The HCT Spring Championship Lands in Shanghai this July!
The year started off in the Bahamas and now the Hearthstone Championship Tour is heading to the other side of the world! Hearthstone's best will be competing in Shanghai, China this July!
Quote from BlizzardAfter our island getaway in the Bahamas for the Winter Championship, the Hearthstone Championship Tour (HCT) is headed to the big city for the Spring Championship. We're trading palm trees and blue waters for a bustling metropolis and shimmering skyline.
That's right — HCT Spring will come to a legendary conclusion against the brilliant backdrop of Shanghai.
Where
The Spring Championship will take place in the Silver Hall of the Expo Center in Shanghai, China. More information regarding how to attend, including ticketing details, is coming soon!When
The Spring Championship runs from Friday, July 7 through Sunday, July 9, 2017 (in China Standard Time). Group stage matches will take place on Friday and Saturday, and Sunday will focus on the playoff bracket.Qualification and Format
The top four players from each region's Spring Playoff will qualify for a spot in the Spring Championship. In Shanghai, those 16 players will battle in a dual tournament group stage, and the top two players from each group advance to the single-elimination playoff bracket. Additional formation information is available in the Spring details update, and further HCT information can be found in the Official Rules.Prize Pool
The total prize pool for the Spring Championship is $250,000 USD.

Posted May 11, 2017 (Un'Goro Launch)Id actually get a ticket from Estonia to Sweden if it was held in sweden. Other countrys dont seem that tempting. I mean, finland is fine but not that easy to access.
