This year’s World Championship was officially announced. Last year the most important tournament became tied to Hearthstone Grandmasters circuit, and this won’t change. 8 players will participate in total – winners from each region’s Grandmasters Season 1 & 2, as well as two Chinese players qualified through China’s Gold Series.
