There has been a moderate amount of drama between Cyclone and BG9 random posters with the kids like Inactive claiming US battlegroups to be somehow superior to the rest of the world, etc.

But there are some players who actually make videos of their top ladder play in these BGs, so for those of you who haven't yet seen them here are 2 vids of the top druid/rogue vs druid/warrior in each BG:

Serennia/Neilyo (BG9)

Sonny/Runehx (Cyclone)

The difference between their level of play is pretty obvious imo.

Do they play better than 1 random 2v2 match with someone who just picked up the druid class? I'm really shocked tbh.

Team was already a top team from Swarm, they played like 20 games on it. And yeah it's 2v2 it's broken and not many people care about it, at least on bg9.

EU druids are more aggressive, US druids are more passive?

Is this REALLY a example you're trying to use?

You watched the video, right?  Please say you accidentally flipped US and EU in that sentence.  Hands down Serennia plays more aggressively.

Depends on how you interpret aggressive really. Sonny plays much more fast paced riding right up to someone's face while Serennia uses range more. But on the other hand Serennia was much more focused and putting out pressure but he was also playing balance/resto hybrid while Sonny was CCing nonstop and was full resto. And yeah I think Neilyo's strategy is much better but I guess whatever gets the win. Nothing particularly special about resetting the fight 20 times till you get a lucky kill on their druid.

How is "riding up in someone's face" aggressive?

A guy walks up to you and stands really close to you.

A guy stands 10 feet away and shoots you with a gun.

Like I said it's all up for interpretation. Which is more aggressive, the priest who runs up and starts mana burning everything or the one who sits back and heals and casts a smite or two? Which is more aggressive, the guy who kills someone with a rifle from a rooftop or the guy who runs up and stabs someone? Not really taking a side you can make a case either way about who's more aggressive and honestly it really doesn't matter.

neilyo is as good as any rogue (shame about his gear choices) but serennia should stick to the RNG class and ventrilo shouting.

What gear choices? That he doesnt have PVE gear, because his gear is pretty damned standard for somebody who just PVP's. Only thing I can change would be a battlemaster's, but that's it.
