Hunterace Has Become the First Hearthstone Master

Casper “Hunterace” Notto has achieved Hearthstone greatness by becoming the first ever Hearthstone Master. Thanks to his excellent performances at the various HCT events, Hunterace has managed to amass the 150 points required to reach the title. The rewards for reaching the rank of One-Star Master (150 points) include automatic entry into exclusive end of month tournaments, as well as some commemorative swag at the end of the year.

Should Hunterace accrue more points over the remaining tournaments, it’s possible he can reach Two-Star (175 points) or even Three-Star (200 points) Master rank, which brings additional rewards along with the title. Rewards can include a monetary appearance fee for attending events, as well as a possible automatic invite to Seasonal Playoffs.

Hunterace’s recent tournament placings showcase his incredible skill at the game, finishing second at HCT Germany, second at HCT Toronto, first at HCT Seoul, first at HCT Italy, and minimum fourth at HCT Tokyo, proving his ability to consistently reach the upper levels of the game.

Other players still have time to try and reach the same level of competitive accomplishment that Hunterace has achieved, with the third season of HCT still to play out. While undoubtably some players will be chasing the goal, it’s more likely that others will have their attention focused squarely on the upcoming expansion, as card reveals continue to arrive daily.
