The reason the PvP scene survived through BC and WotLK is because of the VERY large player base of the game who tune in to find out who will win. Lots of pride and shit talking, made it kinda interesting.

I remember, in the old school system, I had rank... some around 9/10/11

alliance rank was called sth with lieutenant-commander or whatever

can't believe I wasted 6years playing that game, while I could have gotten into SC:BW and into this wonderfull community soo much sooner <3

That basically sums up the relation between 2gd and Zalmah .

Sad thing, for all the WoW newbs, is that both RMP's lost in the round prior to this (to the teams that we'll see now), RMP v RMP has always been exciting, and I think that would've been a better match.

Arena was fun S2-3 and actually competitive 3v3 and 5v5. But the game has gone to hell.

From a player's perspective, it was imbalanced and painfully random at times

From a spectator's perspective, Blizzard added so many abilities and shit, that you will never understand what is totally going on, unless you've played the game at the highest level. There is no time to explain it either.

PvP isn't meant to be watched. The reason the PvP scene survived through BC and WotLK is because of the VERY large player base of the game who tune in to find out who will win. Lots of pride and shit talking, made it kinda interesting.

SO funny! At the BLC prize ceremony at Dreamhack, 2GD said when giving the check that he would buy a bazooka with the money. Zalmah was on stage too for some reason. I laughed so much.

I'll be watching this, but it still boggles my mind that Blizzard doesn't promote RBG as their WoW ESPORT at all. It would be so much better from a spectator perspective.

So who's playing in Showtime and Victorinox?

I remember seeing that, it was pretty epic, but also shows the problem with Arena as a spectator sport. OrangeMarmalade (its nice that Korean WoW players go for the same type of names as SC players) does a lot of super amazing things, but its too complicated even for commentators to explain.

While SC also has these tricks that many of us will never know, you can at least get the idea of what's happening when a player shows some amazing skill. For example Strelok dropping everywhere against Naniwa.

If Blizzard supported it properly it could have still been great. There's a definite market for a balanced class basedmarena, or objective style, game with WoWs control system.

the vanilla ranks have always been about time and communication, worst system ever.
