On the occasion of the Round of 8 in Blizzard's National Hearthstone College Championship, everyone has the chance to win up to 3 packs of cards.
You choose one of the teams to be your champion and then just have to keep your fingers crossed. If you participate, a package is guaranteed, if you guess correctly and your chosen team gets to the next round, you get a second one. If your team makes it to the finals, there will be a total of 3 “The Streets of Gadgetzan” packages for your Hearthstone collection.
Hearthstone sponsors student teams with more than 160,000 $ grants
The National College Championship is hosted by Blizzard in the United States and awards more than 160,000 $ in prize money in the form of scholarships. The 8 teams that have reached the final round will be 22.-23. April in Santa Ana, California. It is one of the first official tournaments in which the new standard rotation with "Journey to Un'Goro" is used.
