Blizzard goes global with World of Warcraft e-sports tournaments.
Pulling WoW gamers from their PC’s, isn’t that a huge mistake?
Blizzard thinks its time for World of Warcraft players to get out of the virtual world, move to another place and get right back in the virtual world. Last week Blizzard announced it will be organizing worldwide e-sports tournaments for their followers. Players will be killing their opponent in arena environments.
Planning to host various playstyles Blizzard will first organize 3-versus-3 tournaments in arena style. Separate servers will be set up where players will receive a level 70 character with kickass gear. This way skill will be more important then gear.
The tournaments will start with preliminary rounds in April this year. To compete players will have to move their asses IRL to locations in Europe, North America, South Korea, Taiwan and Macao.
Blizzard also announced the winner of the world finals will be awarded 75.000 dollars. Sweet.
