Come on, Carmac, you saw that Socke was very sad and wanted to be alone. Why did you force him to pose? That kid would have been cool with posing with Tarson.

I feel for the WoW players , they have no tournaments at all.
Can't they actually set up tournaments themselves nowadays though?
I'm not that active in Cataclysm, but I'm pretty sure I've seen an interface option to organize games between two preset teams. Though I might have got the wrong idea as well, but that's how it looked like.
It seems like a nice feature to help fans kickstart the scene if they're dedicated enough.
They can but they have to be on the same realm (or Arena realm) and there is no spectator client

The community although much less prominent with the release of SC2 still exists and a majority of them would love WoW to peak back to its former success.
Its not possible to understand whats happening unless you PvP yourself, which is a big problem. On the other hand, I brought Starcraft because I saw how exciting a competetive match was.

TB was casting the Heroic Fireland's raid by paragon WoW's #1 PvE guild.
Hmm, didnt TB leave WoW cause he was so dissappointed with blizz etcetc?
i remember when he did that, he did it at dreamhack in between sc2 breaks.

Well, the thing is that there was a scene but it died because WoW is a shit esport that's only watchable by hardcore players themselves.
I don't think it'll ever be revived, especially since last years Blizzcon was millions of 45 minute games between LSD's, god, was that shit boring and I even was still into WoW back then.
I don't watch WoW, but i do feel they could have easily put on a 2nd stream for WoW so that everyone could enjoy the tournament. It's not like its hard to set up a reliable stream these days...

He stopped doing WoW content like Azeroth Daily and that, but live streams of raids especially with the top guild are rare and far between, and since he was there and a known WoW person probably asked him to cast it.
