i attended the tespa collegiate championship today. it was pretty cool, and there was a pretty good turnout, although i didn't stick around for the whole thing. finals are going on right now.
the $12 ticket included 2 regular drinks (beer/wine available) and 1 redbull mocktail. redbull had a small setup where they were making hearthstone-themed mocktails. i got a devilsaur delight, which used orange red bull.
there was also a setup upstairs where you could play devs with premade decks. i played a guy named steve who recently joined the dev team from the community management team. he said he was working on the next set but wasn't sure when it would come out
also included with the ticket was a $10 coupon off hearthstone gear at the onsite store. they had stuff like keychains, shirts, hats, mouse mats, beach towels...most of it is available online as well though,
i used my coupon on
this 12-win keychain cause it was $10 at the onsite store so it ended up being free after coupon
it was my first blizzard event and i had a good time. blizzcon has always seemed a little much for me but i'd go to a smaller scale event like this again
