Prize Pool

Format

Day 1

This tournament was played with the 16 eligible players divided into 2 Lobbies, A and B. On Day 1 three games were played in each Lobby, with a simple scoring system, ranging from 7 points from first place to 0 points for last place, with the rest of the rules the same as you would find in any other Lobby in Hearthstone. The first 4 players in the standings after 3 games in each Lobby make it through to the Top 8 on Day 2.

Day 2

In the Top 8 on Day 2 was played in the so called "Check Format". What this means is that the players get points for their ranks in each game, just like on Day 1. Instead of capping off after 3 games however, the point total is counted up to 20 points, which is the "Check" point.

After the moment a players gets 20 points their goal is to end as a winner in 1 Game, which secures them the victory. So getting a first place before hitting 20 points does nothing. This means several players can end up with 20 points, and that multiple games might have to be played to decide a winner and that the first player to 20 might not end up the winner, if they cannot secure a first place finish afterwards.

Results

It took 5 games for a player to put the Lobby on Check, but when it happened, it wasn't just 1 player, it was 3 players at once! Awedragon, Maks7k and DaPeeDou all hit 20 or more points at the same time which meant that any of them winning a Lobby would crown them the winner of Noblegarden.

The 3 players went for a very, very greedy strategy, because they either win the Lobby (and the tournament) or get no benefits. All 3 players went through the early stage of Game 6 losing life with Maks7k and Awedragon getting perilously low on health by trying to hard push the Tavern Tier upgrades. For Maks7k this dancing on the razor's edge paid off however. He got an Orgozoa, the Tender AND Tidemistress Athissa and after 2 more turns of danger he started going off in a way no one else in the Lobby could come even close to match, leaving Maks7k the winner of Lobby Legends: Noblegarden!

Final Standings

Final Thoughts

Although the tournament again ended up just going 1 game after the Check was reached, we felt there was still great gameplay, and edge of your seat moments. The next Tournament will be in just over a month on June 24th to 26th, so we hope to see you again for that, as of yet unnamed, Tournament!

In the meantime, let us know your thoughts about this official Battlegrounds tournament in the comments!
