Drakedog was so awesome to watch. If you don't know, go check Drakedog 4, it's on Youtube. At the very beginning there's a fight against a Retribution paladin. Now for those who don't know, Ret paladins were pretty much the laughing stock in terms of PvP. Their damage output compared to other classes were pathetic, but they could heal and survive longer. Anyway, in that fight he gave DD a run for his money. DD killed him just barely, had to use almost all his CD. It was a very fun fight to watch, as how terrible that class was in Vanilla. Koreans man. Doesn't matter it's Sc or anything, they know how to tear em up. | ||

Then aAa complained and one of the refs saw they were like 10 seconds overtime. So they had to replay the last game and aAa won. Just gonna put a firm end to these beliefs: Being someone who actually saw it, and also followed the huge cluster-fuck that was the thread on AJ (WoW forum) - aAa had won the game on DMG several minutes before they died. It wasn't seconds, it was MINUTES. The seconds were just a rumour / failcommunication. :p So no drama there, if I remember correctly. I know of several people who play other games who sued to be pro in wow / cs =P Can't mention them though or they'll murder me o0 | ||

From Quake to CS to WC3, to WoW, Halo to COD etc. etc. One minute everyone supports you, the tournaments, the fans, the big organizations and then bam out of nowhere everyone is gone, tournaments drop you, fans don't care about you. They are all onto a new game calling the game you're a pro at all sorts of negative names and praising the new game they are all hyped up over. Were seeing it now with League of Legends and all the pros of LoL will be left in the dark with their hands in the air once the collective drones move onto the next big "esport" game. Blizzard killed competitive WoW with rated battlegrounds and "balancing" for them. They for the most part were just sick of trying to balance a game that could not be balanced, there are just too many abilities. Furthermore the only reason WoW ever had a competitive scene with sponsors and a place at MLG was because there were 12 million people playing it. Valve and Riot's games only have competitive modes, and WoW's was an experiment that failed. If I remember correctly they even said that "arena was a mistake" right before they killed it in Cata. | ||

I understand why something like WoW arena was killed. That's not really my point though. Pro gamers from different games such as CS, Quake, Halo even Brood War, and it will happen with League of Legends in the future, all take the same fall because of the way people move from game to game. | ||

Not really true. What was a mistake was attempting to balance for PvE, RBG's and Arena all at the same time. For people to hate on WoW pro's they'd have to also ignore GW1, which was one of the first big eSports. If WoW had just made a PvP only game, and only balanced for that, it would have been really fun and competitive. But as it was, some retarded raid change would break the entire competitive meta, and that is just completely unacceptable for a competitive game. | ||
