Hearthstone 2023 World Championship has just finished and we have a new champion. In the finals, Tom “PocketTrain” Swinton defeated CJKaka 3-0, taking the title of 2023 Hearthstone World Champion, World Championship trophy, and a $100,000 money prize. Congratulations!
The series itself was incredibly quick – blink and you miss it. All three matches went down in just a bit over minutes – shorter than like half of the individual games on Day 1. As you can probably imagine, it’s because Pocket got pretty lucky with the draws. But he absolutely deserved the title after working hard for the whole year.
The 2023 Hearthstone World Champion is here! ????
After the incredible, breathtaking performance in the Championship and the whole year – @pocket_train wins the title of World Champion and the hearts of the whole Hearthstone community!❤️
