Choose Your Champion + Twitch Drops For HCT 2019 World Championship

Good news everyone! As you might have noticed, we’ve got a lot of free packs lately. So how about some more?

First of all – it’s time to choose your champion again! Pick one of the 16 players from the upcoming HCT 2019 World Championship. Just for doing it, you get one Rastakhan’s Rumble pack. Easy? Easy! Now, every time “your” champion wins a match, you will get one extra pack. Which means that you can earn up to 6 packs for picking players who got to the finals. Who it might be? That’s hard to say, but you can share your picks in the comments!

But that’s not everything, because Twitch drops are coming. Every day of the World Championship (so April 24-27), you will get a free Rise of Shadows pack for tuning in for at least 4 hours (out of 8 total per day). Edit: As it turns out, after reading the rules more carefully, you can get ONE Rise of Shadows packs in total. Additionally, every hour, 1500 Classic packs will be randomly distributed among the viewers. So if you watch (or just put it in the background) the tournament for 4 hours in total, you will get a Rise of Shadows packs guaranteed. Then, if you’re lucky, you might also roll some Classic packs.

Keep in mind that in order to be eligible for the Twitch rewards, you need to link your Twitch and Battle.net accounts! If you still haven’t done it and you don’t know how, there are instructions in the official post below.

The Hearthstone Championship Tour (HCT) 2019 World Championship kicks off in Taipei on April 25 with the world’s 16 best Hearthstone players from the Americas, Asia-Pacific, China, and Europe competing to win the 2019 Hearthstone World Champion title and the lion’s share of the $1,000,000 prize pool.

    I watch some streams but i’m not a guru in the competitive scene.
    What are the best contestants?
    Bunnyhopor? Roger?

      I’m nowhere near “guru” either, but I went Bunnyhoppor because he’s been placing well lately, he seems like a nice guy, and he’s got a cool name.

      Roger won HCT Winter 2019, but he’s also has some..let’s say controversy. That’s what BlinkFl0yd means when he says he’s picking “the cheater”.

      The other people I considered were Ike and Justsaiyan.

    I’m pretty sure we get Rise of Shadows packs instead of Rastakhan’s Rumble packs, right? 🙂

      Yes, Rise of Shadows pack for watching, RR packs only for choose your champion. Thanks!

      Also fixed – you can get up to SIX packs, forgot about the initial group stage, World Championship has more matches in total, so more opportunities to get packs.
