Be aware, however, that since the expansion just went live, there may be lag issues. Blizzard reps have already acknowledged the slowdown on Twitter.

Original story: Blizzard will be launching Hearthstone: The Grand Tournament some time after 19:00 CEST (1:00pm ET / 10:00am PT) as it plans to roll out out the expansion globally, which “may take a while.”

Blizzard admits it doesn’t have an exact release time set due to the complexity of launching Hearthstone: The Grand Tournament globally. The entire rollout process involves making sure the format, vendor, and region are all set when Blizzard pushes its button.

Blizzard announced The Grand Tournament would launch today, although as you could imagine, many players are quite anxious to get into the expansion to experience all of the new cards it has to offer. Hopefully the wait beyond 19:00 CEST won’t be too long as we need our fix of brand-new Hearthstone goodness before we end our day.

In the meantime, be sure to check out all of breakdown of all of the cards Blizzard has announced for The Grand Tournament. And don’t forget to check out our crafting and dusting guide.
