After a weekend of PvP action, teams Kawhi and Kungarna became the World of Warcraft Arena World Championship Cup 4 winners, claiming their third weekly victory. By reaching 420 and 460 points, respectively, both teams earned a place in the Circuit.
Now the World of Warcraft Arena World Championship Global Finals is the ultimate goal, alongside part of the $700,000 total prize pool.
Three weekly victories for Kawhi and Kungarna
On March 18, teams began duking it out against each other for points toward the Circuit. The matches began every Friday, with the action culminating in championship Sunday and a chance at the lion’s share of the $10,000 prize pool per region. Under the double elimination and best-of-five format, World of Warcraft teams battled for a place in the weekly finals, which featured best-of-seven matches.
Kawhi and Kungarna took home the gold in the first week of matches while North America’s Team Liquid and Europe’s SK Pieces secured a victory in the second week. However, when it came down to week three, Kawhi and Kungarna yet again won the crown.
This was followed by another successful week for these teams, as they achieved victory in World of Warcraft Arena World Championship Cup 4 on April 10. When Kawhi fought their way to the top on Sunday, they went up against Cloud9 in the finals and earned a score of 4-1. Meanwhile, Kungarna achieved a 4-2 score against LF Org in their last game.
World of Warcraft Arena World Championship
During match point on April 10, Kawhi and Cloud9 fought in the Black Rook Hold arena. Kawhi’s team composition consisted of a Paladin, Rogue and Priest, while Cloud9 opted for Priest, Warlock and Mage. Kawhi focused on getting a mana advantage by pressuring each of their opponents, with their Rogue using Bone Spike and doing split damage as a Necrolord.
The players almost secured a kill on the enemy Warlock during the game, but Cloud9’s Priest came through with a clutch heal. However, that heal couldn’t overcome Kawhi’s continued pressure before the Rogue cloaked to ignore crowd control and burst down the enemy Warlock.
As for the European region, Kungarna earned their victory after going up against LF Org in Black Rook Hold during match point. The team’s Priest, Mage and Rogue faced LF Org’s Priest, Warlock and Mage. Kungarna’s Mage burst down the enemy Mage’s health total, with the latter player healing up and kiting hits. But Kungarna didn’t give in, using a blind and cloak to their advantage before taking down the Mage and closing out World of Warcraft Arena World Championship Cup 4.
