Path of Exile News

The Third and second to last ExileCon Qualifier event begins in 30 minutes and you are now able to join the event. Who will join imexile and tytykiller at the ExileCon Finale in July? Tune into the official stream at twitch.tv/pathofexile to find out in this nailbiting race, casted by ZiggyD and RaizQT!

If you aren't able to compete in today's event, there is still one last ExileCon Qualifier after this one, same time next week on Thursday at 2PM PDT! For more information about Qualifier events and their prizepool, check out this announcement.

We also want to remind everyone that the use of inappropriate character and stream names during your run will result in disqualification from this event or future race events in the series. You can find out more in our PSA last week here.

We'd also like to mention that while the event is fixed seed, when Einhar spawns by chance in an area, he can slightly affect parts of the layout of the zone but the rest of the area will be the same.

If you missed the last couple of qualifiers, you can check out the VOD of the first qualifier here or the second qualifier here!

Good luck everyone!
