Today is the 451st day of Blizzard's national server suspension
。 Welcome to continue to pay attention to the latest news of "World of Warcraft", a large-scale online dating chat room game that is currently popular all over the world, and will soon have a national server.
The Riyadh World Cup has a prize of 430 million yuan, and the Chinese team is directly invited, and the service time needs to be before July
From a tweet posted by the Esports World Cup 2024 in Riyadh,
it
The "Overwatch 2" competition project, which has been waiting for the official announcement of the national server, has also recently announced the information of all 16 teams.
AMONG THEM, WE CAN SEE THAT THE TEAM IN THE LOWER LEFT CORNER IS INVITE - TEAM FROM CHINA.
This fully shows that the organizers of the Riyadh World Cup have already been informed of the news of the reopening of the national server in advance, and have already reserved empty seats for the national team at the end of last month.
And now that Blizzard and NetEase have been officially announced, the list is finally completed.
Xiao O shared with you before that Saudi Arabia's Esports World Cup was originally announced in October 2023, and according to reports at the time, this grand one
The tournament will be held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, around July 2024
, which will last up to 8 weeks.
The tournament will feature the largest prize pool in esports history, and Blizzard's Overwatch 2 is on the list of events.
Since the World Cup is coming up in July, and only regions with Overwatch games are allowed to participate, then
Overwatch of the national server needs to be opened before the start of the competition in July
。
In addition, Saudi Arabia officially announced that the total prize money of the first esports World Cup to be held this summer will exceed an unprecedented 60 million US dollars (more than 430 million yuan). The Middle Eastern tyrants are really rich and capricious!
This huge prize pool is distributed as follows:

Blizzard in the United States has begun to work overtime, and the national server may be launched in advance
Let's take another piece of news, today in the group, a very reliable friend broke the news to Xiao O, saying that he has a friend who works at Blizzard in the United States, and yesterday suddenly came to a project that needs to work overtime, and it is large and time-consuming
。
We know that the work on Blizzard's side is basically step-by-step, and there is no situation where a big project suddenly comes and needs to work overtime, and it is extremely difficult to ask Yankees to work overtime. According to the current situation, it is not difficult to speculate that these contents are most likely related to the national uniform.
Because the progress of the national server and the world server has long been derailed, the current reopened version has basically been determined, if it is a special version, then it is indeed necessary to work overtime.
We also know from the previous report, that is, NetEase's servers and computer rooms and other hardware are ready, and what is missing is the access of Blizzard technicians. Therefore, if Blizzard has turned on the overtime mode, then the time for the national server to be launched may really be advanced.
