San Diego, CA - The top eight qualifying finishers for World of Warcraft's season one Arena Tournament have gathered at the House of Blues in San Diego to compete for the US Regional Qualifiers. This tournament pits the top remaining teams against each other in a double-elimination bracket, with the top three placing teams at this event moving on to the WoW Arena Finals at Blizzcon.

Matches are set to begin shortly here at Blizzard's US Regional Finals after the first round of Warcraft 3 concludes. The WoW Teams have had several hours this morning to check and adjust their setups, polishing the default UI (user interface) with their keybinds and personal macros. Players seemed happy with the quality of the rigs, saying that they were very fast and responsive on high settings.

Characters have been copied straight from the event server, so any recent items or tradeskill upgrades from the latest patch are not likely to be seen at this event. Charlie 'Teverion' Williams from Hells Ham Basket was worried previously in the week given the large amount of survivability upgrades his team had made in the last few weeks on the live servers, and it seems now that those items will not be in play here at the event.

GotFrag's Coverage of Blizzard's US Regional Finals begins live today in San Diego. We'll have your match previews and recaps, player interviews, interviews with the Blizzard team and more! Stay tuned.
