“Choose Your Champion” is back once again, this time for the upcoming 2020 Hearthstone World Championship (in case you missed it, it’s happening next weekend – December 12-13).
8 players who qualified through Hearthstone Grandmasters circuit (or China’s Gold Series) will fight for the title of best Hearthstone player this year and – of course – their share of $500,000 prize pool.
You can pick the player you think will win the entire tournament. You get a single Darkmoon Faire pack for just doing that, and then an extra one each time your champion advances. If you pick a player who will play in the finals (doesn’t have to win them – 2nd place is fine too), you will get 4 Darkmoon Faire packs.
Even if you don’t know anything about competitive scene, it’s still worth it to choose someone. You at least get a single pack, and each one of those players has a serious shot at the title, so even picking at random gives you a solid chance for more packs.
You can pick your champion here!

The Hearthstone 2020 World Championship kicks off on December 12. Eight of the best Hearthstone players in the world are representing the Americas, Asia-Pacific, China, and Europe. Qualified players will compete for their share of the $500,000 (USD) prize pool and a spot in the Hall of Champions!
You can choose one of the eight competitors as your champion and be rewarded with Hearthstone card packs based on how well they perform! Simply click the button below to log into your Battle.net account and choose a champion to cheer for—but remember, you cannot change your selection once you have chosen!
Just for participating, you will receive one card pack from Madness at the Darkmoon Faire. You will receive one additional card pack each time your champion advances—to the quarterfinals, semifinals, or finals. If your champion plays in the finals, for example, you would earn four total packs (including your participation pack). All card packs are expected to be delivered to you in-game within 30 days after the World Championship. Voting ends on December 11 at 11:59 p.m. PST.
Seeing your champion succeed isn’t the only way to earn packs. T-Mobile customers can also earn an additional pack through the T-Mobile site. After claiming your code, you can redeem for a free pack at Battle.net/redeem.
With so many incredible players competing for the Championship, we figured a guide to each player’s strengths, weaknesses, and signature playstyle would be helpful. Scroll down for a quick visual rating of each player and to see why they may be the next Hearthstone World Champion!

I have a question… I know that the championship ended, but I’m pretty sure I voted for Jarla and yet I didn’t get any packs. Am I the only one to whom this has happened? And could someone help me where should I post this “bug” for blizzard to see?
Where can you see which one you picked? I forgot…woops
Thanks for the info and ratings. I took Xiaot since he had the best ranking with an actual useful bonus rating. xD
If anyone has any insight I’d appreciate it, I’m thinking Bloodyface cause I know he’s done well in the past.
It’s best if you can wait to see the lineups and who they are paired against. That will give a big indication in who is favored or not. Bloodyface has definitely been the most consistent in the last 3 years, so that is a safe bet for sure.
