The culmination of the 2016 Hearthstone Championship Tour is nearly upon us!One player will emerge as the 2016 Hearthstone World Champion at BlizzCon and walk away with the quarter-million USD first place prize from the million-dollar prize pool.

The sixteen players that are competing in the World Championship have qualified from one of the Season Championships or Last Call Invitationals and will be representing the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and China. They travelled a long road and faced some of the best players in the world along the way, but now they’ve arrived at the pinnacle of Hearthstone competition. The players have been divided into four groups and will play out the group stage during BlizzCon Opening Week. From there, two players from each group will advance to participate in the single-elimination bracket at BlizzCon.

Yep Greek you are excatly who they are targeting to play....good luck and blizzards thanks you for your money when they new set comes out
mah boy kolento got this
Walruses for Amnesiac!
I vote for Thijs because he was the only one I really heard of before as I know a few other have as well... possibly should have looked into it a bit more first though. Either way, a free pack in the least!
There only was one choice ...
I don't care about eSports so I picked one randomly without even looking. I hope whoever I voted for won't get rekt immediately.
EDIT: So apparently I picked Hotmeowth. Please tell me that's not a mistake.
Hes decent what what I have seen but is just much less known
Give me my packs Thijs! Thijs subs unite haHAA
I am actually missing 2 aracane blasts but no way I was going to get TGT packs so quite happy at up to 6 chances not to have to craft them.
Cool idea. Voted for Thijs cause he's the only streamer for EU I actually know of.
TBH I was expecting to come to this comments section with it in up-roar, just like about every other thing Blizzard do to.
I was half expecting multiples people QQ over it being TGT packs because they are 'rotating out' or some BS just like all the other entitled BS that goes on around here and reddit.
Things like QQ "Standard mode makes my other cards worthless" or QQ "this new one off, one week only - heroic brawl is too expensive for my poor ass as a FTP and I miss out on my 1 WHOLE Fucking pack QQQQ"
I am pleasantly surprised !
BO7? or BO5?
BO7, as usual.
ty :-)
>My face when free packs :)
>My face when free packs means having to correctly predict the future by predicting a winner out of 16 :(
Now THIS is how you get people invested in tournaments! Good job on this one Blizz, you should checkmark this nice move for future ideas. I didn't really care for the wcs this year but now i feel much more invested, and would feel i earned those packs much more if i cheer through all the matches.
The free packs are for all players regardless on what servers are playing? (i.e. EU, US, Asia)
Blizzard should do stuff like this more often. It's a nice way to get the community involved with the tournament.
Even though it's TGT, free packs are still free packs/dust.
Why Blizzard don't do this always! WE WANT FREE STUFF! :)
