WoW PvP Pro? Cash To Be Won!
Think you’re the hottest thing to grace the PvP arenas since, well, evah? Maybe it’s time you put your money where your mouth is and join up for Blizzard’s first foray into the eSports realm: the 2008 World of Warcraft Arena Tournaments.
Beginning in April there will be two rounds of online qualifiers for each zone listed below, and allow players to step onto dedicated realms and into the armor of an instantly created level 70, epic-sporting avatar. Fun enough in and of itself, but up for grabs is an awesome $200,000 in cash prizes. Teams will square off 3v3, with the top 4 teams from each round advancing into the regional finals. The prize breakdown looks like this:
- $27,000+ cash prizes at each regional tournament
- $120,000 cash prizes at the global championship
- $75,000 dollars grand prize
Just think of how many monthly subscriptions that could buy…
Now these ain’t for the faint of heart. You’re going to have to hand over some of your hard earned cash to take part in these tournaments (€15/£12 in Europe; 20,000 won in South Korea; $20 in North America; and NT$450 in the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau). More details can be found on the Blizzard Tournament FAQ site and I’m assuming there will be more and more information oozing out as April approaches.
