Hearthstone: Ein Blogeintrag zu den Spring Championships
An den nächsten drei aufeinanderfolgenden Wochenenden des Junis 2016 werden die Mitarbeiter von Blizzard die Spring Championships von Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft für die Spielregionen Amerika, Europa und Asien/Pazifik veranstalten und dabei dann jeweils die besten acht Spieler aus den entsprechenden Vorrunden um einen Anteil des Preispools in Höhe von 100.000 USD und einen Platz für die Hearthstone World Championships auf der Blizzcon 2016 kämpfen lassen. Passend zu diesen drei anstehenden Turnieren wurde gestern nun ein neuer Blogeintrag auf der Internetseite dieses Kartenspiels veröffentlicht, der einmal genau auflistet, wann diese Championships stattfinden sollen, welche Spieler daran teilnehmen dürfen und wo Zuschauer sich die Events im Livestream anschauen können.
Watch the Hearthstone Spring Championships!
The Hearthstone Championship Tour’s Spring Season will come to an epic conclusion with the crowning of the Spring Champions! Across three consecutive weekends in June, we will host the Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Americas Spring Championships taking place at the Hollywood Riviera Studios in Torrance, California. Each weekend, the eight qualifying players from their respective region’s Preliminary event will be flown in to battle it out and stake their claim as that region’s Spring Champion. The winners will also earn a spot at this year’s Hearthstone World Championship at BlizzCon, and earn a share of each Championship’s $100,000 USD prize pool!
