The Hearthstone Masters Tour is the official second tier of tournament play in the Hearthstone Masters tournament system, consisting of live and online events hosted every year in which Masters Qualifiers winners, Hearthstone Grandmasters, and other invitees compete for massive prize money.
The events are invitation-only events and take place in North America, Asia, and Europe. Each tournament has around 300 competitors, with Masters Qualifiers winners and the biggest names in Hearthstone esports each competing for a share of a $3,000,000 prize pool year-round.
