Crying because I love and miss firebat’s content so much, and hearing his voice is just so nice. Plus, the old guard of hearthstone pro’s is so top tier
I dont mean to be off topic but does someone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me!
+Karan Gandhi WE KNOW what they have in each others hands. they don't. if you have ever played hearthstone you know that missplays are normal if you don't know EXACTLY what your opponent can do.
***** i can get your point.. BUT i cant see how having frost giants that cant be used cause they are frozen is not ironic...they are Ice and they cant attack cause of cold :p
If Reynad duplicated the mad scientist hitting it with a frost bolt, he would have been short on damage killing Rage and ultimately losing. King Reynoodle: summoner of salt.
+reversetriangle omg ur right however i still think rage would have screwed it up rage made quite a few missplays which im not bout to bitch about cuz this match is one of the hardest matches u can have. i prolly would have made missplays way worse than that
+reversetriangle If Reynad had duplicated the mad scientist instead then he wouldn't have had to waste 1x Frostbolt, 2x Ice Lance and 2x Fireball clearing the 2x Duplicated Frost Giants. Reynad would have won the game way before it reached fatigue.
+aosxion But if he did that then he can't ping the 8/1 frost giant, taking 8 more dmg. It's like you guys just theory craft but don't take consideration the effects of what happened, while making another play but still benefiting. GTFO
I know right of he got that off he would've definitely won the game freeze Mage is really good vs a lot of decks but always seems to have a problem with all other Mage decks other then mech Mage of course
@@Hankks never watched a whole lot of HS in its prime, but this is definitely the best game i've ever watched. i rewatch it every few years. very entertaining game
of all the hearthstone players ive been watching reynad amazes me the most :) he keeps coming up with clever plays to get out of sticky situations with his unique way of thinking :D
All Rage needed to do at 12:30 was trade one giant into alex, use coin, play healbot, and echo, giving him 2 more healbots in hand. That would have instantly won him the game. He fucked up pretty hard.
+Keegan Meerholz it actually does get pretty interesting when you are both playing it. You have to figure out a way to deal max damage to your opponent while preventing them from dealing the same damage to you.
Reynad played that so well against a nearly perfect draft from rage but the most important part he missplayed. 7 years old and i was sitting on the edge watching this lol.
Think rage could've NOT attacked with scientist because he kewn that eventually he would hit with a molten. Had to require a lot more micromanagement and counting, but would've eventually set reynad up to above 8 hp
Rage threw the game by not killing antonidas with flame strike the first opportunity. Reynad had the perfect amount of fireballs which is only because he generated that 1 extra fireball the following turn to not killing antonidas. Tough way to lose
Rage just gave him victory with his 2 missplays -- playing all healbots at once, and then leaving archmage for 1 extra turn, while he could kill him with wall of fire + ping.
For people stuck in chicken rank and never played echo giants before. The reason he didn't "echo his healbots" is because he is planning the next move and wants to duplicate the giants. putting more minions on the field means he has a lower chance of duplicating them. Reynad will also take advantage of this by killing the healbots/BGH first for duplicate, as we saw for the reason on not pinging the sheep.
+WhiteCrowization almost correct, but the what gets duplicated is not determined by random but rather by the order of play, so the minion on board that was played first will get duplicated if multiple die :)
+Koffciak because Secrets cannot activate on your turn, so when the player takes fatigue damage 99% of the time it's at the start of their turn as they are forced to draw a card.
that's just a specific case in which it's currently the only secret that can activate on the players turn due to the way it works since it has the requirement of minions in play at the start of the turn to activate on their side of the board. But there was a time where secrets could activate on the player's turn which is what lead to it being changed cause it was excessively broken in certain cases (even more so now, just think of Effigy/Duplicate if it could activate on the players turn it'd be beyond broken).
Is it just me or was Frodan smarter back then? He had some fast pick ups on smart plays like duplicating the mad scientist (which kinda ruined the illusion of the perfect game for me when Reynad didn't do it).
[Spoiler]For me, playing that second loatheb so early was the worst mistake by rage. Saving it for more critical stages of the game maybe could saved him.
+Ivan Tolkachev yeah he made 2 bad plays that lost him the game you called the one and the other imo was at 22:28 he gave free fireballs for no reason at all when he could just flamestrike ping the antonidas....
+Drboomerino Kripperino Ice Barrier is great early, specialy against classes with alot of spells. If he did them later, Raynad could simply ignore his face with his minions and just used spells to deal damage as spells doesn't activate ice barrier.
Yea i believe rage did make a couple missplays with the echos however i think the ultimate missplay was leaving that archamge antonidas up to long. He should have saved poly since he only had 1 for archmage i know thaurrisan is a huge threat but in this math up not so much especially being played that early on. however he couldnt have known what cards were in reynads hand it. so possibly the outcome would have still allowed reynad to generate just as much fireballs. hmm maybe even more so maybe it was correct. idk honestly. i think rage just built his deck a little too clunky he relied a little too much on just giants in his deck
+Steven Ater Lol he made quite a few mistakes, for example, pinging the 2/1 scientist that reynad himself was pinging down. Could've let his opponent waste 2 more mana for it and it was the damage difference between winning and losing.
never thought of calling it rage mage instead of echo thats a cool nam cuz the second u enrage the mage down enough ur fucked lol NVM: im stupid the dudes name is Rage lmao
The funny thing is that rage could've won at the end if he played both moltens instead of one and ping and if reynad still fire-balled face he could've alextrazza'd reynad and hit twice with moltens and won with the 3 dmg from fatigue. but i'm not pro so whatever
+jordan balfour alex would have put him back up to 15, one attack from molten and you go down to 7 which means the second giant would have popped the block leaving reynad with 7 hp and could survive the fatigue.
13:12 the green aura around rage's card missleading him to think he had mana to play echo. casters didnt even noticed.. WTF THANKS BLIZZARD. 18:04 flamestrike & acolyte have green aura while he only has 2 mana. what the hell ? everyone seems to think rage did multiple mistakes but the game was missleading him into it.
This just came up in my feed today, but I fell conpelled to provide an unpopular opinion about this match. It actually epitomizes one of the biggest problems with HS, and gives a clear demonstration of why so many left the game. Explicitly, 1 - it's non-interactive; you can't do anything on enemy turns 2 - you need to psychically figure out exactly what the opponent is running (archetype and specific cards) to an extreme degree 3 - decks types aren't actually diverse; you only get the illusion of diversity 4 - can be slow as hell sometimes 5 - no side deck / Extra deck / Market / etc. I currently play Eternal (which ain't perfect either), but is vastly superior to Hearthstone in those aforementioned, specific ways. Players should be responding and not playing a slow, waiting game based on primarily meta knowledge. Skill should be demonstrated in how one responds.
