Aloha! At BlizzCon 2018 we want you to be able to experience the most fantastic races ever with the MDI All-Stars.
Guide to Viewing BlizzCon MDI All-Stars
We love the excitement around the Mythic Dungeon Invitational Playoffs in World of Warcraft, where the world's best PvE teams compete to complete Mythic + dungeons as quickly and efficiently as possible.
At BlizzCon 2018 we want you to be able to experience the most fantastic races ever with the MDI All-Stars. We've invited exceL's Angels, Method NA, Method PogChamp, and Free Marsy to show us what they're worth in the dungeons of Kul Tiras and Zandalar. The race will be streamed live from the BlizzCon stage, where teams will compete for the bragging rights of being the first MDI champions of Battle for Azeroth.
what you need to know
Tournament modality: Best of three with direct elimination. The final will also be the best of three.
Dungeons: This is the first Mythic Dungeon Invitational to be held in Battle for Azeroth and you have to celebrate it as it deserves. We want to see how some of the best guilds in the world perform against every possible dungeon in Battle for Azeroth, so we have preselected the teams for each game. Of course, Mythic Keystones will be level 13 (hard), but these pros can handle it all! The competition is as follows:
| ExceL's Angels vs. Free Marsy | Method NA vs. Method PogChamp | Winner 1 vs. Winner 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Rotten Catacombs | Sethraliss Temple | MOTHER VETA |
| Atal'Dazar | Free Fort | Altar of the Storm |
| Tol dagor | Kings' Rest | Waycrest Mansion |
Affixes: MDI All-Stars dungeons will have four pre-selected affixes. As we are in season 1 of Battle for Azeroth, all dungeons will use the seasonal affix Infected, which applies Symbiote of G'huun to certain enemies. This causes other enemies to regenerate 10% of their maximum health within an eight meter radius every three seconds. As soon as an infected enemy is killed, two G'huun spawns will run towards the nearest non-boss enemies and that They will infect unless players can control and destroy them quickly. Damn elusive symbiotes ...
But that is not all! Here's a list of each dungeon and its four pre-selected affixes:
| Dungeon | Affix 1 | Affix 2 | Affix 3 | Affix 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rotten Catacombs | Reinforced | Sanguine | painful | Infected |
| Atal'Dazar | Tyrannical | Overflowing | Volcanic | Infected |
| Tol dagor | Reinforced | Overflowing | Restless | Infected |
| Sethraliss Temple | Reinforced | Potentiating | Explosive | Infected |
| Free Fort | Tyrannical | Potentiating | Restless | Infected |
| Kings' Rest | Tyrannical | Overflowing | Seismic | Infected |
| MOTHER VETA | Tyrannical | Furious | Necrotic | Infected |
| Altar of the Storm | Reinforced | Sanguine | painful | Infected |
| Waycrest Mansion | Tyrannical | Sanguine | Explosive | Infected |
