The Las Vegas Masters Tour will be entirely new in Hearthstone since it will be the first of a series of three, played in 2019. After Las Vegas, the second one will be held in Seoul (South-Korea) and the third one in Europe (but it's still unannounced). 350 players will gather in the Nevada city to try and win the major part of the $250,000 prize pool. It will be upgraded with a part of the Masters Bundle sales, recently announced. Here is all you have to know about the June 14-16 event.
