The fourth and final week of this year's Hearthstone Global Games tournament has arrived with only the eight strongest teams remaining. After the weekend we'll find out who will be crowned as this year's winner, following the success of the previous champions Czech Republic (2017) and China (2018).


Tournament Format - Top 8

Remember the rules from previous rounds? The tournament will keep following the format until top 4.

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

Groups

As usual, the groups will contain teams from one region only.

  • Group A consists of APAC teams: Hong Kong, Japan, New Zealand, and Taiwan.
  • Group B has the remaining Europeans: Czech Republic, Denmark, Norway, and United Kingdom.
