2020 has been the worst year.

thought the same thing so searched comments to see if anyone else was as crazy as me

Yeah... .he had lethal with pyro and the frostbolt topdeck right? I mean wtf was he doing....?

Tiones88 The only logical answer is, he ignored the draw and continued as he planned (before his new frostbolt). It is common for usual tcg players to make a mistake like this by thinking too much ahead.

yō Brio I don't think that was the problem this time. He clearly put the kobold out to get frostbolt and pyro to kill him. Probably just the stress of having thousands watch you.

Spurgu Nisti Or because he's a mage player. They all suck and lack reasonable thinking skills.

TragicTopGun50 Much like your generalizing comment. The spell damage thing was anyways a very new thing to hs during that tournament as far as I've heard.

Very obviously too. I don't even play Hearthstone myself, and I cringed when he played coldlight... that seems like a purposeful throw to me, there's no way anyone could be that stupid. Fixed perhaps?

StyleKrong It's easy to sit on the sidelines at home on your computer and judge what you see in these tournaments, but I can only imagine just how nerve wrecking it must be in the spotlight like that. He probably was just too focused on his other pyroblast to actually take notice of what he drew. Reckful is an extremely good player, but this shows that even the best players are just people. It's funny to me how some people (not you specifically) are so quick to jump on the top players mistakes and forget just why they are considered top players to begin with.

IMattee That is true, however, it was quote obvious and I know you can miss the simpliest things in a tournament like this, but its reckful his analytically skills are prety good because he's Jewish, hence why we're all laughing. Also, if you are playing in a tournament, you'd expect people to check lethal every round, very possibility.

TheeFreakiishlyz wow very possibility so checking

StyleKrong Phil Ivey threw away a winning hand, AFTER showdown in world series of poker... Shit happens :P

+Nicolaj Thiim YES! He had exactly 15 damage (because of +1 spell damage) and he didn't went for it. I don't think he did on purpose because you can see how worried he looks in that turn. I had the same reaction lol

+Ricardo Lembo 14 dmg*

+Redworrior z 15, Pyro does 11 and Frostbolt 4

+Ricardo Lembo he probably forgot about the 1+ spell damage because of stress.

***** sure bro xD

***** Yeah, i also do that, i put together a deck and later i don't use the cards that i put in the deck...fucking idiot

He was nervous...U can see it from his expression..and he didnt really think it through...

The Black Reaper Wow what an amazing joke

The Black Reaper JK, druid is the new FOTM. Besides, mage nerf is under way.

:(

True! He has 4 Damage Frostbolt and 10 damage pyroblast, 2 & 8 mana cost respectively. Krip has 14 health! He totally threw the game!

Conscripz **11** and **4**

He didn't spend enough time thinking it through. Just started dropping like a maniac on that turn. It's so funny to think how many times each of us has missed lethal. I played a miracle rogue one time and I was at 8 life. He combos off and throws 8 direct damage at my minions. I was laughing going why is he doing this. He lost next turn. But did he really lose if he had the win...dun dun dun

11:25 is a better timestamp.

legendary comment

bingo

starx88 OMG I saw it too

+starx88 a lot harder than you think XD

He wanted to BM

gurchinanu You assumed wrong so no.

i saw that reck is an idiot

he 100% missed it lol. dont forget he had a 2/2 on board too, he actually had 17 damage

Chairman Meow kripp had taunt so minion couldn't hit face but still missed lethal from spells.

Yea Reckful was aware of this and he said on stream once that he didn't want to go for the lethal so quick into the match because that would show how broken and op his mage deck was at the time, and because of that he didn't want people to think op deck>skill. Hearthstone in the end has a lot to do with rng and cards so idk why he decided to throw that match xD.

Pmz its just a excuse

Pmz Who couldn't just claim that about any mistake they made? How do you know he just isn't saying that to save face?

jacobthelioneater It makes sense to me that he didn't want a cheap win from the most op combo in the game at that time.

Pmz are u kidding me? then why did he chose mage in a first place?

Frostbolt is 3 damage, pyroblast is 10 damage

He had 1+ spell damage card -.-

He didn't notice that for some reason

Wondered that aswell, swag mode obv

Its kinda stressful to be there , so dont judge him , he just didnt pay attention to that +1 spell damage :)

Jay Free Bertetto I mean Krip not good at climbing the ladder but he is still the arena good

*God

@@shoozesnooze5812 and now he's a Battlegrounds sandbagger lol

what time?

A long time ago when the game was in beta

pyroblast 8 mana, cone of cold 3 mana, frost nova 2 mana, blizzard 5 mana, freeze mage was OP as fuck and casters were always fuckin terrible, nothing changed

dude, kripp has a taunt, he could not have won

Iulian Crisan Do you not know how this game works? Taunt does not stop spell damage to the face...

I am also wondering the same thing, i can't understand why Reckful threw the game like that, it was like he was BMing but it totally backfired.

@@cytheriaa he didnt see it

But not now, because pyroblast costs 10 mana

yeah..... gj...

10 + 3 = 13, and there is a taunt on Kripp's board. I don't see the lethal here. Edit: didn't notice the +1 sp, my bad.

in my calculations, it's still lethal :)

yea i was like whaaaat when he used his oracle... reckful realy threw that one

Deals 10 damage, now costs 10 mana, but at that time costed 8.

Raffaele Moroni oh thanks man.I heard all the time pyro from the comentaters and i was like : DAFUQ?

