There has to be something else going on then. Ublock origins hasn't let an ad through in forever for me. The embedded ads can't be dealt with because they are part of the stream. Your heroes of the swarm stuff aren't. I would remove origins and reinstall it.

lol did that, ads played, when they stopped Rich Hagon showed up for a second and then more ads played. Turned off the HTML5 player and added something to my filters, let's see if that fixes it.

Pozzo's deck was just garbage. He had to just play that rather than do nothing and wait to die.

yea he clearly had nothing else to cast, and juza is even more likely to have countermagic if you let him spend the turn digging

The person who operates the stream has complete control over ads. I assume they either have to run a certain number of them to be promoted on twitch per an agreement or they really are hard up for for the few hundred bucks the ads are going to give them over the weekend.

WotC has a special partnership with Twitch so if they're running ads that's probably in the agreement.

Because the production crew of WOTC is not a professional one. At this point I assume its just something some employees are just tasked to do instead of being at the office doing whatever else they do.

No big deal, its just the promotion of your main product.

Actually they're unionized and are precisely professionals. You can argue the output doesn't look like it's done prefessionally and I'd largely agree, though.

Anyways I usually watch on twitchls.com and about a month or so my adblock stopped being able to bypass the ads too. I don't know how many times I've heard the silicon valley season 4 one by now. Dozens.

It looks professional, it just looks like it's lighting for a play or something instead of a children's card game tournament.

I liked the draft review segment hosted by LSV with Ben Friedman, where they showed the full packs for his first three picks and then switched to a sort of deck building type layout where they showed the curve of his deck and added his picks that made his deck into the main layout (kinda like an MTGO-ish layout). I don't think I've seen them do that before at a PT and it did a much better job of giving a full overview of what his deck looked like.

I hate mixed-format PTs. I always show up really prepared for the slow dance but I'm just totally clueless in draft.

It's an improvement over the one pro tour that had a huge light shining on the cards so that you couldn't even tell what they were.
