Hearthstone - Heroes of Warcraft news » Join Us for the Hearthstone Global Games!
The votes are in and your champions have been chosen! Hearthstone fans from around the world have cast their ballots to select the players that’ll be representing their country in the Hearthstone Global Games.
Head on over to the Hearthstone Global Games page to find out who was selected for each of the 48 teams competing for national glory and their share of a prize pool of over $300,000 USD. Be sure to tune in to the official Hearthstone Twitch channel from 10:00 CEST on April 11 when the first matches begin.
The Groups
The Format
Each team is comprised of four members, and will represent one of the 48 eligible countries taking part. These teams will need to bring one deck for each of the nine Hearthstone classes, with two assigned to each member and one reserved as an "Ace Deck".
Matches will be played in a best-of-five format, with the first team to win three games taking victory. Competitors can only play one game per match, and the order in which they battle must be decided before the match begins. However, players will be allowed to choose between either of the two decks assigned to them when it’s time for their game.
Should a match reach game five, the designated "Ace Players" from each team will face off using either their unused deck or the unassigned "Ace Deck".
