Bring your pew pew, not your QQ.

GameSpot is reporting that Blizzard has announced a new global E-Sports World of Warcraft Tournament with a grand prize of $75,000 USD. Don't have a level 70? No problem. They can magic one up for you.

The global tournaments will use the game's arena system and take place within special realms where gamers can instantly craft level 70 (the highest experience level currently attainable) characters with "epic equipment" to do battle with others online.

Starting in April, there will be two rounds of online qualifiers in Europe, South Korea, North America, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau. Entry will cost £12 in Europe, 20,000 won in South Korea, $20 in North America, and NT$450 in the other three regions. The qualifiers will run for six weeks, and teams will play 3-vs-3 matches, with the top four teams advancing to the regional finals. Winners of the regional finals will then vie for a slice of $27,000 in cash prizes, and the winners of the global championship will net themselves a $75,000 grand prize.
