　　Regardless of whether you're aiming to make it big in the nascent Hearthstone scene or are simply looking to dip your toes into competitive card-playing, these weekly Hearthstone tournaments may well be what you're looking for. The events are split into two categories: paid and free. Free tournaments for both North America and Europe will not, as you might have guessed, require entrance fees. Their prizes? MLG credits. Registration for the competitions will end 'bout ten minutes before the festivities begin.

　　The contest rules for the free tournament are as follows: only a maximum team size of one is permitted. The games will follow a single elimination bracket. Winners will be determined by who is best out of three up till the finals in which case it'd be a question of best out of five. Most interestingly, perhaps, players will not be allowed to change Heroes for those three matches against a single opponent. Similar rules exist for the paid tournament. The only difference is that players will be able to construct teams of two.
