Ranked Play Season 5 Begins – The Chill of Icecrown
by JR Cook - 10 years ago show comments
As we had previously previewed, a chillingly awesome card back is up for grabs in Ranked Play Season 5 – The Chill of Icecrown. Today is the first day of August, so the season has officially begun and it’s time to start climbing the ladder again. Do also keep in mind that this month’s ladder rankings are the last ones that will have any bearing on qualification/seeding for the World Championships set to take place later this year. With Naxxramas also in full swing, what better time is there to hop into the madness of Ranked Play than right now?
The fifth official Hearthstone Ranked Play Season is now live—and we’re unveiling a new card back you can add to your collection!
Beat the heat of summer and ascend the Ranked Play ladder to earn the refreshingly frosty* Icecrown card back! You can only earn this card back by playing Hearthstone during the month of August.
These card backs replace the art decorating the reverse side of your cards and are a great way to show off your Hearthstone accomplishments. Add the Icecrown card back to your collection by hitting Rank 20 in Ranked Play mode. You’ll receive the Icecrown card back at the end of August’s Ranked Play Season.
Don’t forget—the further you move up the Ranked Play ladder, the more bonus stars you’ll receive next season. In Ranked Play, you’ll receive bonus stars based on your performance from the previous season —one bonus star per rank you attained. Please note that even if bonus stars from the previous season get you directly to Rank 20 or above, you still have to log in at least once each Ranked Season to qualify for the card back reward.
If the frozen wastes of Northrend won’t cool your drive for heated competition, hone your heroic efforts in on the biggest prize of them all—the $250,000 prize pool at the Hearthstone World Championship! The top 16 players from Ranked Play Season 5 will qualify to participate in a Hearthstone Championship Qualifier Tournament. Click here for more info on the Hearthstone World Championship.
This is the last month to qualify for the Championship Qualifier Tournament through Ranked Play, so don’t miss out on this cool opportunity!
The best way to beat the heat is to keep a cool head as you rise through the ranks! Battle your way up the Ranked Play ladder with our fifth official Ranked Play Season, The Chill of Icecrown, running through the month of August!
*Warning: Brain freeze, shivers, and chattering teeth may accompany the use of the Icecrown card back. The cold never bothered me anyway.

God I hope we get a death knight class at some point, just a quick thought.
I’m with you, although I think we won’t see a new class until late 2015 if I had to wager a guess.

How can I acquire the new ice crown backing? Do I have to just keep playing the ranked mode and just hope for it?
Just play enough games to get to Rank 20 and at the end of the season, it’s yours! You’ll see it on September 1st.
