(tweet promptly deleted) #Hearthstone #grandmasters /KoNDLAf8RF If you were wondering what the hell was doing during his match when he misplayed horribly and also was looking somewhere else than his screen most of the time… He was playing another game on another screen. This was further accentuated by the fact that Seiko actually had the nerve to post a tweet defending his actions and actually mentioning that he was playing the Auto Chess qualifiers while competing on stream in the Hearthstone Grand Masters.
HEARTHSTONE AUTO CHESS PROFESSIONAL
The words which reiterated the most said: “Seiko, free advice for you my friend – pay attention to the goddamn game you’re playing, when there might be hundreds of thousands of professional players who would love to be in your position right now – how about that?” Sottle’s words ached of legitimate rage and emotion, and after a while, it seemed that he wasn’t the only one angry with the misplay.

Sottle was quick to notice that Seiko’s attention wasn’t on the game, which made him utter quite some harsh words on stream. Seiko’s misplay drew sharp criticism from the casters Nathan ‘Admirable’ Zamora and Simon ‘Sottle’ Welch. That’s extremely shameful for any esports professional because misplays aren’t very common in the professional arena. Making a misplay that leads you to lose one of the combo pieces doesn’t mean you lost the game – it means you threw the game. Seiko was playing a combo deck in the Hearthstone Grand Masters, and a crucial misplay on his part led to him losing the match to Bozzton.įor the uninitiated, combo decks involve assembling certain pieces (or cards, whatever floats your boat) of the combo before successfully executing it. Multitasking can be fine but can be (and will be) noticed when you fail to perform optimally in both places at once. Apparently, Seiko was playing in the Auto Chess qualifiers for getting a slot at the actual tournament to be held in Shanghai this October. As expected (and was later proved), Seiko was playing Auto Chess on his mobile constantly throughout the match. Throughout the match, Seiko was seen to be multitasking behind the screen, and often peering down at something else. One such event happened during yesterday’s match in the Hearthstone Grand Masters between Seiko and Bozzton during the EU qualifiers. But the relative calm is often destroyed by controversial incidents that put the “future of esports” in jeopardy (or maybe I’m just overexaggerating here). Esports is one of the more competitive aspects of video games, often making the news for their prize pools (not like news anchors can go beyond the numbers anyway).
