The only thing better than Hearthstone card packs is free Hearthstone cards packs.

With the 2016 Hearthstone World Championship looming, Blizzard is giving away free Grand Tournament card packs. All you have to do is choose which of the 16 players left in the tournament you think will go all the way.

While logged into your Battle.net account, go to that link and select the player you think is the best -- you'll automatically get a Grand Tournament pack. Each match they win will net you another pack of cards, all of which you will receive once the World Championship concludes on Nov. 5.

At the very least you'll get one pack for participating, and six packs if you happen to pick the grand champion.

The window for picking your hopeful champion runs from Thursday, Oct. 20 to Tuesday, Oct. 25. If you miss that window, you'll have another chance to select a champion for the final two days of the tournament: Monday Oct. 31 to Thursday, Nov. 3.

Be careful with your selection -- once you choose a player, you can't change it.

The 2016 Hearthstone World Championship will start with group stages running from Oct. 26 to Oct. 30. The top eight players that emerge from that week will compete in a single-elimination bracket at BlizzCon Nov. 4 and 5.

You can follow the champion you choose as all the action unfolds live on Twitch:
