Blizzard announced the imminent launch of special championship servers. Since April, anyone can pay the N-th sum of money, and take part in mass battles in the arena in the format of 3 to 3. The total prize fund of more than 200 thousand ever-killed raccoons. The team that won first place gets 75 thousand.
