Hearthstone: Oktoberbrawl Special Event Announced
Veteran players face off in weekly challenges with brand new accounts.
Oktoberbrawl is a special Hearthstone event that will pit two teams of Hearthstone veterans against one another through weekly matches. However, the catch is that each player on both teams will start off with a brand new account so they will have to make do with the cards they open from packs in order to defeat their opponents.
From September 11th to October 10th, players who have a Twitch Prime account will also be able to redeem the special Call of the Void and Call of the Light Card backs. Winning ranked games while using these card backs will help support the respective team by giving them a chance to open more card packs for the week. Don’t have a Twitch Prime account? Simply link up your Amazon Prime account with your Twitch account, or sign up for a free trial!
The teams are as follows:
Team Void
- David “Dog” Caero of Team Liquid
- Thijs “Thijs” Molendijk of G2 Esports
- Jack “J4CKIECHAN” Hutton of Fade 2 Karma
Team Light
- Octavian “Kripparrian” Morosan of Team SoloMid
- Andrey “Reynad” Yanyuk of Tempo Storm
- Allie “Alliestrasza” Grace of Fade 2 Karma
Furthermore, each week will follow a theme based on two Hearthstone expansions. The finals are scheduled to take place at TwitchCon on October 21st.
Wild Week: September 11–15
Weekly Packs: 10 packs each of Goblins vs Gnomes and The Grand Tournament
Kraken Week: September 18–22

Continue below for the Official Rules:
Each player on each Oktoberbrawl team will receive a fresh account, 10 Classic packs, and a Welcome Bundle. During the Oktoberbrawl period, on Monday of each week, each player will receive 10 packs each from two different expansions. Then on Wednesday of each week, each team member will receive a portion of a second pack award based on a percentage of total wins earned in Ranked Play by players using their team’s card back. Play for each week will culminate in a grudge match on the official Hearthstone twitch channel.
Oktoberbrawl accounts may only be played while streaming on Twitch. Oktoberbrawl team members may earn gold through quests and playing constructed games, and spend it to purchase Classic packs, but may not purchase packs in any other way. A free Arena ticket can be used, but Arena runs cannot be purchased otherwise. Players may not disenchant cards, and may only complete the 80g “play a friend” quest with one of their teammates.
