WoW's story goes well beyond how most people understand the video game. On the other hand, the AWC is fueled by literally anyone. As long as a team has what it takes to dominate the qualifying stages, it will make it into the AWC.
Warcraft has had its fair share of significant moments in the past. With big name organizations, massive prize pools, and great viewership, WoW will make tremendous strides in 2022 and beyond. The event has already been validated, and there is no denying that AWC is here to stay.
Method Black
Method Black was 2019's Arena World Champions. The 2019 win saw the team secure a second year of Method's dominance in the PvP category. 2019s win saw them take on Wildcard Gaming for a second time after beating them in the upper finals. This win followed Method Black's all-year dominance in the EU season.
Method Black goes down in history as the first champions of the 2020 Warcraft AWC season. The EU squad won the EU Cup 1 Grand Finals. This historic win came after a hard-fought contest that lasted seven games before Method Black scraped a win. This team is run by the Method Organization, which runs North America's Method Orange, which is highly ranked in the Americas.
Cloud 9
Cloud9 is undoubtedly a leading force in AWC. Following its relatively brief stay in the World of Warcraft Arena in 2015, Cloud9 was back into the tournament in 2019 and quickly made its intentions known. This North American team has won back-to-back AWC titles, positioning itself among North America's top-tier teams.
Cloud9 is owned by Cloud9 Esports, Inc., an organization that has been actively participating in numerous eSport leagues over the years, making it a household name among punters betting on eSport tournaments.
Method Orange
Method Orange made history by winning the AWC in 2018. This win came after a long season and a number-1 finish in the Americas region. The 2018 season saw Method Orange eliminate their European counterparts. The finals were somewhat anticlimactic after Method Orange only needed four wins from the seven-game final. This win also underscored how strong the 2018 team was.
ABC
2017's Arena World eSport Championships took place at Anaheim Convention Center in South Califonia. A European team, ABC, won after beating the NA team Panda Global. This was undoubtedly one of those easy finals for ABC beating Panda Global 4-0.
