This year, teams who advance to the Americas Regionals won’t just be competing to earn a spot at BlizzCon, they’ll also be fighting for a share of an epic prize pool of $100,000. That prize money will be distributed among the 8 qualifying teams as follows:

  • 1st place team: $50,000
  • 2nd place team: $20,000
  • 3rd place team: $10,000
  • 4th place team: $8,000
  • 5th-6th place teams: $4,000
  • 7th-8th place teams: $2,000

We’re extremely excited about this year’s Road to BlizzCon, and can’t wait to share all of the details on the Americas Regionals (including when and where they’ll be happening) with you soon. Good luck to everyone competing!

Looks like both changes made it in for maintenance today. All of the Wild Gladiator's armor pieces should now be available on the Conquest vendors, and there is no longer a 200-point Ashran restriction on the weekly Conquest cap.

So, slightly technical details here, but for those who are asking:

The issue with the Accolade trinkets is that there's actually just one item per primary stat (Strength, Agility, etc), which has a secondary stat randomly assigned when it's looted. We can't, for example, put the Int/Versatility trinket on a vendor, because that item doesn't actually exist -- there's just an Int trinket that can randomly have Versatility added to it.

This means we don't have a way to implement a non-random method to get them via hotfix. We'd need to add new versions of the trinkets to the game, and that requires a content patch. I don't know yet if that can happen in time for 6.2.1.

    Since the achievement is going in with patch 6.2.1, did they not expect anyone to down Mythic Archimonde before their release date projection?

    So those destruction buffs were taken away? Guess it's all affliction from here
  1. Dundebuns's Avatar
    With the frequency of Shaman buffs, it's hard to think that the developers can't see the short comings of the class and fix it. It's been like this since since the days of FROSTSHOCK

    WHy Paragon videos looks so epic and Method videos looks like undergeared normal mode or something? :S

    Yeah they're tooltip.

    Blizzard really needs to speed up their patch process. Since they just put this new patch up it probably means another 2 weeks before it comes out. A month+ on the PTR for such a minor patch?

    oh yeah please let the enha burst come to live
  1. Hotmail's Avatar
    ... ow, my PvP Rogue burst. Please tell me that is pending some tuning, ~40% would be more appropriate.

    The only way to pressure pet class defenders in RBGs is to try to blow them up, and that's not going to happen with a Vanish > Envenom that never crits.

    Oh look, super minor patch still on the PTR. My god, they are sure taking their time holding flying back.

    Also, Paragon videos are always amazing! So, does that mean Archimonde is dead for sure? I mean, that's the twisting nether right?

    For me, this was the other way around. Paragon one was really boring, Method was fun due to chatter and better POVs.

    And of course - cheers at the end are always uplifting
  1. Nienor's Avatar
    Method's video was better but that is normal i think. They got the world 1st and they had the right to add their chat and nerdscreams and the epic music and everything. Good call from Paragon to keep it toned down imo. Just the kill. The music was a little too epic. In any case it was a great kill for both.

    Hold on. I thought they said they weren't doing Realm First achievements anymore due to some bs about connected realms.
