Hearthstone Global Games continues where it left off last week, as the matches of the remaining four initial groups are being played out.

Tournament Format

For those familiar of the previous iterations of the competition, this year will be a lot different.

  • 32 countries, each team having two players.
  • Bo5 Conquest, 4 decks with 1 ban.
  • In first round the 32 teams are divided in 8 groups of four.
  • Each group plays through a double elimination bracket, with top 2 teams advancing to the next phase.

Groups

Last weekend Groups A, C, D, and E played through their matches, and this week the remaining groups will do the same.

  • Group B consists of APAC teams: China, New Zealand, South Korea, and Thailand.
  • Group F will have only European teams: Germany, Italy, Norway, and Poland.
  • Group G is another Europe-fiesta: Belgium, Czech Republic, Romania, and Turkey.
  • Group H has even more Europeans: Denmark, Greece, Russia, and Ukraine.
