Setting our Sights on 2022 for the 15th Anniversary of WoW Esports!
With 2022 starting up, it’s time to make some plans for the new year. The WoW® Esports team is happy to share some of our exciting 2022 plans for Arena World Championship, Mythic Dungeon International, and Classic Arena Tournament!
In 2021, we sought to rethink and expand what competitive World of Warcraft® could mean with expanded Arena World Championship Cups, the new Burning Crusade Classic Arena Tournament, and the introduction of new formats to the Mythic Dungeon International. For 2022, our philosophy is to iterate and improve throughout the year to constantly expand on what makes WoW Esports a community that everyone can be proud to be a part of. With our planned changes and over $1.8 million (USD) in prizing across all three programs, 2022 is bound to be one of the best years for the competitive scene!
One of the main questions we have received from players during the pandemic has been when we are returning to live, on-site events. While qualifying tournaments and each regular season are going to remain online, we are targeting a return to an in-person event in Summer 2022 that encompasses the Shadowlands Season 3 championships for both AWC and MDI. A live tournament is incredibly important to both players and the entire WoW Esports team, and it’s our hope to come together once again in person to celebrate these programs. Over the coming months we will have more news on the viability of this onsite event; whatever we decide will be with the sole intention of ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of everyone involved.
