What is the World of Warcraft Arena Tournament?

The World of Warcraft Arena Tournament is a tournament based on the Arena System in World of Warcraft. All teams participating in the 5-vs-5 Arena matches will be competing for a spot to play at live events and win prizes. The tournament will consist of two qualifying rounds, followed by live regional tournaments, and will conclude at a global final event.

What are Arena Teams?

Arena Teams are groups of players who choose to fight together in Arena Ladder matches. You must be level 70 to create or join an Arena Team.

• There are two types of Arena matches: rated battles and practice battles (skirmishes)
• Rated battles count toward your team’s ranking in the current Arena Tournament, and you must be a member of an Arena Team to participate.
• Practice battles will not affect your team’s ranking.
• Your team will obtain a ranking by playing at least 10 rated battles a week

How do I make an Arena Team?

Arena teams are created in the same fashion that guilds in the game are created. Special Arena NPCs called Arena Promoters are in various main cities like Ironforge, Orgrimmar, and Gadgetzan. Talking to an Arena Promoter is like talking to a Guild Master NPC. You purchase an Arena charter based on the type of Arena matches you wish to play, with the cost depending on the size of team (80g for 2-vs.-2, 120g for 3-vs.-3, 200g for 5-vs.-5), and then have the appropriate number of players sign that charter. Once the charter is complete, return it to the Arena Promoter and your team will be created. Once created, you can compete with your fellow teammates in your respective battlegroup.

How many team members do I need for the tournament?

The tournament will use the 5-vs.-5 format only. So you need at least five members including yourself.
