Some dedicated members of the Hearthstone community have been bestowed the
honor of showing you just a taste of what competitive card-slinging is all about
in our featured one-time Hearthstone BlizzCon exhibition tournament:
The
Innkeeper’s Invitational!
The idea behind the Invitational is simple: Take some of Hearthstone’s most
passionate players and pit them against each other in a no-holds-barred
deathmatch . . . er, pit them against each other live on stage at BlizzCon with
three of their best constructed decks at their side. Each player must bring
three decks with three different classes and they will battle each other in a
set of best-of-five matches. If one of their chosen decks loses, it's out for
good! The losing player will then have to choose one of their remaining decks to
battle with, and if they run out of decks, that's the end of their run: Time to
pay your tab and don't forget to tip the innkeeper.
As our invitees duel down to the last card and bounce each other out the
doors of the tavern (more formally called “being eliminated”) in this
tournament, only one player will remain standing and be named "Grandmaster of
the Hearth",
receiving a fitting trophy for their impressive efforts.
