WoW tournament resurrected at Dreamhack, $75,000 in prizes

Filed under: World of Warcraft, Fantasy, Events, real-world, PvP, News items

The rogue-only 3v3 tournament made for awkward viewing.Electronic Sports League have announced a "new" World of Warcraft 3v3 tournament to be held at this year's Dreamhack Computer festival in Sweden, between the 29th and 30th. The tournament will be 8 top-ranked teams, invite only.

Prize money is as follows:

First place: $45,000
Second Place: $22,500
Third Place: $7,500

This seems to be the replacement for the now-deceased WSVG a few months ago, but ESL have picked up the reins, along with the usual sponsors -- Dell, Intel, Blizzard. A new spectator system has also been unveiled, DreamArena, which should mean there'll be decent coverage of the competition for those who want to watch it. Here's hoping this one goes ahead!
