Global Games Cheering on Twitch is Live! Cheer for Teams, Get Packs and a Card Back
The Hearthstone Global Games Cheer that was announced last week has gone live on Twitch.
- You'll earn a card back for cheering on the teams.
- Card packs will be given out based on how much you cheer.
- Twitch Emotes can be unlocked through cheering as well.
More details can be found below. Remember that cheering for a team gives the players on that team a portion of the bits cheered (equal to the cut Blizzard receives). Any of the following teams can be cheered for.
Brazil, Singapore, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Bulgaria, China, Chile, Chinese Taipei, Spain, Switzerland, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, Hong Kong, Portugal, and the United States are included.
You can cheer at Twitch.tv/PlayHearthstone
Community Rewards
These are rewards given out to everyone who cheers a minimum amount of bits.
Reward | Unlocked at Total | Requires |
---|---|---|
2 Boomsday Packs | 8,000,000 Bits | 700 Bits |
Unknown (Sep 25) | Unknown | Unknown |

Personal Rewards
There are ten different tiers of personal rewards. Some things are for Hearthstone itself while others are for use on Twitch. The card back is the final personal reward and it will require 2500 bits to unlock.
If you want the card back without buying any additional bits, the best way to do it is by purchasing one package of 1500 bits ($20 USD) and two packages of 500 ($7 USD) for a total of 2500 bits that costs $34. If you don't mind a few extra bits though, you do get more value by purchasing the 1500 bits package twice (it is $6 more) and you get another 500 bits to throw at a streamer.
The card back is not yet in the game client which means you cannot actually use it yet. We need to wait for a patch first.
The card packs are being rewarded right away.
Reward | Unlocked at Total |
---|---|
Common Emote Pack (Twitch) | 300 Bits |
4 Classic Packs | 600 Bits |
Rare Emote Pack (Twitch) | 800 Bits |
4 Classic Packs | 1000 Bits |
2 Witchwood Packs | 1200 Bits |

The Takeway
Not actually that bad of a deal - it certainly isn't the worst one we've seen.
If you break it down, purchasing 2500 bits for $34 USD ends up giving you 22 card packs from the personal rewards alone which would have cost you $30 USD (15 packs + 7 packs). That leaves the card back at cost of $4 assuming you don't care about the Twitch emotes. The deal improves depending on what all the community unlock tiers end up being and if they are all unlockable with just your 2500 bits cheer.
Which team will you be cheering for?
when the card back will be released?
2nd reward has been announced btw
If you're dedicated to watching ads you can earn a good amount of bits by watching ads during a the stream. This may be different without twitch prime but I have received almost 1500 bits from watching ads each day for 5/6 days. I'll gladly buy the 1000 bits for $10 and take the packs and cardback.
So will I unlock everything if I just Cheer 2500 in fell swoop?
The United States.
Blizzard is ahead of schedule, the next Community award is 2 Witchwood packs at 1300 cheers, unlocks at 18,000,000 cheers, no reason to wait for the 25th to figure out.
Did anyone get the 2 Boomsday packs from the Community Reward?
I cheered the required 700 but didn‘t get anything. Or will they be distributed later?
Thanks and greetings! 👋🏻
You need to redeem the reward, click on Loot below the video stream, then click on "redeem all"!
Hi, thanks for your answer. :-)
Haven‘t found it yet, maybe this shoul‘ve been done during the stream and now I missed it. :-(
I‘ll try on Tuesday during the next stream.
Have a nice weekend!
actually no, there doesn't have to be a stream, just look at all those graphs, it will show you if you cheered enough, if you did, go to Loot tab on top of the info page below the stream window and click Redeem All
I know it works as I just did it ;)
is there a thing with these golden legendarys? got golden mukla and golden shudderwok
Thanks for the 1600 dust, HGG Cheer!
If I could unlock an auto-squelch setting, I'd buy 4000 bits, maybe 5000, lol. Especially after I have to start seeing these emotes in my face.
Is there a way to tell how many bits you've cheered so far, so you can see how close you are to the next reward?
If you follow the link that is provided in this news post you'll see the Event page. If you scroll down you'll see a tab called "personal progress" it should show you how much you've cheered so far and what rewards you're about to get.
Thanks SneezingMeerkat!!
Wanted to get a 80g quest done on NA with my gf, main acc is on EU.
Forgot that i just cheered for 1000 bits -> unlocked the 8 classic packs on my NA acc as i didnt log in ony my EU acc after cheering...
I am so fucking dumb, I had the hope that we get the packs for all 3 servers...
But the main concern is, is the NA acc now my "main" acc for the whole cheer event? Meaning that if I cheer 1500 more for the cardback, that the cardback will only unlock on my NA acc? Even if I log in on my EU acc after cheering?
I'm feeling so awful right now, at least 320 dust now less on my main acc on EU. >_<
The promo is tied to your blizz account thats linked to your twitch account itself, not the server. If you cheer later just be sure to log into EU and you will get the promo packs there. Logic leads me to that conclusion. I havent actually tested this, but it seems to be the most likely scenario.
So playhearthstone twitch channel has has around 20k average viewers when there is a tournement. If EVERYONE "donates" 4000 bits (around 50 $) each, they will get 2 extra boomsday packs. What a deal!
Blizzard knows that most of the hearthstone fan base are completionists. We want every single card back, hero, cards and stuff. Boomsday pack with jaraxxus was OK. It was a money grab sure, but it was not like... This.
Most of the people who "needs" the card back to soothe their OCD, don't really care about the older card packs. 4 boomsday packs plus a legendary worth of dust is well, not the best deal in the world, still understandable tho. But the 35 bucks for the card back... God that's some next tier BS, a majestic rip off. Wet dreams of UbiSoft and EA.
At the end of this, we will see how the player base react. I hope we have some common sense, because if blizzard gets what it wants, they'll continue doing this s**t. Probably even more. If we stand up to this right now, they will realise we're not just walking wallets. With the competition from Artifact and MTGA (hopefully they wont end up in the gutter like gwent) Blizzard will have to back off a bit.
No wonder i passed calculus on my 8th try
