The Arena World Championship and Mythic Dungeon International return in The War Within™, with all new seasons starting September 27.
The War Within is here, and with it, the Arena World Championship (AWC) & Mythic Dungeon International (MDI) return in Season 1. The quest for Arena immortality begins later this month, with Cup 1 starting September 27. Meanwhile, Dungeoneers will have two opportunities to participate in both Mythic Dungeon International (MDI) and The Great Push (TGP) formats running in Season 1! Registration is now open for each program, which will all be broadcast live on Twitch and YouTube!
With the launch of The War Within, we're returning the seasonal approach to the Arena World Championship. The AWC will begin September 27, with four online qualifier Cups leading into an epic Season Grand Finals boasting a $300,000 (USD) prize pool and the chance to be crowned The War Within's first Champions.
Beginning today, teams in Europe and North America can sign up on Raider.IO for The War Within Season 1 Cups, where they'll earn the new in-game Forged Banner of the Algari as they battle for their chance at advancing to the Grand Finals. This banner will be exclusively available via the Arena World Championship program for the first time. There will be four open Cups per region, where teams will compete for points and $20,000 (USD) prize money per Cup. After all the Cups and the AWC Gauntlet, the remaining four teams in each region will face off in the Season 1 Grand Finals for their share of the combined $300,000 (USD) prize pool!
In 2024, we experimented with running condensed seasons of the Mythic Dungeon International (MDI) & The Great Push (TGP) to enable both to flourish in Dragonflight Season 3 & 4. Following this model's intense competition and success, we're excited to announce that both formats will be featured during The War Within Season 1. Starting with MDI, the combined events will occur over 6 weekends in Season 1 and award over $500,000
