Aside from the opportunity for you to kick Kil-Jaeden's posterior into the twisting nether, one other much-anticipated event within the World of Warcraft is the Arena Tournament. After all, hunting down a wily player can be just as (if not more) challenging as slaying the game's bosses.

Now, in case you're still confused at the tourney's Second Qualifier schedule, we've got some good news coming in courtesy of Blizzard's Bornakk. The blue-posted dropped by the WoW Forums to list down the schedule for the 2nd Qualifier's phases, starting from the registration for this month, up until the final phase in July.

We've posted a copy of Bornakk's date list here for your viewing - keep a calendar handy to mark the important dates accordingly. Those interested in keeping tabs on Bornakk's post will want to visit the WoW forums, via the source link below.
