Canada entered the Hearthstone<\/em> Global Games with most observers predicting they would make a deep run. In their first two performances, they showed exactly why they are a favorite for the nation-based team tournament.<\/p>
Despite being a player down, Canada handily defeated top group contenders Belgium 3-0. That gives Canada the best record in the tournament so far, without having dropped a game across two matches.<\/p>
With Jacob “APXVoiD” Coen travelling during the matchup, TSM’s Julian “Cydonia” Perrault was left to pick up the slack and play two games during the series. The player defeated “Oliech” and Micha\u00ebl “Maverick” Looze with Paladin and Warrior respectively, with teammates Ryan “Purple” Murphy-Root and Dylan “Hotform” Mullins completing the rout.<\/p>
Purple’s Midrange Hunter, one of the only Hunter games to be seen in the tournament in recent days, had a tough match up against the Taunt Warrior of Arneej. A top decked Kill Command allowed Purple to push through the final points of damage in an unfavored matchup.<\/p>
