The self-ping play was in Ostkaka's semifinal match against Thijs, in a freeze mage mirror. Ostkaka had 10 hp left and was going to take 1 fatigue damage on his next turn, which would bypass his ice block and kill him if he was at 1 hp. Thijs had already used both of his ice lances, so his only damage tools left were fireball, frost bolt, and ping. If Ostkaka stayed at 10 health, Thijs could set him to 1 with fireball + frost bolt and win the game. So he pinged himself knowing that Thijs had no way of dealing exactly 8 damage. It was a genius move that bought him an extra turn, but he ultimately still lost that game.
I guess I'll be the Historian. Ostkaka and Thijs were in a Freeze Mage mirror. Ostkaka had 10 health and was going to take 1 damage next turn due to fatigue. Almost everyone knows Thijs has a Fireball and Frostbolt. Thijs can do 9 damage and let the fatigue kill him after he ends his turn. Ostkaka pings himself down to 9hp, meaning Fireball leaves him down to 3hp, and Frostbolt will pop the block but keep him at 3hp, meaning he survives with 2hp afte fatigue. Ostkaka has Antique Healbot and Alexstrasza in hand.
Everyone's too busy explaining the self ping to notice that whenever Roffle's footage is shown, you can still see a single row of pixels from Rarran's footage at the bottom of the screen.
You know, you should start such experiments with the decks the players used in the 1st match, not have your choice. And then also follow the sequence of deck picks unless there is a different result to what was in the championship. In that case you should be free in you choices for the rest of the experiment.
Why are there more comments complaining about Rarran getting his pronounciation corrected than there are comments correcting it? None of them were even particularly rude, especially since Rarran literally asked "is that how you pronounce it?". He probably doesn't actually care, but you can't drop the question and not expect it to be answered.
Crazy how many they discussed what the outs could've been, why they did what, so many consideration on what to do, instead nowdays we just have "I play this card, that generate this card, that generate me this other card, and then I get this random card and I win yay!"
8:08 terrible order AND actually punished for it, deservedly so. How hard is it to use unstable portal before mindlessly spending six mana, for something you can easily do after casting the spell if necessary.
u used to be able to use ice block to block fatigue not sure about hero power? has u used to be saved from fatigue (did not last long but it was a thing that was able to happen)

cool mode can be skip every turn until 10 mana then play the game out but its like yugioh or whatever where every turn is 2 turns u player your turn then end turn the enemy has to end turn to give it to u again play your turn then the enemy gets to do the same with playing 2 turns can be really cool to see combos and how it will have functioned (maybe even make it so u can play secrets before ending the turn back to the enemy making them "free")
Ah yes let's expect the English content creator to know exactly how to pronounce a name from a language he doesn't speak. Get over yourselves man, Jesus. Anyways, great vid as usual rarran, hope these comments won't get to you too much
@@ajkcool Exactly. I do remember when we had that for a short amount of time... But we do get classic once in a while through Twist.. But that's like 1 time a year, for a few weeks... :(
I'm sorry, but these plays were just not it. Rarran doesn't know how to mulligan, he plays explosive sheep which does nothing instead of frost nova to save him 9 life... 5:44
Have you ever wondered if blizzard scams you by making false claims? Yes, because the definition of scam is this, declaring one thing and doing another, very serious when there is money involved. For example, the cards that say "random" are lying, there are algorithms that decide which cards to choose, for example not ALL the cards with assault but only those that the blizzad itself decides periodically, and among these there are algorithms that favor one of the two players, in this way Blizzard balances the game artificially and favors those who give it money based on who doesn't pay, for example it has created a specific arena for those who never pay using gold, where it only throws in these players together with certain categories such as TH-camrs who buy accounts full of gold to chain draft and make "incredible arena" videos, this thing is even declared and admitted by blizzard itself which thus admits to manipulating everything as it wants and cashing in your dollars in exchange, to millions of dollars, yes you understand, you pay, you get scammed, you get stressed and the only one who laughs in your face... is your beloved blizzard...

The sass and back and forth between Roffle and Rarran still makes some of my favorite content.
Dumb fun fact but did you know that the hearthstone player Ostkaka was swedish? And in swedish the word 'ostkaka' translates to cheese cake!
based, unless swedish cheesecake is a lie.
@@HeatranoveryouSwedish cheesecake is served warm with Berry sauce drizzled over it
People in the comments legit expect you to know a random word in Swedish lmao. Keep up the great vids fellow chaotic enjoyer
We got 5 Mana Dr.Boom nowadays (the 5/5 deathrattle spawn 2 bombs guy)
Rarran doesn't have any coin to flip irl 💀
all minions are stopped by sap xD

I haven’t played hearthstone since 2017 and this was my favorite meta, so this is a banger of a vid for me
Thank god they reverted sorcerer's apprentice to 2 mana with "but not less than one" instead of 4 mana.
ostkaka pinged himself because he was at 7 health and was in fatigue. he dies to fireball plus fatigue so at 6, he cant die there
Wasn't he at 11 and knew the opponent had Pyroblast?
@@DvirPick wasn't he at 30 and knew the enemy had 29 damage Denatrius?
He was at 40 health and already took 20 commander damage
I really enjoy this series.
i wish i could go back in time, not to cause of money,its cause of good old hs
This. i watched the first game and went "wow their decisions actually mattered"
Been loving your content here lately since I found you. Keep up the work even tho we all know you actually hate hearthstone right now lol.
Ostkaka is Swedish for Cheesecake, also not a single syllable was pronounced correctly.
Also you’re gay *plays enter sandman riff*
@@CreeCore94 hurr durr
@@CreeCore94 xDDDDD
How tf was he supposed to know how an obscure swedish word is pronounced get real guys
Shutup dude how would he know
7:55 What a shame, what a missplay, play mad scientis, kill it with fireball, get iceblock and win in the next round.
Ostkaka has to be a swede, right? cuz that means Cheesecake in swedish

Y'all should've flipped a coin for each match, so there was at least a chance of Roffle getting a good deck
I miss the days when Mana Wyrm was good. One of my favorite cards of all time
Ostkaka in swedish means cheesecake which i find so funny
Ostkaka is literally cheese cake
ok
I love when rarran punishes me
Day 243 of waiting for Rarran to play Plants VS Zombies Heroes.
It's kind of a dead (or undead lol) game so I'm not surprised he didn't pick it up, but it'd definitely be fun to see him play it.
Oskaka vs Thijs best match in hs esports
Crazy how many they discussed what the outs could've been, why they did what, so many consideration on what to do, instead nowdays we just have "I play this card, that generate this card, that generate me this other card, and then I get this random card and I win yay!"
Just got a hearthstone commercial on a hearthstone video this is a first after 4 year's of watching hearthstone in general. So yayh !

um 🤓
Day 68 of asking Rarran to play Library of Ruina
why did he ping his face?
Hearthstone was so much more interesting and fun when card generation was limited.
u used to be able to use ice block to block fatigue not sure about hero power? has u used to be saved from fatigue (did not last long but it was a thing that was able to happen)
No it did not.

Lmao ostkaka
Typical Ice block, most unbalanced card ever printed.
I hope we will get Vanilla Hearthstone again, just like we eventually got WoW Vanilla + TBC again.
We did. It was called Classic and it got replaced with Twist because no one played it

Rarran had lethal with frost nova, ice lance fireball and hero power in Game 1, that he didn't notice
Frost nova doesn't freeze face
Im gay
