So to get one of these prestigious places teams will have to go through the gruelling championship stages shown here:
For the first time, this year Blizzard are allowing teams to have an extra member. This will give teams more flexibility when it comes to decided which 3 man composition to fight with. They say it will allow teams to spend less time worrying about what particular set up the other teams are going to be using and allow them to focus more on playing their best and making the tournament more fun to watch.
Over the coming weeks more details will be revealed on how and where to watch these qualifying matches so keep it tuned to Gamespresso.com for all the information on that as we’ll be keeping tabs on who’s going to be competing for that huge cash prize at Blizzcon 2015 later this year.
