Even the best Hearthstone players sometimes make incredibly embarrassing mistakes. Because he was thinking too long, this pro missed the crucial attack.
Hearthstone is many things, but certainly not a particularly fast game. In alternating turns, both players actually have more than enough time to make their moves, play the right cards, and make decisions. However, especially in professional matches, it often happens that players use their turn time until the very last second. This has now become a downfall for the player glory.
Who is glory? The player glory is currently playing in the “Hearthstone Grandmasters” in the Asia-Pacific region. In two divisions (A and B), the 16 best players of the region compete. Glory is in Division B and is quite successful. Of 14 matches, he has been able to win 9 so far, which currently places him in 2nd place in his division. However, he has practically given away the first place.
What happened? Glory had a match against Pathra, who is currently in last place in Division B by a significant margin. Pathra played with her Warrior, while glory went for a Priest, aiming to play the popular “Divine Will” + “Inner Focus” combination. Although the play was quite clear, glory waited for a long time.
Only when the fuse starts to burn, marking the last seconds of the turn, does he act. In fast forward, he plays the cards to buff his minion, clear away enemy opponents, or silence them. However, there isn’t enough time for the final attack. The timer hits 0 and the powerful 15/9 minion does not attack, although it would have meant lethal damage.
By the way, there will be new rewards for 1000 wins in Hearthstone soon!
What were the consequences of the mistake? This mistake cost glory the victory, as all cards were now exhausted and Pathra was able to win the game. The bottom line is that glory missed the 1st place in his division because of such a “beginner’s mistake”.
Are you also among the players who always let their fuse run until the very end? Or have you already decided on the best move after just a few seconds?
