 Upper Deck Entertainment (UDE) gave out details on the upcoming World of Warcraft Trading Card Game championship and the March of the Legion pre-release tournament. Both events will be held next month and promise to deliver more gaming goodness for fans of the TCG.
The tournament, which runs from November 30 to December 2, will be held in the San Diego Convention Center. Top players from 30 countries are invited to join this tournament, and each one will be receiving a copy of an Extended Art Thunderfury Card just for participating.
The prize pot is one of the largest ever offered for any TCG with over US$ 260,000 in prizes. The winner of this year's WoW TCG world championships will be receiving a check for US$ 100,000 while the rest of the players who reach the top 100 slots will be getting a combined sum of US$ 160,000 in prize money. Here's the list of prizes:
- 2nd: US$ 25,000
- 3rd-4th: US$ 10,000 each
- 5th-8th: US$ 4,000 each
- 9th-16th: US$ 2,000 each
- 17th to 100th: US$ 1,000
UDE also announced details on the pre-release tournament for the World of Warcraft TCG follow up to the Fires of Outland called March of the Legion which will be held on November 17. Players who decide to join the event will get the Thundering Footsteps generic ability card which creates a 10 attack/10 health ally for eight resources.
For those who haven't been keeping up with the expansion previews, this March of the Legion introduces two new sub-factions called the Aldor and the Scryer. It also adds new keywords and even more demonic allies for players to use in their deck construction.
November looks to be an awesome month for World of Warcraft TCG players everywhere with the first World Championship and the release of another expansion. If UDE keeps holding events like these, it's only a matter of time before the World of Warcraft TCG becomes the top card game in the industry.
