The Battle.net World championship is just days away and Blizzard decided it's time to meet the teams.
The top ten arena teams from around the globe will descend on Shanghai, China on November 17. Two teams from each of the five regions will battle for the world championship and a share of $189,000 prize pool.

As you can see, the tournament features a mix of oldschool veterans and young blood. With an even split of regions, it really looks like a tournament that anyone can win. Last year's final showcased this with a USA vs Korea final which went right to the final map. This year we almost literally have a whole new game, not to mention new teams. Tune in from November 17 to find out who will emerge victorious.
