Last week I was super lucky enough to be given 50 Saviors of Uldum packs by Blizzard ANZ to give away to one lucky person. Never one to do things the easy way, I decided to copy the usual ‘like, follow + RT’ strat that these things usually entail on Twitter, but with a twist.
I also requested that competition hopefuls respond with one of my favourite stream promo methods, a good ol’ #SelloutSelfie.
The responses were as magical as you could have expected.
Here are a few of the best entries
Jess absolutely nailed the brief with this entry – there really isn’t a bigger sellout!

My good friend Zeph got a good laugh out of me with this ripper entry:
I am reborn! You’ve awakened a fearsome mummy with this competition! Give me all your packs or you will suffer bad RNG for this entire expansion! Whahaha! #SaviorsofUldum pic.twitter.com/pawujupzWK

Ultimately, though, RNG decided that RAWSHUN would take home the 50 packs.

The winner was so incredibly thankful that it made my cold dead heart swell with happiness.
Congratulations, and thanks to everyone who entered!
PS. You may be wondering why I went with this additional layer when the traditional like and follow competitions generated a lot more entries.
For me, it was all about the engagement. It was fun to see the creative ways people responded, and it struck up a few good conversations.
Oh, and it also instantly ruled out any giveaway bots. If I’m going to boost my followers with a cheeky giveaway, they may as well be actual humans 😉
Neri Approves!
