Grandmasters will also feature multiple match formats, starting with two weeks of Conquest. From there, players will participate in two weekends of Specialist, Last Hero Standing and another period of Conquest.

These Hearthstone Dual Tournaments will lead into the week eight playoffs, which will involve the top 8 players competing for one Hearthstone World Championship invitation per region.

Ahead of the second season of Hearthstone Grandmasters, the players with the most points from the 2021 Masters Tours will also fill the four open slots per region.
