The structure of the competition states:
- Each team should have four decks ready from their given dual-class with at least new 10 Scholomance Academy cards overall. Each victory from four rounds of best-of-three rewards the team a point. Players will play their classes independently, as well. If the couple wins both their matches in a 2-0 fashion, the specific team will garner two additional points. The team rankings and prize rewards will be ruled by the pair’s total points after the four rounds have been played.
As stated earlier, the stream will provide fans real in-game rewards via Twitch Drops. After watching two hours of the Inn-vitational tournament, viewers will earn a Scholomance Academy pack. Watching another two hours and players will find Hearthstone rewarding them with another pack. As always, with the Twitch Drops system, the rewards only work if the viewer’s Battle.net account is connected.
The tournament is scheduled to broadcast on August 25 from 12 P.M. to 5 P.M. Central Standard Time. The matches can be viewed on both Twitch and YouTube Hearthstone channels. The casters will be brought to the community by Frodan and Sottle. Aside from this, the streamers and pro players participating are expected to air their perspective. So, if you are anticipating a specific player or even a predetermined class, make sure to tune in and support them.
