Just two days ago, Blizzard has announced a brand new game mode – Twist. It’s a rotating format where deck-building rules and restrictions will change regularly (possibly even monthly). I won’t get into all the details, you can learn more about it from the official announcement.
Or, alternatively, you can just check it out live on Twitch today. Many content creators were invited to participate in the Twist Preview. The event is similar to pre-expansion theorycrafting ones – a group of invited players gets to build their own decks in the new format and face each other.
The event starts today at 9 AM PT (18:00 CET) and lasts for about 24 hours (keep in mind that players from different regions will start at different times). As for how long exactly will each streamer play, it’s up to them, but most of them try to use most of their allocated time.
Card packs from Twitch drops are always a part of those events, but this one is pretty special. Instead of the usual few packs, Blizzard is giving away nine of them – one for each expansion available in the Twist’s launch “New Age” format (from Ashes of Outlands until Festival of Legends). Drops will be active across the whole Hearthstone category – watch any stream for 1 hour to get 3 packs, another hour for 3 more and finally the third hour for the final 3 packs. In total, you need to 3 hours of watch time for 9 packs. Twitch drops will be active for 24 hours after the event’s launch.
By the way, since Old Guardian is participating in the event, he’ll give you a first-hand report of how it went! The article should be live tomorrow.
