Last Friday, together with WoW community manager Josh Allen, esports manager Jeramy McIntyre introduced Blizzard’s plans for WoW esports in 2018. With the Arena World Championship and the Mythic Dungeon Invitational, 2017 has been “the best year for WoW esports to date,” Sascha Steffens, co-owner of hardcore raiding guild Method, told The Esports Observer. player mechanics and dungeon/raid races, Blizzard seems to start pushing its WoW esports agenda. While most people might not consider WoW as esports, despite the player vs. It is fair to say WoW has been successful as a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) over a period of more than 13 years. World of WarCraft (WoW) has been around since its US release in 2004.
When talking about esports, most people immediately think of sold-out stadiums filled with a young demographic and games like League of Legends, Dota 2, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Hearthstone, and nowadays Overwatch. It's just that I, like many past players, have a very particular era of the game that they hold most dear with a particular feeling to the content that will never be recaptured.Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Dota 2, Hearthstone, League of Legends, Overwatch, World of Warcraft Hell, I even expect I will end up playing it at some point, just out of curiosity. I'm sure it will all end up being a decent expansion in the end. I would also assume, based on past experience from previous expansions, an increasing trend towards dumbing down all non-endgame content to funnel people there and a large number of max-level dailies-which are the most boring content imaginable-that are crucial to success in endgame. Whats so bad about WoD? It seems pretty cool.įewer dungeons at launch than even MoP, two zones that won't be finished before launch, many defining abilities for each class being taken away to remove "action bar bloat," no flying whatsoever (at least, that was the last thing I'd heard), a retread of areas from a previous expansion (likely redone, but still feels lazy), and all for an increased price of $50.
