Blizzard Entertainment has published a new blog post on the Hearthstone community site. With the top 16 countries and regions in the world identified, it’s time to see which teams will advance to the Hearthstone Global Games (HGG) playoffs at BlizzCon. Players can support their favourite teams and unlock in-game rewards with the new HGG Cheer program.
From Sept. 17 through Nov. 4, you can support participating HGG teams by Cheering with Bits on Twitch. As you Cheer for a team using their dedicated, custom Cheermote, a portion of the revenue will go back to the players on that team.
When you Cheer for a team, you’ll also be able to unlock special Twitch emotes and in-game rewards for Hearthstone based on how much you Cheer. In addition to personal rewards, community support can unlock global rewards for everyone who has Cheered as overall milestones are reached.
You will be able to see your personal and global progress on the official Hearthstone Twitch channel. To participate, you need to make sure that your Blizzard and Twitch accounts are linked together.
