Quote from BlizzardThe 2017 Hearthstone Championship Tour's second seasonal championship takes players and fans to the bustling metropolis of Shanghai, China. Sixteen players from around the globe have earned their spot in the HCT Spring Championship to compete for their share of the $250,000 prize pool and a seat at the Hearthstone World Championship. Choose Your Champion also returns — pick your favorite competitor and cheer them on throughout the tournament for a chance at in-game rewards! Spring Championship details including the participants, casters, schedule, and more can be found below.
Choose Your Champion
You can once again root for one of the 16 competitors as they compete in the Spring Championship and be rewarded with card packs based on how well they perform!
These champions represent the Americas, Asia-Pacific, China, and Europe, and hope to represent their home region at the Hearthstone World Championship.
Simply click the button below to choose a champion to cheer for — but remember, you cannot change your selection once you have chosen!
Just for participating, you will receive one card pack from Journey to Un’Goro. You will receive one additional card pack from Journey to Un’Goro each time your champion advances — to the quarterfinals, semifinals, or finals. If your champion plays in the finals, for example, you would earn four total packs (including your participation pack). All card packs will be delivered to you in-game the week after the Spring Championship. Voting ends on July 4 at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
Casters
Calling all of the action are the talented casting duos of:
- Dan ‘Frodan’ Chou with Brian Kibler
- Simon ‘Sottle’ Welch with Alexander ‘Raven’ Baguley
- TJ ‘Azumo’ Sanders with Nathan 'ThatsAdmirable' Zamora
Format
The Spring Championship begins with a double elimination group stage, followed by a single elimination playoff bracket. Each group consists of four competitors — one from each region. Each match will be best-of-five using the Conquest format with one class ban, so each player must bring four decks.
Groups were seeded based on Hearthstone Competitive Points, with the top point earner from each region placed in their own group, and the remainder of the group filled in based on the order of the players’ regional seeds.
Schedule
The Spring Championship takes place July 7 to 9, observing the following schedule:
- July 7 at 10:00 a.m. China Standard Time (July 6 at 7:00 p.m. PDT) – Group Stages
- July 8 at 10:00 a.m. China Standard Time (July 7 at 7:00 p.m. PDT) – Group Stages
- July 9 at 10:00 a.m. China Standard Time (July 8 at 7:00 p.m. PDT) – Playoffs
Prize Pool
The $250,000 Spring Championship prize pool will be divided as follows:
Placement Prize (USD) Points 1st $60,000 20 2nd $40,000 15 3rd & 4th $20,000 10 5th – 8th $12,500 8 9th – 16th $7,500 6 Total $250,000 135
Sweet!
oh god, i'm such an idiot. i only voted in this hearthpwn poll for kolento and forgot to officially vote on the battle.net site... fuuuuu :D
I'm happy with my champion Nairea .
He did the best he could even after losing in first game . After all it's RNG who selects the winner every time .
So glad that Rdu got smashed, take that pirate warrior scum!!
Now for the finals!
in Godlento we trust BlessRNG
Voting RDU because Kolento is too mainstream.
*hisptering intensifies*
PUNISHED
Before this event, I always check the players background and match scores. And I took maximum 1 (one) pack
Than I will remind this game build for RNG, and this time I ask my sister who to vote and she select the RDU (because she think he is the handsome one)
Let see how its going to be this time...
I voted Ant, because I've stopped giving a shit.
Make me proud Random number generator
Voted for Kolento, get me the 4 packs Kolento.
I analyzed all the lineups and how they interact with other lineups in their bracket. RDU seems to have the most favored lineup with his aggro decks matching up against a bunch of quest rogues and other anti jade druid decks. My vote goes to him
Thank you, I had come to the same conclusion but hadn't really checked the data too carefully, so it's nice to see someone else confirming this theory.
Voted for RDU, don't let me down eastern-european guy I don't even know!
Voted for Naeira, good luck
kolento is popular but he losed badly in seatstory cup last week, still dont know who to vote for any opinions accepted
Why too many players play Crazed Alchemist on murloc paladin?
Doomsayer
Voted for Trunks cause he came from the future. 4 packs already imma pocket :3
I vote for Citizen Nappa so I can yell "GODDAMMIT NAPPA" when he eventually fails
