In addition, the winner will secure their spot in the grand finale of GWENT’s esports series — GWENT World Masters.

The tournament starts with quarterfinals on Saturday, April 28th. The semifinals, as well as the final showmatch are set for Sunday, April 29th. The matches will be livestreamed on the official CD PROJEKT RED Twitch channel and masters.playgwent.com, with regular updates on the GWENT Masters Twitter.

Hosting the event will be Jesse Cox, joined by GWENT players and streamers: Miguel “MegaMogwai” Guerrero León, Dane “McBeard” McBurnie, Connagh “Merchant” Hawkins and David “ImpetuousPanda” Gil Nolskog. The broadcast team is complete with analysts Sean “Swim” Huguenard and Francesca “Jaggerous” Jagger.

During the event, viewers will be able to earn in-game rewards by watching the tournament. These include Card Kegs, a special player title, as well as the winner’s favorite card. Details on Twitch Drops are available at playgwent.com/twitch-drops.
