It’s very difficult to judge who should be getting a reward and ofc blizzard will always think in a business perspective so for them it’s like juggling between keeping players happy and not giving away too much free stuff.
But lets say i started brawliseum and lost 3 games in a row but didn’t get me reward, but now i get 300 gold as compensation (is a very good compensation in this particular case). But lets say i won 12 games of brawliseum… now getting 300 gold feels just like a mediocre reward.

As usual i logged in at 8:00 pm (CET) to play the new tavern brawl and i couldn’t even start a brawliseum run. Now people who were able to start a run get 300 gold (even for not winning a single game) and people who weren’t able to push the button get nothing? …at least that’s how i understood.
If that’s the case this seems pretty unfair to me tbh.
