Tournament Info
We've had a considerable number of events this year, ranging in size when it comes to venues, prize pools and games involved. Until now, however, we haven't included Hearthstone in any of these events. As you can assume, that's about to change with the upcoming GO Malta eSports Festival 2017. Last year's festival included the collectible card videogame and this year was going to be no exception.
Published all the way back in 2014, Gamers.com.mt has always pushed the title in its events, consistently animating the local Hearthstone scene. Our organisation has had a great history with the game, being a huge part of our first local tournaments. Of course, time's passed and the local community isn't as fueled as it was, which is exactly why we're bringing it back.
As usual, it will form part of the casual tournaments if 16 players register for the tournament available to anyone who fancies picking a card. Alongside Rocket League, it's one of the more relaxed environments. For those unaware of the basic game mechanics, here's a rundown. Players gather themselves digitally across a table. The game progresses as players go through a turn-based system to use their pre-made deck of cards from their collection. Cards range from summonable minions, wild spells and a great variety of other commands. Defeating the opponent involves lowering his health to zero. Heathstone is set within the Warcraft univers, utilising the existing lore in all its content. Although it may sound simple, there is an intricate level of depth which has lead to an exciting esport across the whole world.
