UK esports and World of Warcraft (WoW) organisation Method are one of four teams taking part in BlizzCon Guild Clash this year.
And Method’s founder, Scott ‘Sco’ McMillan, is dusting off his keyboard and mouse to compete once again with his team.
BlizzCon Guild Clash is a new type of three-event tournament taking place at the annual celebration of all things Blizzard Entertainment, BlizzCon, from November 4th 2023 at the Anaheim Convention Center in the USA.
Method will join three other guilds taking part: Echo, Team Liquid and Golden Guardians.
The Guild Clash will feature single-elimination best-of-five 3v3 Arena PVP, as well as 5v5 Mythic Dungeon Races, and a ‘raid showcase’, a 10-player roster composed of a mix of players from four guilds venturing into the new raid dungeon, Amirdrassil, the Dream’s Hope (update: this raid showcase was eventually cancelled due to delays at BlizzCon).
On his return to competing, Sco posted a ‘how do you do, fellow kids?’ meme image of himself.
He will join Roiben, Sjele, Danwarr and Cruella on Method’s dungeon team, as they prepare to take part in the BlizzCon Guild Clash.
Spectators will be able to watch the BlizzCon Guild Clash activities live from BlizzCon and on the official World of Warcraft Twitch and YouTube channels.
Players on the different teams will also be able to livestream their own points of view from the streaming stations in the WoW hall at the event.
Method of course also compete in the Race to World First events in WoW, and late last year Method secured world third in the Dragonflight Vault of the Incarnates raid, which was won by Echo.
Earlier in 2023, Method also finished third in the Arberrus, the Shadowed Crucible Race to World First, which was won by Liquid.
