A new Hearthstone tournament has been announced by Blizzard and is set to take place on August 25. The tournament itself was announced as a showmatch tournament with some of the biggest personalities surrounding the game being involved and competing.
In total there’ll be 20 players competing for the $100.000 prize pool, all being divided into teams of 2 players for a total of 10 teams. Every single player will play in four rounds, where they’ll compete in best-of-three matches. The tournament will also have a unique scoring format and is of course set to promote the Scholomance Academy expansion.
