Battle of the Rogue Heroes In BG9 Grand Finals, Hunter Hero's Last Gift To His Class, The D&T Scandal, Nerf Sap 10

It seems like yesterday when Inactive-chan and Kintt-san dismissed the Euro comp as a legit top 5v5 combo that would never work in BG9.  How fast things changed when it is now the single most popular 5v5 comp above 2200, and like the first tournament in Cyclone, it is Neilyo's SK-Gaming taking on Nitrana's Team Fanatic for a rogue vs rogue grand finals.  After a thrilling 3-2 series against TSG, WITHOUT their starting druid Brian "Caal" McDonald (one may use Ewing theory here and say they are actually better without him), Team Fanatic will be the underdogs against SK, having to win two series in a row against a stronger overall roster. 

However, they do have one trump card on their side, and that is their priest Trance's apprenticeship under Serennia-sama.  As demonstrated in his latest PVP video, Serennia is the one American who stood up against the European invasion and stopped a moving train in its tracks.  His triple melee comp will put an end to the Euro comp dominance, especially with the enhancement shaman survivability/mobility buff and druid cyclone/mobility nerf in 2.4.  It is a special privilege to play with the most innovative mind in BG9, and he will once again, set the trend for all to follow. Like Allen Iversion, Serennia is The Answer to all of your arena woes, and as long as Trance still has THAT jutsu, they have a chance to beat SK in the finals.  Serennia added yet another impressive feat to his resume today, as he became the first player to ever take 1st and 2nd spots of BG9's 5v5 ladder at same time, with two different classes (DPS/healer) and two different teams (Euro comp / triple melee).  There is very little doubt in my mind that he is the most complete player in the world today, the total package.

Fanatic won two of the three matches by killing TSG's paladin, who was frustrated by his druid's poor play (tab cyclone the whole game doing nothing else).  With the tournament servers allowing any player from any BG to play together, we have seen a massive talent transfer out of BG9 and I think it is great for the game.  Star players like Veex and his paladin decided to go back to their home server Medivh.   I was also happy to see merciless gladiator Wojo on BDF raiding with Forgotten Heroes.  Vorrent and his warrior went back to BG1 as well.  The trend will likely continue as we see more and more people choose to go back to their roots, and save the real competition for tournament servers.

Hunter Hero Banned:

Those of you who follow SK100 know Megatf was the number one rated player in the world for a very long time.  Hunter is one funny class.  You have players like Megatf and Cherekee holding the top spot of SK100 week after week, they have dominant comps in every bracket.  Yet their arena presentation at 2200+ is extremely low. 

In any case, Megatf had some serious concerns about the viability of his class with the upcoming mana drain nerfs against resilience.   He single handedly started a massive revolt in hunter forums against Blizzard.  I believe he did make some inappropriate remarks that had nothing to do with WOW (that are better suited for Gameriot than official forums), and Blizzard had no choice but to ban him from the forums for 7 days.

Sadly, Blizzard managed to throw out the baby with bath water here, as they deleted one of the best hunter PVP bibles available.  Fortunately Megatf's guide was preserved by arenajunkies.com, and you can read it here.

Hopefully Jasi-san can arrange an interview with Megatf on exactly what happened and Gameriot is also an excellent vehicle for him to vent his frustrations.  Megatf-san, you have done much to carry the pride of your class, don't ever give up!

The D&T Scandal:

Time went on-about a year-and all of the sudden "Chobo"
and Miyavi started having some relationship troubles. Miyavi decided it
was time to sleep around some, in California, with one of the gentlemen
she is friends with, and "Chobo" decided on Feb. 14th, 2008 that it
would be time to end things. So, Miyavi was distraught…  …She decided,
after some internal reflection, that the only viable thing to do was to
find someone vulnerable in "Chobo’s" guild and to use them to get back
at him.

Enter Korrupted, a guild member from DnT. He was having some **** at
home in Arizona and decided that his about year+ of hitting on Miyavi
would finally pay off. He started laying it on thick, and Miyavi saw an
opportunity. She decided to fly Korrupted out and let him live with
her. Around the beginning of March Korrupted arrives and promptly
sleeps with Miyavi–less than a month after she cheated and then got
dumped by her boyfriend.

 

Sharayah-chan is only 20 years old and like many kawaii girls of her age, foolishly believed that the best way to seek revenge on a man who dumped her like trash, is to sleep with someone less than trash.  The deleted thread in DNT forums featured XXX rated pictures, videos, and a gross image of Korrupted covered in his own vomit.

The only way to obtain proper revenge on your ex, is to find someone much, much better than him/her.  Selling yourself short will only create pity, not anger.  There are plenty of wealthy gentlemen in Oakland California seeking paid companions, you can do better than that.  Take advantage of your depreciating asset while it is still there.

Nerf Sap 10:

Minti-sama's latest release, get it before it goes public!  I will watch this later and possibly post a full review, but I assume it features his very innovative rogue/rogue/lock comp, which is heavily reliant on perception.

Knowing Minti-sama he won't like this link on WOM, but that is exactly why I posted it.  So download it before it gets deleted.
