Blizzard revealed yesterday that it’s throwing money at its massive MMORPG World of Warcraft, too. The Americas Regionals for the arena PvP game will feature $100,000 in prizes, with $50,000 going to the top team. The European regionals, in early October, will award a similar total. That’s a hefty sum added to the $250,000 it’s traditionally awarded at Blizzcon for World of Warcraft.
The MMORPG isn’t your traditional esports title, but it had a run as a popular competitive game from 2007 to 2010, appearing as a regular and sometimes headline title at circuits like the Intel Extreme Masters (IEM), Major League Gaming (MLG), and the World Series of Video Games (WSVG).
