Just recently, Blizzard just announced some new changes. Accordingly, we have some news for the Hearthstone Grandmasters and Masters Tour series. As one of the biggest changes since 2019, this is some awesome news for the esport. Read on for some quick details.
Hearthstone Grandmasters and Masters Tour – Fact Sheet
- Qualification – the final two qualifiers will have more spots for individuals to compete
- Requirements to qualify have been changed to focus on consistency, where now the top 50 highest win percentage players competing in the last 20 qualifiers without placing first can dive in
- Indeed, this is up to 50 from 30 invites – an awesome improvement from the past
- Earning a Masters Tour Spot is now a lot easier thanks to this, as prior competitors had to compete at 47 Qualifiers or more to win one
Indeed, the entire aim here is to make qualification for spots to be slightly more accessible for competitors.
Beyond these changes to qualification, there are other small changes. Otherwise, other small moves have also been implemented:
- Webcams will be mandatory for all matches
- Masters Tours events will feature eight swiss rounds instead of nine
We’ll see these changes implemented at the upcoming Masters Tour Stormwind Qualifiers. Meanwhile, there’s also the Grandmasters 2021 Season 2 coming on August 13th.
