World of Warcraft is cranking back up its Arena World Championship series for another run — and this year it looks to be bigger than before.
Blizzard announced that the 2017 series will contain four additional teams in both regionals and the finals, in part thanks to a dedicated Latin America team and a second Chinese team. Other changes include open signups, additional qualifiers in NA and EU, and a prize pool of $6,000 each.
“The top eight teams will be broadcast live, giving your team the chance to show off epic skills and the audience good reason to cheer on the teams they’re passionate about,” the studio said.
