wHAT IS THIS? is this ow hard blizzard if failing in the P.R. departent? All I saw was 20 tacos commecials before coming to a stil screen. Besides... that stuff you get at tocobell are not real tacos, 2) the people they are andvertising to probably do not have the genetics to handle a real taco.

This would be even more awesome if we could watch from the stands on game. Not sure how you'd do it though.

@Rëvënge: honestly man, i do not play a warrior or have never, but i very much agree with you... such a broken class. However, with assets, a warrior deals the damage and can control a whole hell of a lot.

@Chewwii: Warriors are not broken, there is still r1's and glad, you just commented on a warrior that doesn't even have a 1550 chieve yet he's done 300 arenas

It's a very poor stream. They dont even have a 3rd headset for guests. Everyone has some lag and the casters talk over each other consistently. That being said, fun to watch, but Curse and the stream itself aren't helping that.

Am I the only one that noticed we have more alliance players in the tourney than hordes? And no warriors?

@Zerlo: The presence of more ally players is to be expected. With the Human's Racial, they are easily the better side to play for in pvp. The human's racial is something that I personally would love to see nerfed. You essentially have the same racial as an undead, but better because you can get out of anything. I was glad to see a horde team in the finals though.
