As usual, the euros break the news first, and the 2009 Tournament Realm has been announced. Detailed rules haven’t been released yet, but according to this forum post, signups begin Feb. 17th.
In an interesting move, Blizzard has gone away from the two seperate qualifiers they had this season, and instead will invite the top 1000 teams to a one week invitational ladder, following the six week long open competition. In true WoTLK fashion, players who participate in the TR will receive not only an Armored Murloc vanity pet, but also a sleek “Vanquisher” title for their live characters.
It remains to be seen whether or not the TR will actually begin the 17th, but from the looks of it, patch 3.1 will hit mid TR. Thats….. pretty typical, and creates a whole host of balancing issues (as if there weren’t enough already). Regardless, I’m sure a lot of people are excited about the announcement! Be sure to tune-in to the show tomorrow for an in depth discussion on the announcement, and what it means to the scene.

Looking forward to seeing the competition pan out, this should bring some new blood into the competitive arena scene, and hopefully for the best.

Is it going to be a free for all signup system like last?
