Update: Day 3 of Masters Tour Ruins of Alterac is now live!
It’s time for the second Masters Tour of 2022 – the event will start be played over this weekend. More than 400 players will fight for their share of $250k prize pool. It will be played with the same pool of cards as the last event, but this time players had much more time to prepare, so the decks should be way more refined. It’s also the last Masters Tour of Year of the Gryphon – the next event will be played post-rotation, so if you’re a big fan of the current meta, be sure to check it out.
YouTube drops will also be active. Watch the tournament on any of the official streams for two hours to get a single Fractured in Alterac Valley pack, watch for two more (four in total) for a second pack.
Learn more about the event and how to connect your accounts for the drops (in case you haven’t done it yet) from the official blog post below:
The second Hearthstone Masters Tour sees more than 400 players from over 40 countries settle the war between Alliance and Horde as they compete in Masters Tour Ruins of Alterac for a chance to take home a share of the $250,000 (USD) prize pool and the title of Masters Tour Champion.
There’s more than just money and pride on the line! The top 32 players from Americas, Asia-Pacific, and Europe that don’t already have invites will receive one for Masters Tour 3, taking place April 22-24. Players are also hoping to earn enough points to advance to the Summer Championship and Grandmasters: Last Call, each providing potential invites to the 2022 World Championship. Will APAC claim its first Masters Tour championship, or will China further cement itself as the dominant region in the world?
