The Kickstarter Pro Player Tournament is Coming!

Greetings everyone,

With HEX just having celebrated its 3rd Birthday, we are outrageously happy to announce the highly anticipated “Pro Player” tournament. This feature of our Kickstarter campaign is happening in less than a month!

Not only is this event imminent, we have also decided to significantly soup up the rewards. Just wait until you see the sweet, sweet loot! In less than 4 weeks, the winners can lay their (virtual) hands on a stack of cards that would make old Blackbeard eat his heart out.

Are you hyped yet? It gets better…



To account for all (or most) time zones, we are actually hosting two tournaments. The showdown is going to happen on Saturday, July 16th at 10am CET and again at 10am PT [Worldclock]. Get a pen and save the date!

What’s the tournament format you ask?

The tournament format will be a Bo3 (best of three games) Swiss Constructed for the initial rounds, followed by a Bo3 Top 8 Single Elimination. This latter portion of the competition will be played out in a 4-4-3 Draft format (2x Primal Dawn, 1x Armies of Myth).

How can you enter this tournament?

The tournaments will make use of the trusted entry mechanic of tickets, just as the Qualifiers did for the HEX Invitational 2016. In fact, we are re-using the very same architecture: All existing Invitational Qualifier Tickets are removed from the in-game economy and we’ll grant every existing Pro Player (and above) account 10 tickets. Those 10 tickets allow for entry to one of the tournaments, but not both.

This is a reward exclusive to the Pro Player Tier (and above) of the HEX Kickstarter campaign. If your account falls into one of those tiers, it will receive the necessary tickets to enter one of the tournaments.

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for, the prizes for each of the tournaments. Better sit down, it’s a doozy – as promised in the Kickstarter campaign!

1st Place: 4x each booster card of Shards of Fate, Shattered Destiny, Armies of Myth, Primal Dawn

2nd Place: 4x each booster card of Armies of Myth, Primal Dawn

3rd – 4th Place: 4x each booster card of Primal Dawn

5th – 8th Place: 1x each booster card of Primal Dawn

9th – 16th Place: 50x Primal Dawn booster packs

17th – 32nd Place: 30x Primal Dawn booster packs

33rd – 64th Place: 10x Primal Dawn booster packs



We are super excited to make this tournament happen – and we hope you are, too!
