How to watch the 'Hearthstone' Americas Summer Championship
There are only two more chances to qualify for the 2016 Hearthstone World Championship, and winning the Summer Championship is one of them.
The Hearthstone Americas Summer Championship is running Saturday and Sunday featuring eight of the top Hearthstone players from North and South America. Players are competing for one of four Americas spots in the World Championship -- held at BlizzCon in November -- along with a $100,000 prize pool on the line.
You can watch the entire tournament on Blizzard's Hearthstone Twitch channel. Play starts at 9 a.m. PT on both Saturday and Sunday.
