The highest rated 3v3 team in BG9, appearances on the very top of SK100 and WOM headline, innovative armor stacking featuring four thousand and seventy eight armor unbuffed, Brad Pitt-like looks compared to the likes of Jared "Noktyn" Fogle and Brian "Caal" McDonald, and of course, the heart of the best female WOW player in the world at least until she fancies one of the hot Filipino locals.  There is only one warlock in the world who has it all, and Glickz is the man of the hour, the definitive face of our franchise since Xecks the golden child.


And he is teaming up with old friends from BG3 for the upcoming tournament, as opposed to dedicating his passion for the yellow fever known as Hafu!  The Glickz/Realzz friendship ran way back since their fishing trips in the mountains of Ruin.  Realzz/Girlzz/Ronmexico make for one stellar trio and once you throw Glickz into the equation they have as good a chance as any to make it to the regionals.

 
Deep in his heart, Glickz knows that he will forever be known as that
warlock who plays with Hafu, and that is why he is seeking other
options.
- BG9 Scout
There has been many speculations about the oddity of the Dynamo sponsorship.  Most Asian women mature (mentally) a lot quicker than their white counterparts, and Hafu is hardly the sweet and innocent school girl you expect unless you are referring to Gogo Yubari from Kill Bill.  Milking older men for expensive dinners without any real commitment is Chinese tradition, and Hafu played the whole situation flawlessly with Dynamo, getting nice little appetizers without signing any papers before the main course.   She generated as much attention for her team as humanly possible while keeping her image flawless.  Deep in his heart, Glickz knows that he will forever be known as that warlock who plays with Hafu, and that is why he is seeking other options.

How did they do it?  

With all the talks about double melee, and the 2.4 druid nerfs, the two highest rated teams in BG9 both feature lock/druid/melee.  In 3v3, every comp can be countered.  While certain line-ups can hard counter the mainstream ones, they are not stable enough to make it to the very top.  On tournament server, due to the number of teams, you won't really be able to swap in a counter team and get the same team again until you reach the highest ratings.

Still, I wonder how the hell do melee/lock/druid teams beat double melee?  Peeling is effective to a degree but KS is still only once every 20 seconds.  Cripple poison doesn't do much against intercept and once hamstring is applied, the lock is not going anywhere.  The new 20 yard cyclone opens the druid to all sorts of nastiness when he tries to peel for the lock as well.  I am sure you can queue dodge a few teams, but with double melee taking up 50% of the 3v3 ladders in most BGs, there must be something I don't see?

Reminder:

Monday is the last day to register for the tournament!  Even if you are still without a team like merciless gladiator Wojo, the chance to play all 9 classes fully geared with friends from other BGs is amazing!  Don't miss this special event, register today!
