Hearthstone World Championships
The Hearthstone World Championships will take place at Blizzcon 2014, with regional tournaments in America, Europe, China and Korea/Taiwan.

In a “Last Hero Standing” format, when you lose a game, you must change the deck you are currently playing. Each player brings three decks and plays until one player wins three games.
