After a successful year of the WardiTV 2022 Series was rounded out by Reynor becoming the WardiTV 2022 Champion, we are extremely excited to announce the WardiTV 2023 Series! We gave out $30,000+ of Prize Money in these events last year and are aiming for more this year!
Our goal is to continue integrating all WardiTV events, allowing a more streamlined qualification process into larger tournaments while also upping the stakes in each event. Events of different sizes will provide mixed formats and ways to participate for players, culminating at the end of the year with our WardiTV 2023 Championship with players qualifying directly from wining major events or through the WardiTV Points system.
Find below details of what you can look forward to throughout the year.
WardiTV Opens (Monthly)
Starting with the already announced WardiTV January Open, we will have a monthly open tournament that anybody can sign-up to. This is simply a one day event and prizing will scale with the number of players that check-in to the tournament.
Winners will qualify directly to the next major event we host while others will be able to grab a good chunk of WardiTV points in these events.
WardiTV Invitationals
We never like to have a week go by where StarCraft isn't on the menu! Our invitational events will usually have limited qualifying slots, with the rest of the players being invited (we often give priority to players who participate in our open events and qualifiers!)
Invitationals are meant to be a step up from the open events and will typically be played out over a few days. Players can expect $1,000+ prize pools and playing in a group stage followed by a playoff bracket. These events will act as "pop-up" events, typically filling quiet periods in the overall SC2 calendar.
WardiTV Championships
You know them and you love them - our most popular and highly viewed events of the year are back once again! We are guaranteeing the return of the WardiTV Winter, Spring & Summer Championships (pending enough space in the calendar to run each properly.) We will also welcome back the WardiTV European League for another year of competition.
These events are bigger prize pools, with the strongest competition and a chance to directly qualify to the end of year WardiTV 2023 Championship. Expect prize pools of $5,000+ for each of these, with varying group stage and bracket formats.
WardiTV 2023
Rounding out the year will be our fourth annual championship - WardiTV 2023. WardiTV 2022 saw some amazing matches and was a great celebration of all the players we had competing in our events throughout the year, and we hope we can make WardiTV 2023 just as amazing.
WardiTV 2023 will have a very low amount of invites (2-4) compared to the 24 player roster, as it is meant to be a final for the players that have competed in the WardiTV events throughout the year, earning points or qualifying from our Championship events. We will be aiming for a $10,000 prize pool, but as with all of our events this will vary depending on success of the stream and support throughout the year.
