What better way to commemorate the Olympic Games than with a new vanity pet? Our friends at Blizzard have launched the new Spirit of Competition seasonal event, currently planned to repeat every two years tied to the Summer Olympics. This is primarily a Battleground event. Participating in the Battlegrounds yields a Competitor’s Tabard. Winning a Battleground gives a chance (currently estimated at about 20%) of earning a Gold Medallion, which summons a Spirit of Competition vanity pet – a small Chinese-style dragon. The event is slated to run from 8-24 August. Go for the Gold!
