Burning Crusade Classic Arena Tournament - July 23-25

[Awfulist]

Live on YouTube AND Twitch? I thought they were only doing YouTube for tourney streaming (which sucks) but good to see this will actually be on both.

[Stardrift]

Of course they do some eSports with this shit. Lmao dear god

[pertudles]

They are really milking this aren't they... Say hello to 9.1 in september, you heard it here first. Bookmark it and come back

Diablo 2 Resurrected is September 23rd there's not way they release 9.1 in September knowing that a lot of the playerbase will go back to D2R for a bit.

[Queendom]

do we REALLY need this right now? the season JUST started.....

They are playing on special realms with free gear vendors if you're saying about gear.

[Tsarez]

Are you prepared for the 20+ minute mana drain battles guys?

[Alanar]

Cringe at best.

[crazyswayzee]

i was hoping blizz will do this! nice! will possibly be a meme show but i still like it!

[Falkeshall]

Keep it secret, but I think "Special Guests" might be Illidan Stormrage, and "Mystery Casters" is Ner'zhul.

[Darkeon]

Wouldn't be Blizzard without some shitty e-sports attempt at event.

*gasp* No way...

the asmongold invitational was really good

Asmongold?
Please... he can only play in 5v5s being carried and even then he attacks the wrong target or fails to press buttons/trinket.
I saw a couple of hours of Soda and pika and Soda and ziko and that was SCARY, Asmongold has no chance.

I really didn't. Being a whiner isn't unusual or special. Who cares when it comes? Quit until then like a normal person, there are other things in life.

[Feyot]

mystery announcer? so... its going to be a woman, and then someone who identifies as a deer.
The signal virtue that this company does now is worse than how they are treating their current retail game.
So, sad to see.

This. So much this. Can't wait for to see which clueless female caster they choose just for the sake of diversity. The female caster in the last Arena Tournament was so clueless that she had to piggyback on the feedback and observations of the other casters and build on it. It was clear she was clueless and it was awkward for everyone.

That's the Blizzard M.O.

They made one game that was great for esports(SC2),and then proceeded to cram esports into every single one of their games,except the one that's great for esports

[Mercadi]

Do you have what it takes to enter The Dark Portal and return to where competitive WoW first took hold?

That's one witty way to say $15

[exsanguinate]

Uh, another esport fiesta. Healthy for the game.

[Aerisot]

I don't even think I'll be 70 by then lol

Well, that certainly was a shorter-lived bookmark than anticipated.

They have too its getting no viewers on youtube, twitch it will get them more viewers because people can spam chat with emotes.