+Amy Zhang he is Romanian :) what name did you expect? John? :P

+nomak lol

+Mike M I was thinking the same.. before he drew that frostbolt they were saying he had enough damage (which he didn't) and then when he drew frostbolt which was lethal they completely ignored it... I feel like the "ladies and gentlemen" guy saw it but didn't say anything to not make him look bad.

reckfull had lethal in-before kripp heal, cuz pyro(11) and ping(1) and kripp was 12. kripp healed for 2 and went 14. he drew frostbolt(3) so 10+3=13 without the spell dmg buff and he thought was missing 1 lethal at that point so he decided to go for a def option. he basically forgot bout the +1 spell dmg that would have turned his 13 dmg into 15

antonellini luca Pyro always did 10 damage, so he had ONE lethal chance that he completely missed, and that was the FB topdeck. The time you are refering at Kripp 12 hp was before he could drop the +sp kobold

Yes it is!

Definitely

its free

because he had 2 ice block wanted to be funny

you are 100% stupid 0% brained

I1am1one he is kinda right ... Reckful totaly misses lethal there... that is a stupid mistake, so Kripp was kinda lucky... but Reckful had lucky frost draw.... it was kinda lucky game right there ....

Michal Ľupták How is that luck lol, Reckful made the mistake there was no luck involved. Don't be stupid and luck will never be a factor all together.

Anthony H "luck will never be a factor" that's just not true

40% deck 40% luck 20% skill don't need a whole lot of skill to play well and win all of the time. need good draws and a good deck to draw from. gg ez.

Welcome to the biggest misplay in this games history. They`re bad players, but they're famous, so they get to go to a tourney.

Young Reckful grew up in poverty. Because of this he couldn't afford school. Therefore he didn't realize that 10(+1) + 3(+1) is 15.

MrJazZ Right that`s why Kripp is offical the Best Diablo 3 player ever, World first 85 in wow and had several otherwirld firsts. and reckful was just the best raider and one of the best PvP pleyers in WoW. sure they made misplays but the game was in closed Beta and noone was at the level of them.

GamertagUnKnOwEn Hearthstone = Diablo 3 and WoW? Ok.

you where saying they are just famos and they are but also proofed a lot of skills in other games. reckful is geting legend every season and kripp got like 13k arena wins and also geting like rank 5 with not netdecking bullshit so he is in fact a pretty good HS player aswell

yes...

Yeah... either he's really cocky or really stupid... or both. I had to rewind that twice because I didn't think he could have miscalculated the +1 spell damage.

He didn't even need the spellpower buff. He had 10+3 without it.. even that as enough :P

CptVendetta well not really, kripp had 14 health

CptVendetta kOBOLD +1 damage sort U_u

yes

i dont understand too

Because that would get Kripp down to 1 health and then Kripp would kill him next turn :)

NastyBuffalo he had +1 spell damage, Pyroblast 11, frostbolt 4 = 15 dmg. maybe he didnt' want to overkill but pyroblast, kill kobolt, frostbolt will do a thing :) or he is just a noob :D :D

Dzimmson Oh yeah that's right, wtf why didnt he kill him ! ;D

***** i know i know :) I was just kidding :) Many times i make the same mistake in hs :) Plus stress is doing its work too :)

Thought the same thing

lapticul Cause overlooking things makes you a moron... God people are dumb.

xynth101088 chill out fanboy. considering the amount of games hes played and that the entire point of the deck was to do lethal damage with spells, it was incredibly dumb

italicpigeon It's called being human. We all make mistakes, it was unfortunate, no need to get insulting kid.

yes it is

yea

Yes he could... but i guess he didnt see it!

Taunt does not help against spells

Dimitris Kanellopoulos He probably did see it, but it wasn't enough damage.

Mark Waal it would be he had additional spell damage buff from geomancer

Alphonse Elric Yes, you are right, I forgot about the spell damage. Guess I would make the same mistake as him x)

TB isnt fom America

They both sounded like they did and chose not to mention it.

But they did notice xD

It is a bit about skill but like everyone who has played 10+ games Hearthstone is skilled enough to do the right decisions.

Pechna OP You need luck as well. You don't get the right cards in time, then you lose.

AnimeHDEvolution You can maximize your chances of drawing useful cards you need by good deckbluinding. Don't get me wrong, every card game has a luck factor in it, but in a game like this, when both players drew most of their deck, the luck-factor just wasn't the defining factor.

There is always a luck factor in TC games, and a single card drawn or played at the right moment could theoretically be a complete game changer, it's what makes it fun, really. MTG is far more complicated, and scenarios like these would've played out differently.

Anderson Girotto True I have a very good deck for my druid i started playing rank I am 6-0 atm. Noob players, but some average, but still there is a time where you need that one card to win or make him go into a corner.

thats what me and 90% of the stream when we were watching this live were wondering

i dont get that either it was a pretty clear win. im surprised the casters didnt lost their minds there

Yeah I was watching the video and I was like OMG HE WON! And than he dropped that stupid murloc and I was like WTF?!

Kripp has a taunt omg..

Taunts don't work against spells, omg..

Iulian Crisan People keep saying about taunt but if you knew anything about the game then you would know spells don't get affected by taunt. Even Reckful admits he fked up. Why are so many idiots like you bringing up the taunt thing lol

wow...now you find out? gz...

No way.

EXACTLY instead of playing stupid fucking coldlight he could have pyroblast then a frostbolt 11+4=15 and the priest had 14 hp... -.- fucking stupid

buna dimineata :)) te-ai trezit..

chiar nu stiam...
