Hearthstone: EU vs CN | 4 mayo - 14 mayo

OMJasonZhou

Jason Zhou has recently won the 2017 Gold Super Premier Spring (which gives him the ticket to the next HCT Champs); he is also the winner of the 2016 Super Premier Summer. Jason was also among the top 4 in the 2016 BlizzCon and did well against North America players in the CN vs. NA back in Jan, 2017. So it’s suffice to say that JasonZhou is a decorated veteran and have ample experience in both domestic and international stages. Jason will have the chance to face Pavel who defeated him in the BlizzCon last year. His quest for revenge will be something that fans will be very interested.

OmegaZero

Omega won the 2016 Super Premier Fall season and that year’s Gold Hearthstone Grand Final. Despite faltered in the group stage of BlizzCon, Omega’s skill hasn’t seen any diminishing. Most of the EU players have said that the CN player that they are most impressed with is Omega.

LovelyChook

A fan favorite in China, LovelyChook has never ceased to bring excitement to the local HS fans. He won the 2015 Gold Hearthstone Final at the age of 17, and defeated Kolento (or “K God” a nickname coined by CN HS fans) in last year’s CN vs. EU to bring home the Ferrari. In the Winter Champs in the Bahamas, LovelyChook also made it into the top 8, but defeated by ShtanUdachi who later became the tournament winner. With Kolento and Shtan both on the EU roster, whether LovelyChook can defend his title and bring home another Ferrari is what fans are intrigued about.

OMXHope

A grass-root player who emerged from the Stone League (an open-to-all grass-root event where players played in local internet café, and gradually progress from city level to provincial to regional then national. I.e.: Detroit → State of Michigan → North East region → All America), and eventually find himself playing on the international stage. 3rd in the 2016 Super Premier Summer; 2nd place in the 2016 Gold Hearthstone Final; one of the top 8 in the 2017 HCT Winter Champs and runner-up in the recent 2017 Super Premier Spring. Hope has proven himself that he has what it takes to become an elite HS player, and he has also stated several times that he really looking forward to win a tournament.

哈姆士郎/ Hamster

Quiet, reserved and very low profile, Hamster has a very unique view to the game and he always play with confidence and determination which won him a lot of support from the community. In last year’s BlizzCon, he is the only player who brought Priest and Paladin decks and made it all the way to the top 8. His catch phrase “make friends” has since become a meme in the HS community. So let’s see if Hamster can make some new “friends” in the 2017 CN vs. EU.

驴鸽/ LvGe

LvGe made into the 2017 HCT Winter Champs by winning the 3rd place in the Gold Hearthstone Grand Final. He did relatively well and was one of the top 8 in the Bahamas. He also played in the CN vs. NA and helped China won the tournament. LvGe has been very consistent since the end of last year, and have played with a lot of top players in the world. Let’s see if he can bring us any surprises in the coming event.

悟空丶特兰克斯/ Trunks

Trunks is a dark horse that has recently emerged from the Super Premier Spring. He is number 1 ranked in the group stage with a record of 6-1. In the Round of 8, he was on top again with 6-2 which left viewers in awe. What Trunks is lacking is that he didn’t have much experience in playing on big stages, so when he advanced into the semi-final, against more experienced opponent, he seems to unable to find his rhythm.

ahqDogggg

Dogggg is a journey man but his best performance thus far is breaking into the top 8 in the Grand Open Series in Chongqing. He won the 3rd place in the 2017 Gold Super Premier Spring. For him, able to play on international stage is definitely a career high for him.

Kolento

Kolento, or K-God, won the China Grand Golden Open Tournament last week. He came to china early to participate in this 2048 man open tournament and scout the chinese meta. After focusing on his stream for so long and not competing in many events it seems Kolento is still ready to play at the highest level. All of the chinese team fears Kolento and calls his K-God.

Orange

Orange has had a long standing hearthstone career being one of the longest sticking players in the GosuGamers top 10 rankings. And recently he's really been killing it. With 1st at SeatStory Cup VI, 2nd WESG Qualifier Event, 2nd WESG Main Event. Earning over 85k in prize-money in the last couple of months. This is a player that can adapt to new meta and is always hot when an expansion drops.

Pavel

2016 Hearthstone World Championship. And already a 1st place title under his belt for 2017 with the Kinguin For Charity event. Pavel is definitely a force to be reckon with.

Rdu

A staple in the tournament scene since 2014. RDU is a player that has lasted the test of time. Taking many 1st places and 2nd places a long the way. 2017 he took 2nd in Zagreb Gaming Arena, falling to SuperJJ. Looking to get his 1st place for this year still as he is a player that has a 1st place at-least once a year since 2014.

ShtanUdachi

First real break out performance was 2017 Hearthstone Winter Championship where Shtan took down Fr0zen in the finals. Many players credit their decks to Shtan and such decks a few expansions back as Tempo Mage, Tempo Warrior are credited to him. He does not seem like he is going to be a one and done kind of player. Shtan is looking to show why his peers respect him so much, and become a staple in the scene.

SuperJJ

Although some of you may have heard that JJ has started playing GWENT with his practice partner Lifecoach, he is still in top form. He recently defeated RDU in the Zagreb Gaming Arena to take 1st place. JJ is a strong player, and credits it all to hard work. At times, he practiced 100 hours a week with his practice companion Lifecoach.

Xixo

Recently, qualified to and took 4th in WESG 2016. Xixo is a player that has always been on top of the tournament scene and done well in majors. He is usually shaping the meta with his decks and optimizing them before other players can. He is often credited for discovering secret paladin in the Archon Team League.
