The wrong Tavern Brawl was initiated

The Nefarian vs. Ragnaros Tavern brawl rerun was TOO SOON! Blizzard has confirmed that the intended brawl for this week is "Too many portals" and the issue has been fixed.

This weeks brawl turned out to be a mixture of disappointment and confusion.

At 5 PM CEST the doors to the tavern brawl opened and it was seen that Ragnaros and Nefarian had returned. Seeing brawls rerun this quickly was kind of disappointing especially in a time with everyone waiting for the grand tournament and wanting to do something new.

But that is when the confusion started. The battle.net client had a picture for an entirely different brawl uploaded, "Too many portals". A brawl that predictably centered around [card]Unstable Portal[/card]. This left many people confused if it was a mistake and if Blizzard had mistakenly activated the wrong brawl.

Initial communication with Blizzard didn't damper the confusion either with tweets from official twitter channels first saying that everything was alright but then switching to "looking into it". It was finally confirmed by Hearthstone senior producer Yong Woo that the return of the Showdown at Blackrock was indeed a mistake and they have since implemented a fix to switch the brawls.

Blizzard also confirmed that this change of brawls will NOT mean that you can get two packs this week.
