BlizzCon is less than a month away, and that means the global finals for the Warcraft III and World of Warcraft Arena tournaments are right around the corner. Nethaera announced in a post on the official forums that the first-round brackets for both tournaments have been released. Competitors are fighting for the top prize of $25,000 per player, so these should be some interesting matches.
For the WoW tourney, x6tence will be taking on the Button Bashers, while DKP faces TSG. SK Gaming is against Woah, and Shipit will fight All Pass. You can view the full Arena bracker and team profiles here. You can also check out the Warcraft III bracket on this page of the BlizzCon site.
Also, members of the ZAM team will be at BlizzCon, so keep an eye on ZAM.com during the event for news and photos from the floor.
