Masters Tour Los Angeles Viewer’s Guide
UPDATE: For the overall safety and well-being of our staff and casters, and in alignment with California’s statewide ‘stay at home’ order, we are canceling the broadcast portion of Masters Tour Los Angeles. Matches will still take place online as previously scheduled. It is our intention to find a solution to showcase the Top 8 matches on Sunday and we will share those details as soon as we have more information. Best of luck to all of the competitors this weekend.
The Masters Tour returns this weekend for Master Tour Los Angeles! To protect the health and well-being of all players and staff, we recently announced the decision to restructure this event into an online-only Masters Tour. Over 300 invited players from over 40 countries will be joining us online as they compete for the Masters Tour trophy, a shot at becoming a Grandmaster, and their share of the USD $3,000,000 total prize purse for 2020!
While the matches will be played online, join Dan "Frodan" Chou, TJ "Azumo" Sanders, Erik "DoA" Lonnquist, and Michael “Heatwave” Lancaster as they broadcast all of the exciting Hearthstone action live on YouTube.com/HearthstoneEsports.
