This weekend the Grandmasters 2021 Season 1 saw it's sixth weekend of 8 weeks of action that will decide who is going to get relegated from Grandmasters and who is (eventually) going on to compete for the World Championship.
This week was the second and last of the Last Hero Standing format being the chosen match form, which means players bring 4 Class decks, and get one banned by their opponent. They start the first game on the deck they prefer and the winner of that first game has to stay on that deck, while the loser no longer can use the deck they lost with. The series then continues with both players having to either stay on their deck if they win, or move to a new deck if they lose, until one of them has run out of decks to play. This effectively makes this a Best of 5 Series.

Road to Playoffs
The Grandmasters Season 1 is divided into 7 weeks of weekly tournaments, where everyone scores points for their results that week. After those 7 weeks the Top 8 in the points standing in each Region will play in an 8th and final week of competition to decide who goes to the World Championship. The bottom four in the points standings on the other hand will automatically relegate from Grandmasters. The remaining 4 players who ranked 9th through 12th remain Grandmasters, but do not get to play for a spot in the World Championships this season.
Below is a graphic that shows both the monetary gain as well as the points players can score each week.

This game is fucking stupid, what else is new.
Then why come onto a forum just to complain about it?
they're playing for money , did you really expect to see 'homebrew' or 'meme' decks ??? the last time someone did that (firebat) lost all games and lost his spot as a GM.
Moral of this weekend's GM is sometimes lifesteal DH completely runs you out of resources and then just beats you to death with 3/5 Mo'args.
This weekend proved that it's not the QUANTITY of hats, but the QUALITY of hats that decides tournaments. :P
Do you happen to have an overall standings format Karma?
You can look on the blizzard website under esports then hearthstone grandmasters.
Panthro's suggestion is the best one if you want to know the up to date standings after this weekend. We usually include those in our preview on Thursday, in case Blizzard makes changes after the weekend proceedings.
