On September 29th, eight players will face off in the Hearthstone International Showmatch, and the most valuable player will win a custom Yangwang U9 vehicle.
Blizzard Entertainment is hosting a Hearthstone competition in Hangzhou, China, later this month, bringing together eight top players. The total prize money is 400,000 RMB (around $56,232 USD). But the most exciting reward? The tournament’s most valuable player will win a Yangwang U9 car customized with a Hearthstone theme.
Hearthstone International Showmatch
The Hearthstone International Showmatch begins on September 29th, featuring two teams of eight players each. Before the matches, each team will create decks for all Hearthstone classes and then ban three classes from their opponent’s selection. Each player will then be responsible for mastering two specific classes. The team that wins all the matches – meaning they conquer every class the opposing team has – will be declared the winner.
Hearthstone International Showmatch livestream
The first round of the Hearthstone International Showmatch kicks off on September 29th at 12:10 a.m. Pacific Time. There will be a short break at 4 a.m. PDT, followed by the final match at 5 a.m. PDT.
The tournament’s most valuable player, determined by who wins the most matches, will receive a special prize: a customized Yangwang U9 car with a Hearthstone theme, which they’ll have exclusive use of for a year.
Fans can watch and support the eight players competing in Hangzhou, China by tuning in to the livestreams on Twitch and YouTube. Viewers who watch on Twitch may also be rewarded with up to two Lost City of Un’Goro card packs.
