any questions.
Hit it and Quit It- Awful name, but there were some grumblings last tournament about decks being locked. I get it, deck slots are valuable and if you want to disenchant cards for better cards, being locked out of touching your collection sucked. I can do a quick YT video if anyone needs, but the premise is you create a new deck, select your class, and click "done". The game creates your deck for you. You cannot modify it. You may get the dumbest deck with an awful curve, but you're not tied to it and create a new deck at the start of every round.
Arena Style - You're all familiar with arena, yes? You're given the choice of three cards and pick one. With an arena style tournament, you go to create a deck, select your class, but click "suggest a card" and choose one of the three options you're given. Repeat 29 times and that's your deck. These decks also would only be good for one round, so your cards aren't locked and and you're not taking up a deck slot.
Limited Card Pool (no legendary/epics) - By far the most common suggestion last tournament, but this entails removing all epics and legendary cards from the pool of available cards.
Limited Card Pool (just commons/class cards) - Taking the above notion a step further, we'd limit the pool to common cards and class cards.
If you have any other awesome ideas, I'd love to hear them.
I want to add something that cropped up last time to take into consideration before you vote. I don't care about in game BM. It's harmless fun. Last tournament I received multiple reports about from multiple participants about others behaving like pretentious assholes through BNet chat. There is no place for that, and I'm not apologizing for others actions anymore. If I get multiple reports again this time, I'm just yanking you from the brackets, no questions asked. If you don't think you not be horrible, please don't vote. That's all, thank you!
