So far this tournament, it's had amazing talent, lots and lots of upsets, a cinderella story of Yea We Lift and Pandemic showcasing their dominance throughout the tournament.

 

However, as a player in this tournament, I thought one ruling and one issue involving class comps needs to be fixed. Teams switching comps at the last second shouldn't be allowed, it was suppose to be fixed by Toronto but there's no 'official' rule about the comp swapping agenda.

I know Caals will get angry at me for writing something a bit negative about them again, but I had to ask this question - why wouldn't Fnatic switch in their Rogue in the game against Phospha?

 

Fnatic ran Warlock, Mage, Druid against Warlock, Priest, Druid and were simply mana drained into oblivion. Caals did a good job for the large majority of the marathon match kiting and keeping himself alive, but there's not much he can do to win the match with two classes d…  More

The World of Warcraft players are Toronto are excited about the prospects of this tournament with so many teams bringing stacked lineups and ready for the myriad of tactics anyone can throw out there.

 

The WSVG metagame has evolved greatly since the first two tournaments with Rogue/Mage/Priest, Warrior/Paladin/Shaman, and Mage/Warlock/Druid emerging as the three premier cookie-cutter combinations. A few other teams, like Yea We Lift and their Hunter Hamchook, lo…  More
