A collection of the world’s most talented Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft teams, including SK Gaming, compLexity, Virtus.pro, and former members of Na’Vi’s recently-disbanded Hearthstone squad, will do battle in the Deck Gauntlet 4.0 this week.
Beginning today, Monday, Oct. 10, all these organizations will each send two to three of their best players to compete in a team-based, double-elimination tournament that will test not only the mettle of individual players, but their unit’s strength as a whole.
Matches will be comprised of two rounds, providing all players the opportunity to face-off against two opponents on the opposing team. In the event of a tie, where each team wins one of the initial rounds, a tie-breaker game will take place between the individuals who won their bouts.
All the action will be broadcast live via Stream.Me, a video platform that gives viewers the ability to simultaneously watch multiple players and casters’ streams on a single channel in up to 4K HD video running at 60 frames-per-second. Stream.Me also allows viewers to blend audio from different broadcasts, as well as combine several chatrooms, granting the audience unmatched control over their user experience with Stream.Me’s built-in multi-channel and multi-chat functionality.
