It appears passes will go on sale on Sept. 17 next month. It’s hard to guess what activities they will add but I do agree that worlds is currently a bit lacking as a spectator and non-competitor. Some extra participation events would enhance the experience quite a bit. What are your thoughts on this? I’m personally excited, cautiously optimistic, and curious at the same time.

I was just taking a look at this. So if we pay for this XP weekend pass with the arena thing, is that the same as having a weekend spectator pass for previous Worlds?

Also if we miss out on buying on in September, do you think we will still be able to get a weekend spectator pass from a player come closer to Worlds?
