So I watched over an hour of this between two different streams and never saw a single match of Hearthstone get played. Are all Chinese events this terribly organized? Kripp is pretty good at the interviews, but what the fuck?

Handlock seems to do really well on the ladder right now. I end up on win streaks till I run into Hunter and they get nothing but fucking Huffer from Animal companion and always have Hunters Mark.
Fuck, I did some arena for a bit and they guy cast 5 straight Animal Companion, 4 Huffers and Misha. GTFO

Yeah this chinese event has been scheduled/ managed terribly, especially for being the biggest hearthstone tournament yet. Between the constant internet problems, old equipment, schedule problems, and odd format its been pretty terrible aside from kripp being an entertaining caster/interviewer. Hopefully it improves as they cut down the competition but yeah china sucks.
Why is it being streamed through Kripp's channel? Is he managing all the casting himself for this huge event? He seemed sort of overwhelmed this morning at the end of the stream.
All those foreign players were invited/arranged by Kripp. Originally China was going to have an only Chinese event, which obviously wouldn't get the same viewership/interest. Part of Kripp's condition was that he could stream it on his channel (which is huge for him in terms of followers/potential subs/views/etc.) He talked about it on his stream a few days before when he explained why he was going to be gone and there wouldn't be a stream.
Even the GSL sometimes has issues with Artosis and Tastless not having the best set up and the GSL has huge respect for them as a casting team. I imagine the Chinese, who are running a huge event with multiple games, are letting stuff fall through the cracks for Kripp. Add in translation/communication issues, the issues live events always have, spotty internet, jet lag, etc., and here we are.

Murlocs are civilization.
Pretty hilarious games too when you end up matched against another Murloc deck, since you end up buffing each others minions.

Which murloc deck did you end up settling on? #3? #8?The Murloc testing is going well.
I figured 20 games a deck was a decent enough sample size to figure out if a certain variation of Murloc would stand out. That was deck #4. Here's the results so far and only Murloc Deck #2 turned out to be a real pile of shit.
This is something that just happened recently btw within the last year, and a half. Kripp used to give no fucks about any of that shit. I assume it's because he's an actual human relationship now, and he realizes what women covet more then anything, and it isn't your cock.

Kripp was also getting completely ignored by the Hearthstone community after Fight Night ended when it came to things like casting. HE's just not a very professional human being even though he can be entertaining. That's why imo Frodan gets basically every single casting job.
I think Frodan is the best person casting Hearthstone stuff right now, and I don't think it's even close.
