How to Compete

Season Format

  • AWC Cups: These are 3v3 Arena competitions hosted online by Blizzard that are open to Arena teams of any skill level from the Americas and Europe. Each AWC Cup rewards $20,000 USD in prizing, as well as regional bragging rights and AWC Points to advance to the next stage of the competition.
  • Head over to the Raider.IO home page to sign up for the next Arena Cup in your region!
  • AWC Gauntlet: After the conclusion of the AWC Cups, the top 8 teams per region based on AWC Points advance to the next stage of the competition. The top 3 teams from each region automatically advance to the AWC Dragonflight Finals, with teams finishing 4th through 8th advancing to the AWC Gauntlet. The AWC Gauntlet is a single elimination competition which will determine the last team to advance to the AWC Dragonflight Finals!
  • AWC Mid-Season Clash: The AWC Mid-Season Clash is a new event in 2024. This event will add an extra competition where teams from Europe and North America clash. The Mid-Season Clash will have it’s own dedicated Gauntlet, and take place during Dragonflight Season 3.
  • AWC Dragonflight Finals: The eight best teams from the Americas and Europe – four from each region – will converge for the AWC Dragonflight Finals. Here teams will compete for $300,000 USD in prizing and the title of AWC Champions!
