The Hearthstone Global Games - Week 2
The Global Games group stage returns this week! Starting this Tuesday at 10 AM CEST (4 AM EDT), we'll see several new teams competing that didn't get to play last week and some old faces will return as well throughout the 4 days of play.
In the Global Games, 48 countries will face off against each other as teams of four, with each team consisting of their nations top HCT point earner and three members voted on by the community. To check out which players will represent your country you can check out the official website.
The Complete Format for the Global Games
- All three phases will use a best-of-five, class vs. class format with nine unique classes per team.
- Each player on the team will have two classes they are able to play.
- The ninth class will be designated as the “Ace Deck” and may be used for game five instead of previously un-selected decks of the “Ace Player”.

Gather more GLOBAL points and you will be on that list next year. Right now countries with no points or very few aren't there.
Lol @ Croatia, the country that couldn't produce more than one competitor (who was given the right to compete through Tavern Hero if I'm recalling correctly, it was a year ago) for the qualifiers (HCT) last year and now Blizzard won't even acknowledge them and allow them to hold the qualifiers again due to pure embarrassment, producing enough Global points to compete xD it must be something else
7 HCT
The public humiliation of Croatia has begun xD
Go Ukraine!
Some cool games so far :)
The face of every pirate warrior when he tries to do math to figure out whether he has lethal or not.

There were two matches played on friday! The remaining match was today (Austria v New Zealand)

Actually, they also have the Law 3037/2002 about banning any video games at public places. Team of criminals :`)
