Over the weekend of November 22nd, eight World of Warcraft Arena teams will meet in Philadelphia and compete not only for a slot at the Global Finals, but also for the title of best in North America. The total prize pool for the WoW section is $30,000 with the first place finishers taking home a heft purse of $15,000.No matter what though, if ESL taught us anything, Philadelphia will definitely prove to be an interesting and exciting event. There have been countless numbers of changes to talents and abilities that have buffed some classes to be insanely good, while unfortunately leaving other classes far behind in the Arena setting.

Over the past few weeks since ESL Montreal, teams have been leveling and (hopefully) practicing quite a bit with the new Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Players will hopefully have gotten more used to their newly revamped skills and abilities, talents, and the way that the game is played in the post 3.0 world.
