World of Warcraft®

The Battle.net World Championship event — the culmination of over 30 StarCraft II World Championship Series (WCS) tournaments and home to the upcoming World of Warcraft Arena global finals — will take place November 17 and 18 in Shanghai, China. With so many talented players competing to be crowned 2012’s world champion, we want to see faces from all over the world in the crowd, cheering on their hometown heroes.

We will soon be opening up tickets sales for the event. Keep in mind, however, that since we will be offering tickets through our Chinese website, some western payment methods may not be supported. That being said, if you’re determined to make the trip to Shanghai for the ultimate StarCraft II event, we want to help you out. We’ve provided several of our eSports partners, as well as StarCraft II and World of Warcraft fansites, with a collection of tickets.

In the coming days you’ll find information on the following websites about how to enter for a chance at tickets of your own. We’ll be sure to update this post when individual website ticket promotions are live.

We hope to see you in China!
