CD Project’s collectible card game Gwent had its fair share of ups and downs since it launched in October 2016. In the beginning, people saw it as the next “Hearthstone killer,” a label worn by many card games in the past years. Like many others – it failed in trying to bring down popular Blizzard’s game.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Yet, it brought something new to the table and created a community significant and stable enough to become self-sustainable. Developers listened to feedback and did several revamps of the game that made it a much better experience for both casual and tryhard players.<\/p>\n

In 2019 Gwent had its first official esports series (not counting Challengers from previous years), called GWENT Masters, which should have come back this year, starting this March.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Gwent fans and professionals, the world is in a state of emergency right now, and like many other big esports competitions, this too has been postponed without a new date on sight.<\/p>\n

The official Twitter statement says that they will share a new plan for hosting the tournament soon.<\/p>\n
