ESL reveals the final DreamHack Warcraft III Championship
It is revealed that Warcraft III will no longer be featured in the ESL Pro Tour W3 from 2022 onwards. Due to this, ESL wants to provide a memorable ending to the fans by organizing the first in-person and cross-regional event in 2 years.
“Despite the Championship being our final tournament, we are hoping to close out the year strong by providing the first in-person, cross-region tournament since Anaheim in February 2020."
The Lan event will take place in Stockholm, Sweden from 25th - 28th November. From across Asia, Europe, and the Americas, the best 16 players will compete for the final EPT WC3 champion title. A sizeable $130, 000 prize pool will also be up for grabs in the final DreamHack Warcraft III Championship.
“ESL has done a phenomenal job celebrating that legacy through the last two years of the ESL Pro Tour. We can’t wait to watch their final send-off at the DreamHack Championship, and we’re excited to see the scene evolve in the hands of community organizers around the world.”
