Hearthstone Esports Returns This February Heading Into The 10 Year Anniversary Of The Game

February will mark the return of Hearthstone esports heading into the CCG's 10th anniversary. There will be three major Standard events throughout the year: two Masters Tour seasonal championships and the 2024 World Championship.

The two Masters Tours will feature the top 16 competitors fighting for their share of a $50,000 prize pool. Twelve of those slots will go to the top four Competitive Points earners in each region, with the remaining four slots going to the top four total points earners who haven't received an invite regardless of region.

The top two finishers from each Masters Tour will get an invitation to the World Championships at the end of the year. The remaining slots will go to the top total Competitive Points earners across the entire year.

CEO Bobby Kotick is alleged to have known about the alleged violations within his company. These allegations have all been denied by Activision Blizzard and the company points to additional diversity and inclusion training as past examples of taking the accusations seriously at the time they were made.This case has been settled for $54 million.
