We’re calling on competitors from seven European countries to prove that they’re among their homeland’s best players in the Hearthstone Nationals. Players of all skill levels from France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia, Spain, and the United Kingdom can now register for a place in their country’s tournament taking place this summer.

From the start of April to the end of May, the 64 registered players from each eligible country who earn the most Hearthstone Competitive points—collected via the Ranked Play ladder and HC events—will qualify for their nation’s competition.

The qualifiers will then battle it out in online finals taking place on June 23 and 24. In addition to recognition as the top player in their country, the winner of each event will earn the lion’s share of a $5,000 USD prize pool.

Qualify with HC points

Once you’ve registered, you’ll need to get to work earning all-important HC points. From the start of April to the end of May, the 64 registered players from each eligible country who earn the most HC points will qualify for their nation’s tournament. These points can be earned by placing highly on the Ranked Play ladder during the qualification period, and by competing at HCT Tour Stops and the Summer Playoffs.

Compete

The 64 qualifiers from each nation will compete in online finals taking place on June 23 and 24. The first day will feature a Swiss format stage, with the top eight players advancing to a single-elimination bracket on day two. In addition to recognition as the top player in their country, the winner will earn the lion’s share of a $5,000 USD prize pool.
