Taipei is the perfect setting for the conclusion of the HCT Hearthstone World Championships
It’s fitting that the final Global Championships in the current Hearthstone competitive scene take place in Taipei, Taiwan. The city has an addiction for brightly coloured lights, hints of history, and the ultramodern, with an aesthetic that can only be described as cute - in the classic kitty-face emoji sense. In short, cartoon characters are everywhere.
Hearthstone plays well in Asia, with more of the game’s 100 million players to date residing on this continent than in North America. Organisers turned the 35,000-square-foot Heping Basketball Gymnasium into a combination of a Hearthstone inn - complete with a giant, digital fireplace - and a huge, physical playing board as the stage.
The raised rectangle has a floor made out of display screens which, during the matches, change into the game’s various playing boards around the players in the centre. Wins are rewarded with a swirl of golden sparks or flying cards - it’s quite a sight.
