HCT World Championship 2019 day 2 results

We’re one day closer to crowning a new Hearthstone world champion.

Last night, the fireside action continued in Taipei. Here’s how things look heading into this weekend.

Casper “Hunterace” Notto began the night by defeating Mark “Ike” Eichner 3-1. Luo “Roger” Shengyuan followed shortly after with a 3-0 sweep of Tyler Hoang Nguyen, at which point there was a brief intermission. Following the break, the action resumed. Brian “Bloodyface” Eason and David “Justsaiyan” Shan both had excellent showings, while things went south for Hunterace.

The HCT World Championship is where the very best in Hearthstone showcase their skills. As the weekend progresses, we become even closer to crowning the 2019 Hearthstone world champion.
