Am heutigen Sonntag, den 28. April 2019 haben die für die eSports-Szene von Hearthstone zuständigen Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment die Finalrunden der HCT 2019 World Championships veranstaltet und dabei dann die beiden erfahrenen Top-Spieler Casper „Hunterace“ Notto und Torben „Viper“ Wahl um den Titel des diesjährigen Weltmeisters und ihren Anteil des Preispools in Höhe von $1,000,000 kämpfen lassen. Nach mehreren spektakulären Runden und einem wirklich unterhaltsamen finalen Match konnte sich der aus Norwegen stammende Spieler Casper „Hunterace“ Notto heute Nachmittag gegen seinen deutschen Kontrahenten durchsetzen und sich dadurch dann den Titel des Hearthstone World Champions, die offizielle Trophäe von Blizzard Entertainment und das für diesen Rang bestimmte Preisgeld sichern. An dieser Stelle möchte ich Casper „Hunterace“ Notto jetzt gerne zu dieser wirklich beeindruckend Leistung gratulieren. Wer gerne mehr über den Sieg dieses Top-Spielers erfahren möchte, der findet folgend die von Hunterace verwendeten Decks, den auf Twitch ausgestrahlten Mitschnitt der Finalrunden und die offizielle Ankündigung der Verantwortlichen.   Die Decks von Hunterace: Hunterace’s Khadgar Mage Hunterace’s Tempo Rogue Hunterace’s Shudderwock Shaman Hunterace’s Bomb Warrior     Der Mitschnitt: 2019 HCT World Championship Day 4 - Bunnyhopper vs. Languagehacker von PlayHearthstone auf www.twitch.tv ansehen     A New Hearthstone World Champion Is Crowned in Taipei The final series of the HCT 2019 World Championship between Casper „Hunterace“ Notto and Torben „Viper“ Wahl will go down as one of the most electrifying matches in Hearthstone history. From a 1-Health runback opener to game-defining aggressive Alexstrasza play to an absolutely nutty march of Legendary minions curtesy of Arch-Thief Rafaam that saw not one but two Azalina Soulthiefs played—we could not have asked for a better way to send off the Hearthstone Championship Tour. The series was as close as could be, but it was Hunterace who lifted the trophy at the end of it all. “It was pretty insane,” said Hunterace, “My heart rate was very high. I haven’t played any of those games in practice!” On stage, Hunterace was animated in the sense that he clearly was agonizing over each and every decision, sequence, and position. “I’m very emotional and I care a lot about how I’m playing and how the games turn out, so I get pretty stressed out—especially when the stakes are that high. It’s basically what I’ve been working for this entire year and getting to this point and achieving what I’ve achieved now is so big to me.” With the Hearthstone World Championship trophy in tow—not to mention a cool quarter-million dollars—Hunterace was quick to thank those who helped him to this point. “Obviously, I want to thank my parents because they have been so supportive of me pursuing this passion of mine even though it hasn’t been an easy road to get where I am right now,” he said. “At the same time, I really want to give a big thank-you to the entire Hearthstone community. A long time ago I had a lot of struggles with other things in life and the Hearthstone community was kind of what put me back on track and gave me motivation. It’s really just been the passion I have for Hearthstone that’s been driving me.” While the Hearthstone Championship Tour has come to an end, the next chapter of Hearthstone esports is just around the corner. Hearthstone Grandmasters will begin on May 17 and will feature both Hunterace and Viper along with 46 other world-class Hearthstone competitors.
