WoW je baš dobro startovo kao eSport, što je lepo videti, a tu je i mnogo informacija za one koje prate WoW Turnire.
- European finale koje se održava u Hamburgu, gde se najbolji WoW Arena timovi kao i najbolji European Warcraft III igrači nalaze i bore za Global Finale koje se održava na BlizzConu. Možete da pogledate slike sa Blizzard UK sajta (slike i tournament brackets) i nemačkog sajta Giga.

- Jedna od bitnih vesti, Blizzard je objavio da će WoW biti jedan od glavnih igri na Championship Gaming Series (CGS). Svetski šampioni, evropski i američki serveri će imati prilike da obezbede sebi mesto na CGS. Igrači koji budu izabrani za CGS timove, dobiće kao nagradu 30,000 - 100,000 dolara, a možda i više...
A evo i detaljnih informacija kako ovo sve treba da radi:
Ladders
All teams participating in 2-vs.-2 Arena System matches in each battlegroup will automatically be entered in the competition. The initial phase of the tournament will last from June 19 to July 3, and players can check the rankings by visiting the battlegroup ladder pages. The top five 2-vs.-2 teams in each battlegroup will be invited to the next round.
Qualifiers
Following the end of the ladder phase of the tournament on July 3, the five top-ranked teams from each battlegroup will be selected to participate in the qualifiers, as discussed above. Each of these teams will be copied to a private realm in the corresponding region (Europe and North America), where they will compete with the other qualifying teams from that region's battlegroups. The qualifier round will run from July 9 to July 17 and will utilize the same ranking system as the ladders. At the end of the qualifier round, the top 8 teams from Europe and North America will be chosen to participate in the live CGS tournament at BlizzCon and subsequent draft.
BlizzCon Tournament and CGS Draft
The top 16 teams from the qualifiers will be flown to BlizzCon to participate in a two-day tournament to determine the best 2-vs.-2 Arena teams in the world. The top 8 teams from Blizzcon will then be flown to the CGS World Championship in Los Angeles, where they will compete for cash prizes and immediately begin their careers as salaried pro gamers at CGS. They will join 1 of 8 CGS teams following the 2008 Draft and then compete professionally for their teams alongside team members who play a variety of games, including World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade.
