Blizzard has announced the first official esports tournament for World of Warcraft Classic since the game's release in August 2019, a PvP event that will be held over three weekends, beginning on June 17.
The Summer Bowl 10-v-10 tournament will take place in the Warsong Gulch capture-the-flag battleground, and players from North America and Europe will compete for a prize pool of $4,000 in each region. The games will occur on live World of Warcraft Classic servers and use the recently released War Game feature.
Teams of 10 players may sign up in their region, and all players with a level 60 character on live WoW Classic servers are eligible to compete. The European qualifier will be held on June 20-21, with the North American qualifier taking place the following weekend on June 27-28. Finals, which will be open to the top six teams in each region, are scheduled for July 4 and 5 for Europe and North America respectively.
Using the MMO's new War Game feature, teams will be able to queue up to compete against other teams in their region. Additional information about rules and eligibility for the World of Warcraft Classic Summer Bowl Warsong Gulch PvP tournament can be found on the European and North American signup pages.
