Break the Meta is a special event developed to showcase and highlight each Season’s off-meta specs and classes. During the Competition Period, any Mythic+ keystone completed in-time on LIVE servers, with a group made up entirely of the BTM-Eligible Specs, will be counted towards the event. You’ll need to Register via the BTM Dragonflight Season 3 Event Hub for your runs to show up on the Leaderboards and to be eligible to win the amazing prizes.

The Competition Period lasts for the following dates and will begin and end with each region’s respective weekly server reset times:

Region	Tournament Dates
North America & Oceania	April 2nd - 16th
Europe	April 3rd - 17th
Taiwan & Korea	April 4th - 18th

BTM participation will be on an individual basis, and completed via the BTM Registration Form. This means that you can play with any number of people throughout the event in various groups, and it will not affect your prize eligibility or progress, as long as every member of the group plays a BTM-Eligible spec. Registration is open NOW and will close at 11:59pm PDT on April 20th, 2024.
Meta vs. Meta

Raider.IO

In past BTM events, we have always, as a rule, made sure to include at least one spec per class. This is done to ensure that nobody is barred from participating in the event, if they happen to only have one character and it just so happens to be one where every spec is considered “meta”. However, this time around we’re straying from this rule, and we can blame the Demon Hunters for this one!

Unfortunately, both Demon Hunter specs are so incredibly strong this Season, that we feel it would be counter to the purpose and integrity of Break the Meta to include either of them. Vengeance would certainly be ineligible, but Havoc is also so prominent in higher keys right now, that if we included it just for the purpose of having Demon Hunters be eligible, we would just see the highest keys being completed by triple DH groups.

But we don’t want to leave all our Demon Hunter friends hanging, so we’re happy to introduce a brand new special event: Meta vs. Meta!

MVM will work similarly to Break the Meta, with the same prize offerings listed above, but in order to have a dungeon be considered MVM-Eligible, it must be completed in-time and contain ONLY Demon Hunters! That’s right, this is a 5x Demon Hunter event… an Eyebeam Extravaganza!

Complete 2 MVM-Eligible dungeons at +17 or higher and earn the exclusive Dreaming Banner of the Aspects!
Push MVM-Eligible dungeons and get yourself to the top of the Vengeance and Havoc Leaderboards to win 60 days WoW Gametime
Each MVM-Eligible dungeon completed while using the Raider.IO Desktop Client with Live Tracking enabled will also earn you a raffle entry to win the BTM Prize Bundle

Prizes

Smoldering Banner of the Aspects

We are once again partnering with Blizzard for BTM to provide players another opportunity to earn the Dreaming Banner of the Aspects! This in-game toy was made available to participants of the various WoW Esports programs this Season, including the MDI and AWC. However, those opportunities to get the exclusive toy have come and gone, so we’re excited to provide one more chance to collect this awesome in-game item through BTM, and we’ve extended this Season’s event to a two-week period to ensure ample opportunity to do so!

Register for the event and complete at least 2 BTM-Eligible timed keystones at level +17 or higher during the Competition Period, and the Dreaming Banner of the Aspects will be automatically added to your collection in-game within approximately 30 days of the conclusion of the event.

⚠️The dungeon level requirement has been increased this Season to +17 to mirror the requirements set by Blizzard to earn the toy via MDI Time Trials⚠️

World of Warcraft Game Time

Break the Meta is, after all, a competition, so we will be awarding this set of prizes to the winners of the event! The players who achieve the highest Mythic+ Character Score for each of the eligible specializations will win 60 days of WoW Game Time. There will be one winner per spec for all three regions, for a total of 72 winners.

BTM Prize Bundle

We like being able to award one prize that does not have any requirements in terms of keystone levels or Raider.IO Score, to give all players an opportunity to win something. This Season, we’re offering the BTM Prize Bundle, a collection of the following wondrous in-game prizes:

60 days World of Warcraft Game Time
The Sylverian Dreamer Blizzard Store Mount
The Celestial Observer Ensemble Transmog Set
The Lil' Ursoc Blizzard Store Pet

Lil’ Ursoc Blizzard Store Pet

In order to win the BTM Prize Bundle, you must complete BTM-Eligible dungeons during the Competition Period while using the Raider.IO Client with Live Tracking enabled. Every completed keystone, regardless of keystone level, earns you 1 entry into the raffle, and one lucky winner will be chosen after the event ends! This prize is only available to players in the NA, EU and TW regions.

⚠️Dungeons without Live Tracking will not count as an entry for the BTM Prize Bundle.⚠️
