After four days of intense competition, Hearthstone has crowned its final seasonal champion: Luo "Roger" Shengyuan. The Taiwanese trumped German powerhouse Raphael "Bunnyhoppor" Peltzer in the finals in dominating fashion, cleaning up with a 3-0 victory and grabbing $50,000.

As was quite likely to happen, the 2019 HCT Winter Championships had a bit of a restructure schedule-wise. Whereas normally the top four of a seasonal chamionship automatically collects a ticket to the World Championships, an exception had to be made this time around. After all, semifinalists Bunnyhoppor and bloodyface both had secured their ticket in a previous seasonal championship already.

To determine which players would claim the tickets and join Roger and Chinese semifinalist Jing, a so-called "tiebreaker tussle" was hosted with the top 8 players who had missed out on a spot at the World Championships. After a short double-elimination bracket, U.S. favorite Ike and Yueying from China came on top.
