Masters Tour Jönköping is the third Masters Tour event of 2020, and it will happen this weekend! Just like the last Masters Tour, this one will also be online-only because of the current global situation. Unlike last time, however, Blizzard had much more time to prepare, so the entire event should be streamed live without any issues.
Over 350 amazing players from around the world, who qualified through tournaments or high ladder finishes, will fight for their share of $500,000 prize pool ($250,000 base, which was doubled thanks to the sales of the Dragon Masters Bundle). Find all of the necessary information below!

Format
Here’s how each of the days will look like:
- Day 1: Five rounds of Swiss.

- Day 3: The Top 8 players will advance to single elimination bracket and the winner will be decided!
Additionally, each player who finishes with AT LEAST 7-2 score (so goes through both days without dropping out) will be automatically qualified to the two upcoming Masters Tour events – Masters Tour Asia-Pacific and Masters Tour Montreal.
Where to Watch
Here’s a full list of streams in different languages. Keep in mind that a while ago, Blizzard has moved all of their esports to YouTube. Which means that there will be no Twitch broadcast.
No Drops
We hoped that Blizzard will activate drops functionality. It was very popular on Twitch and many players tuned in “lured” by the opportunity to get some free packs.
While YouTube also offers drop functionality, it doesn’t seem like Blizzard did anything to activate it just yet. We’ll let you know if anything changes!
