Hearthstone Masters Tour 2020 Will Expand To Six Locations, Including 2 In SEA

With Esports making its historic debut at the 2019 Southeast Asian Games, Hearthstone players from all over the world are seeing a bright spot in their decks, especially now that they are shuffling on one of the main stages of electronic gaming.

The Hearthstone Masters Tour is a series of invitation-only tournaments where Masters Qualifier winners will have a chance to face some of the best names in the game. This year's Masters Tour, according to IGN, will be much bigger and will take place in six places, including two in Southeast Asia.

Masters Tour #2 will take place in Bali, Indonesia and the fourth will be held at an undisclosed Asia-Pacific location. The rest of the tour will jump from Arlington, Texas; Jonkoping, Sweden; Montreal, Canada and in Spain.

Previous Hearthstone Masters Tour were only held at Las Vegas, Seoul and Bucharest before it was stretched to six.

Aside from the Tour, two seasons of the Grandmasters will be back this year. IGN added that the first two seasons will be held in April and August, respectively, with players from the Americas, Southeast Asia and Europe slugging it out for top supremacy.

The prize pool for the Hearthstone Masters Tour will still be at $25,000, while top Grandmaster and World Champion VKLiooon of China went home with a $200,000 cash prize last year.

Details for the Arlington, Indonesia, Jonkoping and Montreal Masters Tour are already available via Hearthstone's official website.
