Blizzard just made Tyrande available in Southeast Asia through a new promotion. Players who buy a 40 pack bundle will be granted the alternate Priest hero atop. All details can be seen in the screenshot below.

While the above mentioned is exciting, Vicious Syndicate released alarming statistics about Shaman’s dominance on the ladder in their vS Data Reaper Report #35: “27% Overall. Nearly 30% at legend. Nearly 35% at ranks 1-5.”

Further and even more interestingly, “the rise in the number of Shamans this week, however, is not attributed to the Aggro archetype; Mid-Jade and slower Control Shaman builds are becoming more popular.”

If you take a look at the matchup chart, the best counter to this trend are Anyfin Paladin (hello G2 Esports), Dragon Priest and Reno Warlock. Good thing these are my most famous decks at the moment. This spins the article around to the beginning and shows how well-placed the Tyrande Whisperwind promotion is with the perfect meta to put her in play!
