With the launch of the Shadowlands expansion, the 2021 edition of the Mythic Dungeon International even has kicked off in World of Warcraft.
A handful of teams are competing for the same prestigious award: a spot at the Grand Final — which takes place every year at BlizzCon — and possibly the title of World Champion.
