Wait what? Season ONE? Did they delay it 1 years or 3 years? I remember watching season 1 in 2018. Did they change the name of the circuit or something and this is a new rebooted masters?
I don't even remember the contestants from way back then in 2018, is that why life coach is coming back, was he a finalist? There isn't even a single card in the game that's the same as back then. Seems really strange to pick up now after so long.
Sorry I don't follow the Gwent esports as much as I used to, so this is definitely confusing me.
Me, im the opposite, regarding esports - i've been playing Gwent since October '16, the beginning of closed beta, but i didnt pay attention to esports during the betas, only after HC.
I said this event was delayed over a year because it was scheduled for early last year, then the COVID hit and this live event got delayed, while season 2 Opens and Masters happened online throughout the year.
But you're right, i think the opens and qualifiers for Master #1 were in 2018, some of them still in beta i think, and continued in 2019. And i agree its silly to have this event now when the game has changed so much since then, but i guess its better than being cancelled, and the contestants still deserve a chance to win the big prizepool, even though some will have to relearn the game, maybe they wont even like it (i still prefer the beta).
