Quote from BlizzardIt’s time to crown a World Champion, as well as time for you to choose yourchampion and reap some rewards! 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. Now you can join in on the fun by choosing one of the sixteen competitors to root for, watching as they compete in the Hearthstone World Championship, and receiving in-game rewards for every best-of-seven match they win!

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.

I would vote for amnesiasc, but then I see the decks from hamster, and I can't resist, absolute MADMAN.
Why would they use Gnomish Homing Chickens?
This is quite a cute and smart idea, thanks Blizzard!
I agree. What better way to promote the championship?
Does anyone know who's they're voting for? I only really know Thijs and Pavel a little bit. I haven't heard of most of the other players though.
What champion is top? Pls
anyone voting for thijs is a dumb fanboy
I'm not a fan boy, but I did give him my vote.
Why? Simply because I don't know every single person out there on the list, but I do know that he is pretty solid. We're talking first stage of the competition here, for people like me it's just a safe bet since he's gonna score at least some wins (I hope?).
Thijs has been there on all 3 world championships so far, and won 2 major tournaments this year. Results speak for them selfes.
im rooting for DDahyoNi because i love japan. i dont even care about the packs but i hope he wins this!!!!
His flag icon is South Korea tho lol
lol i thought he was japanese south korea is nice also so i dont mind xD
weeb
are you seriously asking that?
Amnesiac all the way, that kid is going places...and hopefully he drops some free packs on the way.
Just in case someone complaints about packs being from TGT:
Just a random thought i wanted to share, would be cool if they introduced a mimicking/faceless card pack which means it's neutral and you get to select what expansion set it turns into.
Second idea is a party box of cards that can be from any or all expansion sets, when you click it 30 cards (Or whatever number) all explode open at once.
To the topic tho, awesome idea to do this with the Championship adds a extra level of excitement...Are these the same people that came up with the Heroic Brawl and responsible for Arena balance? Am confused.
