We've already reached the halfway of Hearthstone Global Games as the tournament continues with games from the round of 16. After this round there will be a three-week long hiatus as the new expansion is already lurking around the corner.


Tournament Format - Round of 16

Remember the rules from Round of 32? Good, this will work exactly the same.

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

Groups

The teams have been grouped based on regions, once again.

  • Group A consists of APAC teams: Japan, New Zealand, Philippines, and Thailand.
  • Group B will have both APAC and Americas representatives: Argentina, Hong Kong, Mexico, and Taiwan.
  • Group C is a Europe-fiesta: France, Italy, Norway, and United Kingdom
  • Group D has even more Europeans: Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, and Romania.
