Before I come to Bill Gates, I have to talk about one of two of my master's (Prof. Dr. Phil. Stefan Asmus having also earned a black belt in Karate) masters named Bazon Brock (Niklas Luhmann is the other). Based on something he learned from Bazon Brock, Asmus explained their definition of fascism. The time was somewhere between 2003 and 2005, I don't recall precisely anymore. Essentially, fascism is going from theoretic discussions to actually using your full potential. Not only Goebbels, but also Pol Pot, were warning examples. In short, ditching project 13001Frioul, leaving him stranded and going to Israel and starting to play World of Warcraft was something that also earned his respect. When I joined my brother's business consultancy, he was less supportive, but when asked him to be a business-reference for me, he agreed in 2015 or 2016 without us having exchanged more than three emails in a decade.
My World of Warcraft career went from awe when leading our guilds raid to victory against Ragnaros and especially Vaelastrasz. We weren't able to progress past the Twin Emperors because I tried to bring everyone who would agree to not using voice chat. Following our failure in Ahn'Qiraj our raid slowly fell apart, and I started to focus more on role playing and PvP.
Time is short, so let's add a little game. Does anyone get, why the last match is by far the most spectacular?
it's really hard to tell since you don't have omni bar on... that pally is super unlucky. he hit you with something, you stayed in stealth without vanishing a hoj or anything. you didn't even trade blind for trinket, which is the standard interaction since forever. sorry, rogue's popping all their shit and locking out a pally so he can't bubble is more on the pally's fault than anything else.

Not quite. It's my first move (called Sap) against the enemy Hunter (green). To be fair, no one except me and the enemy Hunter truly understood what happened. Compare the number of views with the content (or my rogue guide with six digits later=. No one watched that video because at least 80% of the views are Tru (healer in the 3v3 matches) and me.
I'll wait a bit longer, but unless you are a WoW PvP expert, there is pretty much no chance to understand it.
Some catching up with legendary WoW videos and to explain why WoW arena was actually a respectable esport at some point.
Maybe I'll find the best arena match of all time... There it is, starting at 06:40. This match is ungodly skill by both teams, but the Korean team didn't have the rogue they had when they won the 1v2. The Dignitas team is probably the best of all time for their respective classes, but players like Reckful (may he rest in peace) may disagree.
After the BWC Snutz (one of the winners and in contest of being the best warlock of all time), Reckful, some others and I partied in Shanghai. Then Snutz, Byron (Reckful) and me went to my hotel room in the 48th floor, smoked cigarettes, drank vodka until both of them fell asleep in my bed. I have a photo of them, but I would find it disrespectful to post it on the internet. If you don't believe me, try to ask Snutz, I'm sure he remembers,
Edit: I decided against revealing what made that Sap so special. Instead, I decided on something worthy of tl.net - to shamelessly link to my rogue guide and my own video: + Show Spoiler +
About the BWC, there was also an SC2 tournament, that was mostly ignored by the Chinese fans. And they went crazy about WoW arena. I saw Scarlett in the lobby, but she had a match against Parting and seemed too focussed for small talk. At some point, I talked briefly with Day9 because it was White-Ra's birthday and some WoW friend was also from Ukraine, but he was too timid to ask Day9 himself. After that meeting, I never watched Day9 again. Everyone from the SC2 crowd made fun of Parting because he had a pink mouse, and I flew back with Socke and a German eSport blogger. Socke should remember the guy that shared nicotine gums with him. One thing was odd - the WoW crowd was partying, drinking and f***ing, while the SC2 crowd did nothing, even after the event was finished. We didn't see the Koreans, but the Western SC2 crowd didn't have the Homestory Cup, yet.
