South by Southwest and PAX East to hold $10,000 Hearthstone tournaments next month

Both South by Southwest and PAX East will hold $10,000 Major Hearthstone competitions next month. 

PAX East will be first up, with its competition running between March 10th and 12th in Boston. South by Southwest will then follow with that event running between March 16th and 18th in Austin. 

Both events will feature a $10,000 prize pool and will give the top place finishers some serious Hearthstone Championship Tour points, with first grabbing 15, 12 for second and eight for third and fourth, with the numbers continuing to decrease until those who finish in ninth to 16th place receiving two points. 

Up to 156 players can compete in the competitions, with the format being a double elimination bracket.
