Join us for the Americas Spring Preliminary!
Posted on 03 May 2016
Innkeepers from all across the Americas have heeded the Whispers of the Old Gods and their call for more Hearthstone! From May 20–22, we’ll be inviting players from across the Americas to participate in the Hearthstone Championship Tour’s Spring Preliminary, and you can join in to cheer them on and perhaps duel with some fellow players.
The action begins on Friday, May 20, as the winners of the Tavern Hero Qualifiers battle it out in the Spring Season Tavern Hero Tournament. The top 32 finishers will then join 128 of the Americas' top-ranked players in the Spring Preliminary on May 21 and 22 to determine who will participate in the Americas Spring Championship for a chance to qualify for the Hearthstone World Championship at BlizzCon!
All of the venues listed below will be open to the public, so come along to watch the action unfold, have a duel or two with other fans, and enjoy some of the side events lined up for attendees.
