The best teams in World of Warcraft are getting together to join the Mythic Dungeon Invitational Global Finals at this year's BlizzCon. As the Anaheim Convention Center crowd looks on, these teams will look to race to the finish first, completing some of WoW's most challenging dungeons and taking home a big cash prize in the process.

The WoW Mythic Dungeon Invitational prize pool is $330,000.
