To reach the top in the American region, McBanterFace duked it out against players such as Mihai “lnguagehackr” Dragalin, Jerome “Monsanto” Faucher and Facundo “Nalguidan” Pruzzo before dueling Muzahidul “muzzy” Islam in the final.  McBanterFace and muzzy traded wins in the first few games, with McBanterFace claiming victory with his Face Hunter and Handlock.

When it came down to the match point, McBanterFace played Garrote Rogue against muzzy’s Shadow Priest. McBanterFace had full board control in the late game and — with the aid of Bleed spells, minions and dagger to the face — he became the regional Hearthstone Grandmasters 2021 Season 2 champion.
