Posted Oct 23, 2015 (Warsong Nerf)I can't remember exactly where I read it, but every player has to bring their own cards to a tournament. So yes, when a European player goes to his first tournament in America he will have to buy packs to get every card he needs.
A while ago, Amaz even had a stream where he was buying hundreds of packs because he was participating in a tournament on the EU server.

Posted Oct 23, 2015 (Warsong Nerf)I think it's cool that both Europe and Asia-Pacific are represented by players of four different nationalities each. It shows that Hearthstone is popular across many countries.

Posted Oct 23, 2015 (Warsong Nerf)Now Last Hero Standing for the invitational, but as far as I know, World Championship will not use this format but rather the opposite (if you win a game with a class, you can't use that class anymore).
Anyone has a confirmation?

Posted Oct 23, 2015 (Warsong Nerf)This is more of a question than a comment as I'm curious.
As Hearthstone is region based. There are 16 players from different regions. Do all these players play on a North America server? Or they just play on multi regions and are able to bring Tier 1 decks to tournaments. Or are tournament specials and regions do not matter?
