WoW Radio, in partnership with Blizzard Entertainment, is proud to announce the “Pass the Torch” contest. Since we’re launching our new season on the same day as the Olympic games commence, we thought it would be appropriate to give our grand giveaway an olympic theme. Starting on the 8th of August, running through to the 12th, contestants will have to listen out for 5 ‘olympic rings’ (you’ll know them when you hear them), each of which contains a word. The torch will be passed from show to show, and each time it is, we’ll give out one of the secret words. When all 5 words are put together, they will form a phrase. Those who successfully complete the phrase, can email it to olympics@wcradio.com and will be entered into a grand prize draw to win a WWI card, which gives them beta access on either european, or US servers as well as the exclusive Tyrael vanity pet. What’s more, listeners have plenty of chances to win, since we have not one, not two, but twenty cards to give away! The contest is open to everyone, and the winners will be drawn and announced on the show ‘Blue Plz’ on Friday the 15th of August. Those who miss the live shows, can download the podcast shortly after the show ends, or stream it from the website. Check out https://www.wcradio.com for more details, including a list of the shows which each olympic ring will appear in.
