As announced last week, Twitch Drops have returned to give you two free Scholomance Academy drops for tuning into Hearthstone today! This is to celebrate today's Hearthstone Inn-vitational.

Drops are live until this post is 10 hours old!
Begins at 9 AM Pacific and ends at 7 PM Pacific.

Note that the inn-vitational itself doesn't begin for another hour (10 AM Pacific) and that watching it is not required for the packs. You simply need to watch any Hearthstone stream with drops enabled.

Earning Free Scholomance Academy Packs

  • This starts and ends on August 25. (9 AM PT - 7 PM PT)
  • Watch 2 hours of Hearthstone on Twitch to earn 1 Scholomance Academy pack.
  • Watch 4 hours of Hearthstone on Twitch to earn another Scholomance Academy pack.
  • You must link your Twitch and Battle.net accounts.

If you're interested, you'll want to login to your Twitch account, go to settings, and then connect your Battle.net account. Remember that drops are only active on Hearthstone streams that have the drops indicator below the player. We'll also remind you closer to the event.

Quote From Blizzard

Ready your wands, the Scholomance Inn-vitational is upon us! Taking place on August 25, from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. PT, the Scholomance Inn-vitational will split 20 Hearthstone personalities into 10 teams of 2 players, each representing a Dual-Class pairing! $100,000 in prizing is on the line, along with the bragging rights that come with being the Scholomance Inn-vitational champions!

How it works:

  • Each team will prepare four decks using cards from their Dual-Class pairing and at least 10 Scholomance Academy cards overall.
  • Each player will independently play through 4 rounds of best-of-three matches, with each game victory awarding their team 1 point.
  • If both players on a team win their match with a 2-0 game score, that team will earn an additional 2 points.
  • The final team placements and respective prizing will be determined by the total team point score after all 4 rounds have been completed.

All participants will stream their own perspective of the competition on their own channels from the comfort of their home, with the official Hearthstone Twitch and YouTube channels providing match commentary and big-picture updates. Casting will be the wizards themselves—Frodan and Sottle!

The Scholomance Inn-vitational will also be broadcast in Russian, Turkish, Korean, Portuguese, and Spanish (LatAm)!
