Lastly, we're also adding a new community questions and answers section to cover some of the topics that are on your mind.

We have some exciting news to share with the world's most skilled Arena System combatants. This year's regional World of Warcraft Arena Tournaments will feature two sets of qualification rounds played out on special tournament realms in each region. These rounds will culminate in live regional and world finals events, with a mooncloth bag's worth of cash up for grabs... to the tune of a total prize pool of more than $200,000.

If you have (or are able to form) a formidable 3v3 Arena team, and you're not allergic to cash, then we recommend you check out the full announcement and FAQ for further details.
