Hey r/Hearthstone, the official standings have been finalized and Phase 2 is ready to get underway! Incase you missed it, back during the release of the new solo adventure game mode for Kobolds and Catacombs on December 7th, Twitch challenged ALL broadcasters to the $30,000 Dungeon Run Challenge.

After 10 days of intense runs, here were the top scores that qualified through. There was a 13-way tie for 10th place, meaning all 11s qualified for Phase 2!

Phase 1 Scoreboard

9 Attempts	10 Attempts	11 Attempts
Trump	Noblord	Amaz
Freaky	cdw1	Enclase
	Masca	Mef
	Loyan	LanguageHacker
	Tempo_	Crumpled
	Bacco	Balbin
	BloodyFace	BoarControl

		Hafu

		Chakki

Note: Phase 1 scores have no impact on Phase 2 results. Everyone starts with a clean slate!

What happens in Phase 2?

For Phase 2, we will engage in a Sudden Death survival round and have our finalists once again clear the Dungeon Run to obtain the Candle King cardback. This time, however, they get only 1 full run attempt so no account resets or server switches!

There are 9 classes to clear in Dungeon Run and each will count as a separate round. However many attempts they take to clear a class will count as their "score" for that round.

In Sudden-death Survival style, finalists scores will be prioritized by sequence of their scores. This means the later in the runs they fail, the stronger their tiebreaker score will be. The top three 9-round score in chronological order of clear will be declared the winners!

Example Phase 2 score

John starts on a fresh account and decides to start with Warrior. He clears all 9 classes in 7 hours in the following order and gets these results:

Warrior - 1 attempt

Shaman - 1 attempt

Rogue - 1 attempt

Paladin - 1 attempt

Hunter - 2 attempt

Druid - 1 attempt

Warlock - 3 attempts

Mage - 2 attempts

Priest - 1 attempt

Thus, John's tiebreaker will be 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 1.

This means that by the 5th round, if everyone else has failed at least once, he is guaranteed to be the 1st place winner because no one else has survived that long without failure.

If all other competitors tie until the 6th class with just 1 attempt per class, this means John will not land in the top 3.

The top 3 winners will receive:

1st - $15,000

2nd - $10,000

3rd - $5,000

When does it start? How long is the event?

Phase 2 of the Challenge begins at on Friday January 12th, 12:00:00 AM PST and will conclude on Monday January 15th at 11:59PM PST. Any submission after the deadline will be invalid.

Who plans on competing when?

We asked all our 22 finalists to soft-commit to days they plan on competing, whether spread out or in one sitting. Here is a rough estimate on who will be participating on what days:

(use CTRL + F to find your favorite broadcaster)

January 12th	January 13th	January 14th	January 15th

Not sure what this helps with except maybe some more time to think about your next move. Just thought I'd share.

[Missing "Sorry"] I don't know about you, but actually used "Sorry" sincerely when playing.

Posted: 11 Jan 2018 08:34 PM PST

It's happened to us all, guys. You remember the days when you'd rope on accident, having wasted a minute of you and your opponent's real life. A simple turn one End Turn turns into 88 seconds of "WTF is he thinking about?"

But then the "Sorry." came out on the screen. I would hope my opponent would forgive the simple mistake of accidently not ending my turn and then preoccupying myself elsewhere, Alt-tabbing to Reddit or chatting with a roommate.

"Sorry" needs to be brought back. Throw it right in the middle above the other six. It will be (and has been) used for good purposes.

Posted: 12 Jan 2018 07:41 AM PST

The low ranks are overflooded with bots lately. They play mostly with basic cards and have odd names like VRL2383 or something like that. Did anyone else notice?
