The matches were under the conquest format, which meant competitors brought four decks and four unique classes into the fray.

When it came down to the final, the first game was XiaoT’s OTK Demon Hunter versus DragonMan’s Garrote Rogue. XiaoT earned the first point during the midgame, and this was followed by another victory thanks to XiaoT’s Quest Warlock against Anacondra Druid. Although DragonMan had a board using Glowfly Swarm, it wasn’t enough as XiaoT built pressure and played minion after minion.
The last game between the players involved XiaoT’s Quest Warrior versus DragonMan’s Anacondra Druid. XiaoT had exact lethal with his minions on the board alongside a weapon to the face.
With a score of 3-0, XiaoT became the Hearthstone Masters Tour Undercity champion.
