$7,000 WardiTV Summer Championship 2021

Get your shorts and sunglasses on because it's SUMMER TIME! The WardiTV Summer Championship is back after taking it's own vacation last year (did we even have a summer last year, really?) and we're heating it up to be a big one as always!

The Summer Championship has been planned in coordination with the Winter & Spring Championship events this year but will have it's own format so it can standalone - though we aren't doing anything too complicated! With a Pool Party to kick it all off followed by the Prelims at the Beach, the run up to the Main Event itself is already sounding exciting as players are going to be booking up their spots!

ALL TOURNAMENT DATES LISTED HERE MAY CHANGE - THIS IS DUE TO THE ONGOING "THERE IS SO MUCH STARCRAFT 2 HAPPENING" SITUATION WHICH WE ARE TRYING TO BE VERY RESPECTFUL OF!
