As we have covered in our piece on the entirety of the DreamHack Beyond experience and its relevance to Hearthstone, The Three-Headed Dragon Challenge has been slowly unfolding over the entire week - all the Swiss rounds and the Top 16s matches being played off broadcast. But now the time has come to put the remaining Top 8 players from each region in the proper spotlight.
You can catch all upcoming action on Twitch, on the DreamHackHS channel - the same one that has been dormant for quite a long while... And as it happens, the casters involved should also look somewhat familiar:

Going by 'Regions'
All talent will take on one or two regions!
@jiadee_ & @DarrochBrown will take care of the APAC region!
Do note that these tournaments aren't strictly 'regional' - as long as somebody had a satisfying card collection on any server of choice, they were able to compete there rather than just be limited to their current residence - and so it shouldn't be of surprise to anyone if some players ended up mixing and matching.
Congratz to the Three-Headed Dragon Challenge APAC Top 8:
There is at least one name here that should be instantly recognizable to all
Grandmasters viewers -
LambySeries, fittingly making it for APAC.
@lzIWdLcQDUteLtz is actually the handle of
hirosueryouko, who recently made a deep run into Top 16 of Masters Tour Dalaran.
Update: In the final battle of mueseoyuchangjo vs Jimon, only one could have emerged victorious as Alexstrasza's champion:
Now that we have our Alextrasza's champion Jimon. Who do you think will join him […]?
Europe
The broadcast begins tomorrow on July 31 at 14:00 CEST (05:00 PDT, 08:00 EST, 21:00 KST).
Here is who we can expect to see:
Big shoutout to
who are going to the Three-Headed Dragon Challenge finals for EUROPE.
Now that's a fairly stacked field, with two EU Grandmasters in
Jarla and
Leta, and a couple of notable names such as
Meati or
wiRer.
Update: In the final battle of wiRer vs Hypnos, only one could have emerged victorious as Ysera's champion:
What a run!
Congratulations to wiRer as he wins the Three-Headed Dragon Challenge Europe and is Ysera's Champion! 

Americas
The broadcast is scheduled for August 1 at 09:00 PDT (12:00 EST, 18:00 CEST, 01:00 KST).
Here is who we can expect to see:
Congratulations to the Three-Headed Dragon Challenge AMERICAS finalists
Watch them on Sunday at 9 AM PDT on Twitch http://twitch.tv/dreamhackhs!
#Hearthstone #DreamHackBeyond
We have one freshly minted Grandmaster with DimitriKazov, and a consistent ladder climber such as pocket_train.
What's on the Line
We are looking at:
- $10,000 prize pool per tournament:
- 1st place: $2,500 USD
- 2nd place: $1,500 USD
- 3-4th place: $1,000 USD
- 5-8th place: $500 USD
- 9-16th place: $250 USD
- plus an invite to the upcoming Masters Tour Silvermoon for each winner (or the next person in line if they are already qualified).
As a reminder, the format is Best of 5 Standard Last Hero Standing with a Ban. This will be the last time we witness Forged in the Barrens meta in any major fashion.
Plus there is also that fancy title of a Dragon Champion to be earned; winning a stacked DreamHack competition has always been a point of pride for competitive Hearthstone players.
Do you plan to tune in and cheer on any of the competing players? Any region in particular that stands out to you?
