After breaking WoW Esports stream audience records in 2017, the Mythic Dungeon Invitational is back for it's second season. Method is excited to jump into this rising esport and welcome our first team, from the Americas region; Jdotb, Shakib, Darkee, Marvin and Mittbitt. This team has broken records and holds multiple +27 World Firsts, but don't take our word for it...check out how awesome they are for yourself:
With the MDI in its second year some things are changing and it's becoming a more focused competition, with all parts of the road being aimed at speed clears, leaving behind the speed clear portion for the Proving Grounds from last year. More portions of the series are being held on the tournament realm as well, eliminating live server gear discrepancies and advantages behind in favor of a more fair playground. There's also prize money for the regional part of the competition and the finals will be held at a LAN event, showing Blizzard's commitment to this new PvE esports format for World of Warcraft.
The Mythic Dungeon Invitational in 2017 was a big success. It is awesome that WoW PvE finally has its own competition hosted by Blizzard. Obviously we wanted to be involved with Method and are very happy to have this great team represent us in 2018. Welcome Shakib, Jdotb, Darkee, Marvin and Mittbitt! - Sascha Stephens, Method co-owner
And now let's take a better look at the team itself, with Shakib having to skip this year's MDI, because he lives in Quebec and therefore isn't eligible to play, but he's nevertheless joining Method's ranks as a streamer and influencer!
