Reckoning the Second Best BG.

Many debate that the east coast powerhouse Ruin is the second best battlegroup behind BG 9, but I disagree. To start Ruin might have high rated teams and sucessful transfers to BG 9, but in terms of LAN tourny's we haven't even heard a whiff of any team from Ruin. Also 2 players on some of Ruins best teams Noxn and Conradical are originally from Reckoning. I believe Reckoinng was and is the second best BG from the start of when cross realm bgs first opened. You could even debate that Reckoning is better than bg 9 it isn't, but its at least worth debating.

Reckoning is the home battlegroup to WoW E sport icons like Serennia, Zecks(Xecks), Ohnoes, Zizek, and Kollektiv. Along with other very good players like Xanderx and Vorrent who currently holds number 1 spot in 2s and 3s on bg 9. Along with on SK-Gamings top 100 for 2 weeks the top 3 people were from Reckoning (Megatf, Chances, Shinanigans) and the top 2 have been held by Megatf and Chances from Reckoning for over 3 weeks, and popular Pre-BC movie makers Grievous(World of Paladincraft), Sunken the maker of the popular UD and NE Rogue PvP edits, Alecta maker of 3 early Rogue movies showcasing multiple specs, and Nettik maker of imo the best feral druid pvp movie pre-bc.

Reckoning has also seen 3rd place finishes in Dallas and a 2nd and 3rd place finish in Dreamhack from teams both from Reckoning. Also Zizek, Xanderx, and Hamchook are still the only team to date to beat Pandemic in 3v3, and if it wern't for dumb counter comping allowing you to switch to any class you wanted very well may have one that tournament. Also way back when Blizzard hosted the DQ riddled 5v5 tournament the favorite of the tournament The Fighting Mongooses one of te only teams to have a full roster gets upset in the first round by PVE Clickers a Reckoning team running an unorthodoxed combo and giving no chance at the start of the tournament. There is no question of BG 9s talent due to influx of server transfers, but before the mass influx of transfers if all of Reckonings talent had stayed on their home servers I could see this being a better battlegroup than BG 9 and having taken over as the Primary West Coast Battlegroup. The best servers from these battlegroups are Dragonmaw and Smolderthorn both servers are always controlling the number 1 spot in Reckoning for over 90% of the time since Arenas have came out. Players from Reckoning like Ohnoes, Xecks, Serennia and Zizek are some of the most talented players in the world, and they only thing that sperated them from bg 9 wasn't skill, they might even be more skilled than Bloodlust's finest, it was the quanity in talent from BG 9 that gave teams like Pandemic and Insuurection more success due to being able to field a 5-6 man roster of the very good players rather than a roster of 3. Also imo one of the most skilled players in the world Aellii the shaman from Smolderthorn turned heads in season 2 manging to get a 2k rating in 5v5s by dual boxing 4 elemental shamans. Anyone who says crap bg or something like that is wrong, it would extremely hard to do this in any bg let alone the second best battelgroup. I'm very anxious to see how Reckoning teams will fair in the upcoming Blizzard 3v3 tournament don't be surprised if you see Reckoning teams making a spalsh and upsetting some teams in the Regional US tournament.
