New Trio format
According to Blizzard’s statement, the new Trio format is an experiment.
How it works is as follows:
- The Hearthstone Esports squad will form five distinct groups, each with three classes.
- One or two lessons can be shared by these groups.
- Players will construct three deck configurations for each class and choose one group.
- Players will not know what other players have picked because the group selections will be kept private.
- Best-of-five matchups will be played, with winning decks being unavailable for the remainder of the match.
“We’re excited to see how the Trio format does at the pro level,” Blizzard stated. “If it’s well received, we’ll look into how we may perhaps adopt it in subsequent Hearthstone Esports tournaments.”
