WoW Wednesday: WoW Classic Arena Tournament Returns this Weekend
Written by Ollie Bradley at 02/16/2022, 06:19 AM
The WoW Classic Arena Tournament (CAT) is back for a second instalment, hosting teams from North America and Europe as they get CATty in Burning Crusade Classic.
WoW Classic Arena Tournament is a celebration of Burning Crusade being the turning point for WoW PvP. With the advent of the World of Warcraft Arena came a future of competitive WoW that now sees the title’s most tenacious players hashing it out for some pretty tasty real-world loot.
And CAT is no different, shelling out a total prize pool of $100,000 to the top eight Arena teams from Europe and North America. All eight of which are already raring to go.
This year’s CAT kicks off on 18th February and runs until 20th February. It features 3v3 Arena PvP in the nostalgic world of BCC, and will also feature an interview with WoW Classic Lead Software Engineer Brian Birmingham to sweeten the deal.
