DreadEye’s journey to the top

To reach the top, DreadEye claimed victory against opponents Muzahidul “Muzzy” Islam, Kyle “McBanterFace” Spigelman and Luna “lunaloveee” Eason during the live broadcast.

In the finals for the American region, DreadEye first faced lunaloveee’s Handlock deck in a mirror match. Both players raced to complete their Warlock questline, while cycling through their decks. DreadEye achieved lethal after playing two Unstable Shadow Blast spells, which each dealt six damage to a minion and made the excess damage go face.

Next, DreadEye brought his Weapon Rogue to fight against lunaloveee’s Quest Shaman. DreadEye wasn’t able to draw a weapon in the early game, which let lunaloveee press the advantage, build up her side of the board and deal consistent and eventual lethal damage to the face.

Lunaloveee tied the score 2-2 using their Fel Demon Hunter game versus DreadEye’s Brute Demon Hunter game afterwards, but it wasn’t enough and DreadEye won the match point using their Demon Hunter deck against Warlock. DreadEye got through his opponent’s taunt minion and went face for lethal.
