Arena Tourney 2011: Murkimus Rises Again!

UPDATE: The official dates for ranked 3v3 matches that count towards the 50 games necessary to earn the pet are June 8, 2011 - July 4, 2011.

If you missed your chance at an armored murloc pet in previous years, now's your chance! Murkimus the Gladiator returns for yet another year of games in Blizzard's special Arena Tournament.

The tournament starts on May 10, 2011 and ends on July 4, 2011, however registration is now open for North American residents. Registration for EU players should be opened shortly.

Eligibility
To be eligible for the armored murloc pet, players must:

• Have an active World of Warcraft subscription and account that has been upgraded to the Cataclysm expansion.
• Register and pay a registration fee (€15/￡12 in Europe; $20 in North America; and NT$450 in the regions of Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macau).
• Have a 3-member team (yourself included).
• Participate in at least 50 rated games within the last four weeks of the special Arena Tournament while on said team.

According to Blizzard:

The characters that players use to qualify for the above prizes must play all of their qualifying games on the same team and must remain on that team for the duration of the Arena Pass. If a player leaves their team at any time, it may void their eligibility by resetting the number of games needed to be played. The live characters players wish to receive the in-game prizes must be on the same account as the one registered for the Arena Pass.

Good luck and have fun to all those entering!
