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. Only if the players are on the same server, and the best players tend to be spread amongst several of the dozens of different servers, unlike SC2 which only has one for EU, one for NA, etc. As far as I know, there's no facility outside of Blizzard endorsed tournaments to be able to play against players on different live servers. | ||

It's not like its hard to set up a reliable stream these days... I don't get why they didn't do that. As an old wow player myself, I would have like to atleast tune in for a game or two, just to see how the game has evolved. | ||

The Burning Crusade: season 1-2 everything was new, people were having fun and didn't know what to do season 3-4 was really refined; there was imbalanced stuff but you could outplay the opponent and win. really fun although have to admit not many classes could compete. many people considering season 3 as the primetime of wow notable classes: warrior, rogue, warlock, druid Wrath of the Lich King: it was decently fun, but completely imbalanced. season 5 and 6 were the following 3 compositions: rogue/mage/priest, deathknight/warlock/healer and variations of paladin-deathknight-warrior-hunter season 7-8: double healer teams were really boring. also: SPELLCLEAVES (= a healer and 2 wizzards) meant we had to sit through 45 minutes of boredom till the game ended in draws also: globalling: people would randomly die in a second or 2 for no apparent reason except RNG cataclysm: I quit middle season 9 so don't have much info except this: everything got very... bland; most classes look alike, there is little synergy or uniqueness | ||

I'm not sure about the casters but the WoW matches are just PvP arena's. You dont need to know much other than one team basically has to kill the other. The classes they use themselves should easily tell you what each player's role in the group is. | ||

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. The game has much bigger problems than no spectator client. The biggest problem is RNG and huge imbalances between different compositions. It's an RPG, it was never ment to be a competitive title so I think it's good that it's primarily confined to blizzards own tournaments. | ||

But it just doesn't happen, its like in BW, there where barely any tournies. Yeah in theory they could have just set up a load of tournaments but it just doesn't happen really. Also in WoW I think you have to be on same realm and considering people are spread out over like 20 realms or so that have good players on em it just isn't viable. | ||

On the other hand, I brought Starcraft because I saw how exciting a competetive match was. Well it depends on what kind of team are fighting. I'm not really up to date(and I've always loathed arena, the game is PvE, deal with it), but it's not really fun to watch mana drain teams, and you will not really know what you are watching. On the other hand, you can/could have good teams to watch, but back in the day, yer it was either just long drawn out mana wars or instant gibs. But yer seeing as there are so many WoW players, needing to play WoW to understand what's going on isn't just as limiting as it would be for Star Craft. | ||

at the IEM finals in germany last year (iirc), the final match was morrow vs idra, which ended 4-1 for the no soul guy. take was the host and interviewer at that event, and after a quite long question from him to idra about the possible nerfs and patches on the game, idra's answer was like "could be" to which followed a moment of akward silence from take who was expecting a more indepth and thought argumentation. | ||
