In 2018 the WardiTV Summer Championship was an experimental event I ran to see how running a larger individual event would go which involved a mix of regions.It had a mixed response but overall it was a fun experience with Reynor coming out as the eventual champion.
So we're back, only bigger and better. More regions. More players. More prize money. Just more StarCraft 2! This will be the most adventurous event I have ever ran, so I hope you will join me on the journey that is the WardiTV Summer Championship 2019.
