ImageESL has released information about its latest WoW tournament featuring SK's own European team.



On yesterday's WoW Wednesday show, James '2GD' Harding announced the fruits of his labour in the shape of ESL TV's new arena tournament. Featuring some of the best teams in Europe, the event will follow a unique format.

16 teams will be divided into four groups. Each group will play on a different week, with every game being streamed live on ESL TV. The groups have been hand-picked by setup to avoid mass mirror games.

The winner of each weekly group will go onto play in the knockout stage in group five. Refreshingly, all the teams involved will play for the glory of first place, with no prize money involved.
