Update — March 23
After a great game against TNCAnswer, xBlyzes won this Masters Tour Los Angeles online!
It's the first time a player has won two MT in a row, not to mention that the match was very complex for the French player, being led 2-0, before coming back on track by preventing TNCAnswer's Shirvallah Paladin from being able to finish the match.
With this victory, he officially offered himself a place in the GrandMasters Europe season 2!

The next Hearthstone Masters Tour of this weekend promises to have a special flavor. Scheduled to be organized in Bali, it was moved for the first time to Los Angeles, because of the coronavirus outbreak, before being finally kept fully online.
Nearly 300 players are expected to participate in this tournament, coming from nearly 40 countries around the world.
The tournament will be held on Youtube, like all the others from this year, and will take place from March 20 to 22 in order to win part of the cash prize of $ 3,000,000 in 2020. Crowdfunding has also taken place before the first Masters Tour Los Angeles, allowing to increase the total price this year.
Players will be able to use Kael'Thas, the new legendary card from the first expansion of the Year of the Phoenix, Ashes of Outland.
Like many things in recent times, the cast of the Masters Tour will not take place.. Matches cannot be streamed, but players can post their matches on YouTube at the end of the day.
