The MDI is coming to Blizzcon 2018!

It is officially 11 days until Blizzcon and some really big things are happening this year for professional World of Warcraft players.

With the addition of the Mythic Dungeon Invitational (MDI) tournament that Blizzard implemented into World of Warcraft, an even larger percentage of top WoW players are flocking to this year’s Blizzcon event to witness the top 4 M+ teams in the world battle head-to-head on the big stage for the first time in WoW’s PvE history.

In WoW, the Esports scene has always consisted of PvP arena tournaments. This is the first time that PvE has made it to the main stage, which is a huge deal considering how PvE has always been seen in the competitive Esports scene. Esports have typically been limited to games with a direct player-versus-player aspect, which is why M+ is a such a unique combination of the best aspects of both PvE and PvP. Everyone in the M+ WoW community is ready to see the top 4 world teams compete live and network with their favorite players.

Becoming an Esports athlete has always seemed unattainable to someone like me, since I started gaming late in life and felt more connected to PvE than PvP in WoW. However, M+ allows someone like me to really excel. This week, I made it to top 4 Brewmaster monk tanks in the North American region and top 9 Brewmaster monk tanks in the world. This is a pretty big accomplishment, since I will be meeting a lot of the prominent people in my industry in 11 days and success as a streamer in this field comes largely from success in the game. Additionally, my stream gained a lot of traction this week and I broke over ten thousand followers to my Twitch channel. I look forward to seeing the M+ invitational competition at Blizzcon more than anything else, since I hope to one day be on that stage. What are you most excited for at Blizzcon this year? See you all there!
