I actually never even saw a WoW match, will give it a whirl. Yeah I am going to check it out. Never watched "pro WoW" ... 
Yup. Used to watch the MLG matches every now and then even without knowing wtf was going on. :3

WoW tourneys were actually pretty cool to watch back in the days. When 2gd was commentating that was...

The Naniwa-Ret rivalry is much bigger than Naniwa-ThorZain IMO. Ret and Naniwa have played each other alot and also seem to dislike each other quite alot.

I shouldn't laugh because it's terrible but i did.

Oh well, hopefully Nani wins the final now!
$3000 for Thorzain, good to see him get his first big prize money since TSL3

Blizzard doesn't even try seriously to balance arena anymore and they have pretty much admitted that since the end of WotLK.

I take from the WoW hype pic above that WoW is not 1x1?

I watched wow yesterday with an open mind and it didn`t really work out for me lol I`ll pass today
The spectating/commentating/games was much better today though.

I honestly don't know who I want to win. Both are so deserving and amazing players.

Nah, the Thorzain, Nani rivalry is bigger because of the stage of TSL 3 and then them both being swedish and them being good friends also. imo at least I view nani vs tzain as a bigger rivalry,

AMS - Anti-Magic Shell, Death Knight skill. Creates a shield that lasts 5 seconds (or 50% of the Death Knight's health, which is around 60k HP) that prevents CC and reduces incoming magic damage by 75%. AMZ - Anti-Magic Zone, Death Knight skill. Creates a big purple bubble that lasts 30 seconds that reduces spell damage to friendly members inside it by 75%. Lasts a certain amount of HP before it disappears. Lichborne - Death Knight skill. Makes the Death Knight Undead, which makes him immune to charm, fear and sleep effects. Also allows him to heal himself with Death Coil. Fear - Warlock skill, caused by Fear, Death Coil and Howl of Terror. Forces anyone hit by it to wander around, unable to attack or cast or control their character until it wears off or they are attacked. Sheep - Polymorph, Mage skill. Turns the target into an animal, where they regenerate their HP quickly, but are unable to cast skills, attack or control their character. Breaks on damage. Hex - A polymorph-type skill, Shaman skill. Does the same thing as Polymorph except it doesn't regenerate their HP. Counterspell - Multiple spells cause this. Interrupts the current spell being cast and makes it so the person who is counterspelled cannot cast spells from that school (e.g. a Mage who has his Frostbolt counterspelled cannot cast Frost spells for a certain amount of time). Trinket - A 2-minute cooldown item that breaks any sort of crowd control (Hex, Fear, Sheep, Silence, etc.) on you. If I'm not mistaken, the finals are Shadowcleave (Shaman, Death Knight, Warlock) vs. Wizardcleave (Shaman, Mage, Warlock) so anything listed before is still relevant. This is for people who haven't played WoW before. I can't guarantee the quality of the matches, as I personally don't think WoW is a great spectator sport, but just in case you want to know what the hell the commentators are talking about.
To add to this. Tunneling - Attacking one person to the exclusion of anyone else. Teleport - Warlocks gave an ability to place a portal anywhere they're standing and teleport to it, makes the best appearance in multi level arenas. Line of Sight - to use a spell your character must see the opponent's character, that's why theres pillars to block line of sight.

Ignore the naysayers, you're doing great :D. And i think finally getting to avenge his defeat at TSL3 that he feels he should have won is a huge monkey off his back. Not surprised to see him so happy .

Those WoW games are really funny I played WoW for many years, and atm it looks so bad, compared to what it used to be. Even the esport events were more interesting and fun to watch. Now those games are just funny.
On the other hand SC2 games are as good as ever. Really hope Ret wins the whole event.
