Blizzard’s ultra-addictive free-to-play digital card game Hearthstone is more popular than ever, and although the most common ways to play involve ranked matches and drafting tournaments against randomly-selected online opponents, Blizzard has offered “Fireside Gatherings” as a friendlier and more social alternative.
In Fireside Gatherings, Hearthstone fans gather together in real life (crazy, right?) to play friendly matches against in-person opponents using their respective devices, exchange tips and tricks, and meet new pals who share a love of orcs, gnomes, and murlocs. You earn a custom card back just for participating in a Gathering, so even if you don’t win you won’t walk away empty-handed.
Fireside Gatherings have recently come to Newegg’s Los Angeles Hybrid Center, with a new recurring event filled with fun, friends, and fabulous prizes. Players compete in Hearthstone matches on their devices of choice, whether a laptop, tablet, or phone, and winning matches earns players more raffle tickets and a better chance to win that week’s prizes. Recent winners have even walked away with brand new tablets from iRULU. Best of all, the event is totally free and open to anyone who is interested.
Hardware, games, and more at Newegg’s Hybrid Center
Newegg’s Hybrid Center provides customers and fans with a place to go hands-on with some of the latest hardware and gaming products, pick up their orders themselves if they choose, and, with Fireside Gatherings and other recent events, to actually play games like Hearthstone and Halo 5, and to learn about topics like PC cooling from experts at Thermaltake.
If you’re in the Southern California area, make sure to keep an eye on the Newegg Hybrid Center Meetup page for all the details on upcoming events. The next Hearthstone Fireside Gathering is planned for February 18. See you there!
