HEARTHSTONE

GamePros Hearthstone Championship Series 2019 | Offline Qualifier 5

For the fifth time

The Brikke Oave in Brunssum is the place to be for Hearthstone players from the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany and on Saturday, May 18, there was once again an offline Hearthstone tournament planned by GamePros. As always the GamePros crew worked hard to get everything ready for the tournament and prepare for the players arrival.

Tournament progress

Around noon Pascal our head-admin announced the start of the tournament. The players present were checked in to Battlefy and the decks which would be use were entered. Jezt geht los! There was one person with a BYE in the first round, Mcmkiller was the lucky one and didn’t had to play. He could be focussing on the second round where he would be playing against the winner of the match between BarryBatser and Enemis.

This match was eventually won by Enemis with a 2-1 victory. In other matches of the first round we saw jkirek lose to Disciple with 0-2 and SMOrc won from Buymann with a 2-1 victory. The second round of the winners bracket was just as exciting as in all matches a third match had to be played. Eventually Mcmkiller won from Enemis and Disciple won from SMOrc, meaning Mcmkiller had to play against Disciple for the desired first spot in the final of the GamePros Hearthstone Championship Series 2019 | Offline Qualifier 5.

Final

Next to the hype of the tournament it self, the stream was going like a freight train. People were enthusiastic and there was a lot of chatter on our Twitch livestream of the event. The third round of the winners bracket started and both gentleman were extremely focussed, the tension could be felt.
After two excruciating matches it was clear that Disciple would be our first finalist of this edition when he got a 2-0 victory on Mcmkiller.

Meanwhile there were the necessary matches in the losers bracket. SMOrc and jkirek went head on and the victor of this match would play against Mcmkiller for the second seat in the final of this tournament. SMOrc was the stronger opponent and won with a 2-0 victory against jkirek. Next up: Mcmkiller vs SMOrc. Both players knew each other from previous GamePros events and were equal opponents. SMOrc surprised friend and foe by winning with 2-0 from Mcmkiller and went through to the grand final of the GamePros Hearthstone Championship Series 2019 | Offline Qualifier 5.
