Blizzard has announced the second iteration of its competitive dungeon tournament. The second season of the Great Push will be held between December 10-12.
For this version, Blizzard tried to think outside of the box and change the standard format that is being used in Mythic Dungeon International (MDI).
Blizzard is once again asking teams to push Keystones across six dungeons; in addition to four from Shadowlands, the players will go all the way back to Legion for the remaining two! While only six teams will make it to the main event and compete for their share of the $20,000 (USD) prize pool, all registered teams that complete under time the two dungeons within the Proving Grounds will receive the exclusive Tormented Banner of the Opportune to use in-game.
How The Great Push Works
- Any team of five players can register to compete on Gamebattles.
- Teams will compete in the initial qualifier phase, the Proving Grounds, on December 3-5, where teams will be given two dungeon keystone combinations to push to the highest difficulty they can reach on the tournament realm.
- The top six teams from the qualifier will be invited to the main tournament, where they will compete across the different Shadowlands and Legion dungeons to push their keystones as high as possible.
- Four dungeons will be revealed at the start of Day 1;
- One more dungeon will be revealed at the start of Day 2;
- The final dungeon will be revealed at the start of Day 3.
- To keep the stakes high, the bottom team at the end of each day will be eliminated, resulting in only four teams advancing to Day 3 and their shot at the championship.
- The winning team will be the one who has the highest overall score for dungeons pushed and will be crowned the champion.
- There are no pre-requisites required to play in the tournament, teams can sign up for The Great Push Season 2 until Monday, November 29!
The tournament will be broadcast live on YouTube and Twitch, and players will be able to stream their perspectives during the tournament, including their time in the Proving Grounds. You can choose to follow your favourite team and players while keeping up with the casters for the overall standings throughout the weekend.
More World of Warcraft!
Meanwhile, there is also the MDI Global Finals where teams will battle for $300,000 USD on October 29-31, only on YouTube. You can follow WoW Esports Twitter for all the updates.
