Episode 241 - Ten Years Later

Can you believe it’s been 10 years?! We are celebrating a decade of the Technically PVP Podcast! To mark this massive milestone, hosts Gerissar, BigMoran, and TreesapJake are joined once again by Blizzard Esports team member Adrian (aka Healingstat) to reflect on 10 years of World of Warcraft PvP history and break down some massive news for BlizzCon 2026. In this special anniversary episode, we look back at the biggest moments in WoW PvP history over the last decade—from the epic launch of Classic and Hardcore dueling tournaments to the game-changing introduction of Solo Shuffle. Plus, Adrian drops exclusive insights into BlizzCon 2026 (coming up this September!). We talk about the highly-anticipated single-elimination formats, regional rivalries between EU, NA, and China, the off-meta comps shaking up the scene, and the brand-new Classic Cup. 🎉 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY GIVEAWAY! 🎉 To thank you guys for 10 incredible years, we’re giving away 30 days of game time, 60 days of game time, and an epic World of Warcraft: Midnight Collector's Edition game code courtesy of Blizzard!
