Over the following three weekends, teams in North America and Europe will compete for a separate prize pool of USD $4,000 in each region!

The tournament will be split into two regions: North America and Europe. All games will take place on live servers for WoW Classic, using the recently added War Game feature. Here’s how it all works:

  • Teams of 10 players will sign up for their region. Signups are open to eligible players with a level 60 character on live servers for WoW Classic—check eligibillity and sign up for NA here and EU here!
  • The tournament will be split into two stages for each region: qualifiers and finals.
    • The qualifiers are open sign ups.
    • The finals will feature the top six teams for the region.
  • Teams will battle against each other on live servers using the War Game feature, allowing players to queue up battlegrounds against other teams in their region.
  • For the top six teams in North America and Europe, there will be a total of USD $4,000 on offer in separate prizing for each region and bragging rights of winning the WoW Classic Summer Bowl!
  • More information on the full ruleset can be found on our NA and EU sign-up pages.


We’ll have more information—including casters, final teams, and how to watch—soon. Be sure to sign up now and join our Discord server to keep up with the competitors!

    Our server actually had to put up layers because classic is so popular.

    Smart move by blizzard,
    $4K pot. Cheap investment for advertising.

    They will make a shit done more from this.. I bet they make 100x to 1 they invest.
    Lol. "Because classic is so popular."

    Just a heads up, your server is *not* the only server and your server popularity does *not* represent classic as a whole. Im not sure why you think otherwise.

    lmao dude that's what I was thinking. 4000$ is a pathetically small amount for a giant company like blizzard. also remember it's 4000$ spread across the 10 people who win, so...400$ lol

    Obviously you're not on one of the servers that has been dying for a very long time now. I play on Dragonfang and it's a literal ghost town.

    On like 5 servers due to an arbitrary cap of players being allowed online at the same time. I think it is hard to find a game, which has not seen an increase in # of players in the last few months.

    Maybe take a reading comprehension class? I did not say, nor imply that the game is dead, and even acknowledged that there are huge servers. I really don't know why you did purposefully misinterpret my post.

    You shouldn't have to pay real money in order to enjoy the game. Blizzard created too many servers along with making massive changes to the game and altering the authentic server caps to be much larger than they were supposed to be.

    A handful of servers are packed sure. Good for them, it doesn't change the fact that others are suffering.
