If you're an active WoW player, then surely you know that last Tuesday the 3.0 patch was released, completely changing the game for many classes. This patch in particular is one to note because it was the introductory patch for the next expansion in the World of Warcraft series, Wrath of the Lich King. To help ease players in the transition over to the new expansion, Blizzard decided to release the revamped talent trees for all classes, as well as quite a few itemization and mechanic changes thrown into the mix as well.
All of this of course, is happening the week before ESL Montreal occurs, causing quite a bit of discussion. Players and commentators alike seem to not take this particular event as ¡®serious¡¯ as the previous events, mainly because there are some obvious balance changes that need to take place.wow bot In addition, the participants are practically playing a new game for one week before taking on the challenge.
Either way, that does not change the fact that this weekend, 10 top tier World of Warcraft Arena teams will be competing for a total prize pool of $30,000 with $15,000 of that going directly to the first place finishers. With 5 teams from North America and 5 teams from Europe competing, this seems to be another act of continental rivals. wow gold The past three international events (EM Leipzig, EM LA, BlizzCon) have been won by a European team, so the American teams really have to step up and show that they can compete with their opponents from across the Atlantic.
With the current amount of teams, the group stage for Montreal is formatted so that there will be two groups of five with the top two teams from each group progressing to bracket play..
