Taking place later this year, the Battle.net World Championship will be the culmination of more than 30 eSports events run by Blizzard and tournament organizers. Known collectively as the StarCraft II World Championship Series, the goal is to identify a true global champion, as players enter and qualify through open tournaments starting at the national level. The National Championships are designed to allow local heroes to rise to the top and be recognized in their country. The top finishers at each National Championship will earn spots at their continental Finals events, which will be an all-out brawl between neighboring countries to decide who will represent their continent at the Battle.net World Championship.
Do you think you have what it takes to compete at the Battle.net World Championship? To earn a seed for a Continental Championship, such as the StarCraft II World Championship Series North America Finals, you must first qualify through the National Championship based on your nationality. National Qualifiers will be the grassroots-level events that will give a wide-reaching opportunity to StarCraft II players to test their mettle and traverse the “Road to Worlds.” These will be, far-and-away, the most open opportunity to participate in a global-scale tournament that Blizzard Entertainment has ever put forth. Partners and organizations will be awarded National Championship seeds to distribute as they see fit, whether it be through brand-new events and tournaments, or online and live events, or by simply adding the seeds to their existing prize pools.
