?Finnish Hearthstone player Janne "Savjz" Mikkonen walked out $100 richer after a 4-2'ing apDrop in the finals of the Angry Chicken Invitational.
Broadcast on February 8th, the Angry Chicken Invitational gathered four of the best players on the Hearthstone scene: Savjz, Koyuki, apDrop and Kisstafer. The four player a short, Bo7 single elimination bracket for the first place prize of $100.
Known for his high placements on the constructed ladder and one of the best deckbuilders in the game, Savjz came into the tournament as the favorite and his semi-final match against Koyuki only confirmed that. Savjz rode his Rogue to beat the American 4-0, defeating his Druid, Warrior, Paladin and Warlock to move on to the grand final.
apDrop was already waiting for Savjz in the grand final and the two played a six-game series before the winner was decided. Games went set for set until Savjz's Druid scored two in a row to crown him champion, winning the last game against apDrop's control Warlock which produced three Molten Giants in a single turn.
The full rebroadcast, the bracket and the decklists can be seen below. Bear in mind the tournament was played before patch 4458, meaning cards like [card]Sylvanas Windrunner[/card], [card]Novice Engineer[/card], [card]Charge[/card] and [card]Dark Iron Dwarf[/card] have different texts than their current versions.
