How it works

Like the first season of Hearthstone Grandmasters 2021, there will be eight weeks of matches. However, unlike the previous season, the approach to the formats will change.

“In 2019, we introduced Specialist as a simplified replacement for Conquest that would still require high-level strategy from players—while we are happy with the Specialist format itself, it hasn’t proven to be the all-encompassing mode we had hoped,” Blizzard noted in the announcement.

Although the Specialist format allows for competitive thinking, the individual matches can last for several hours and take away the community enjoyment for the broadcasts. Blizzard added that the Specialist format will be revisited in the future.

Hearthstone Grandmasters 2021 Season 2 will feature an alternating format:

  • Week 1: Conquest
  • Week 2: Last Hero Standing
  • Week 3: Conquest
  • Week 4: Last Hero Standing
  • Week 5: Conquest
  • Week 6: Last Hero Standing
  • Week 7: Conquest
  • Week 8: Finals – Conquest

The new Grandmasters

The top point-earners of Hearthstone Masters Tour got promoted to Grandmasters.
