WoW eSports: Der Zuschauerguide für die Arena World Championship 2020
Am 22. Mai werden die für die eSports-Szene von World of Warcraft verantwortlichen Mitarbeiter von Blizzard Entertainment die erste Phase der Arena World Championships 2020 starten und eine Reihe von Top-Teams aus Nordamerika und Europa bis zum 14. Juni um einige wenige Plätze in den Finalrunden dieses Events kämpfen lassen. Um alle an diesem Turnier interessierten Zuschauer mit allen zum Betrachten dieses Events notwendigen Informationen zu versorgen, veröffentlichten die Verantwortlichen gestern Abend ihren offiziellen Zuschauerguide für die Arena World Championship 2020. Dieser nützliche Beitrag beinhaltet neben einigen allgemeinen Informationen zu diesem Event auch noch einen nützlichen Zeitplan, einen Link zu den Livestreams auf YouTube.com/Warcraft und eine Übersicht zu den dieses Mal ausgewählten Moderatoren.
Zusätzlich dazu macht dieser Zuschauerguide noch einmal deutlich, dass die Arena World Championships 2020 aufgrund des aktuell noch immer in der Welt wütenden Coronavirus dieses Mal einigen umfangreichen Änderungen unterzogen wurde. Die wichtigste dieser Anpassungen läuft darauf hinaus, dass das gesamte Event zum Schutz der Spieler und Mitarbeiter auf Online-Only umgestellt wurde und alle beteiligten Personen sich an unterschiedlichen Orten aufhalten werden. Aus diesem Grund folgt dieses Event auch einer etwas anderen Struktur als seine Vorgänger und die eigentlich für den Sommer geplant gewesene gewaltige Lan mit den Finalrunden wurde vollständig abgesagt.
Weitere Informationen zu dem Livestream dieses eSports-Events findet ihr in dem folgenden Beitrag von Blizzard Entertainment und eine Übersicht der notwendigen Änderungen am Ablauf des Turniers findet ihr hier.
