I would think of all the places arena would be recognized for the extremely competitive monster it is, TL would be one of them. But then I guess it's just another thing to chalk up to the massive influx of bnet forum people here with the beta. *buys wow* *levels to 60* *quits* *posts on a forum 4 years later about how skill-less wow is* | ||

Starcraft was my first love, first online game back in 1998. I've been playing WoW competitively(Glad every season and D-Glad) and deeply involved in the community but I'm refocusing all my efforts into SC2. I canceled my WoW account and I've been playing SC2 beta religiously for the last couple months. Cheers for a better game, Trancey of Blackrock aka Trance | ||

There's tons of teams of the same comp spread over the entire spectrum of ratings, obviously some are much better than others, like in anything else. Also, if you can't see the incredibly high skill cap in these matches then you just don't get it: ^^ A lot of top WoW players also play SC2, a few of them (like mOOnglade, Xom, ViralRush, Malice, Kvz and Nadagast for example) were very high ranked throughout the stages of Beta. I hope someone from the competitive wow scene makes it big in sc2... Plus ITSMEJP started out in casting in WoW too.. ^_^ | ||

A lot of the problems with it has to do with that the game is supposed to be balanced around both pvp and pve, which leads to imbalances in both areas (especially pvp.) If Arena was a separate game that could be both designed and balanced solely for the purpose of PvP, and arena being competitive, it would make a great E-sport imo. | ||

Wow Arena is hella fun though, I never made Glad but I got rival or something, I played a mage though so it wasn't all that easy to get glad with mage during BC and i wasn't super good, though I only did 15-30 games a week cause I wasn't one of those that wanted to do 500 games a night. | ||

It was never worth it, because it was never balanced. It's impossible to balance for competitive PvP when you treat it like a side-show and your main focus of the game was the PvE content and keeping those players happy. That doesn't take away from the fact that regardless of comps and counter-comps top-end arena required a lot of dedication and skill to reach and succeed at. I always swore if they just released a "WoW: PvP Edition" without all the PvE hoops to jump through and dedicated to PvP balance I would never buy another game again. | ||

Lol. Maybe at 1900. Link your 3k rated team please? There's tons of teams of the same comp spread over the entire spectrum of ratings, obviously some are much better than others, like in anything else. Also, if you can't see the incredibly high skill cap in these matches then you just don't get it: How is anybody who doesn't play World of Warcraft supposed to have any clue what's going on? When I watch WoW, it looks to me people are just left clicking each other and making full use of spell cooldowns while using teamwork. It also looks like all projectiles and attacks auto target. Not being sarcastic or anything, I don't have a clue what I'm watching in that video. What am I missing? | ||
