The Mythic+ Charity Pro-Am is HERE! All of the hard work has paid off and the event is underway over on the Complexity Twitch Channel. We want to say a big thank you to everyone that has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make this happen. We also want to thank our players for participating and our broadcasters for putting on a great show. Most importantly, we would like to thank our sponsors Twitch, GreenbergTraurig LLP, Blue, Nations, and Wowhead. Without their generosity this event would not have been possible.
But the most important part of the Mythic+ Charity Pro-Am is the amazing charitable causes that our teams are battling on behalf of. These 5 non-profit organizations are doing incredible work throughout the country and we are so proud to be able to support them. Our sponsors have made it possible for us to provide a $10,000.00 prize pool, 100% of which will be donated to the 5 represented charities. The amount each charity will earn depends on how well their teams place in the tournament!
But we can do more! Below you will find information on each of the organizations, the teams representing them, and information on how to donate directly to support their missions. Join forces with your favourite World of Warcraft players to help support these causes by contributing a donation today!
