Congrats to CompLexity.Red for an AMAZING performance against *aAa*! A last-second kill of *aAa*'s lock in round four allows C.R to close out this incredible tournament 3-1 in the finals, and they take home $75,000 and championship rings as a grand prize! *aAa* takes home $30,000 in prize money, and LightZ CaMerA ActioN rolls into a strong 3rd for $15,000 in prize money. Congrats to all!

Dude.
DUDE. Me? Loving PvP? What?
You know, I've never been a big PvP guy, but this? The BlizzCon WoW Tournament Stage? This is pretty damn sweet. I mean c'mon, announcers? Play-by-play? Gladiator-like cheering? I could get into this! And that's just the start...
So seriously! Here I am just after watching Korean Team "MLS" fall to "Loaded". Five large screens showing the action in this best-of-five fight through the brackets as players strive for Tournament excellence. The play-by-play is excellent and fast-paced. I missed than names of the announcers, but they're doing a great job. Loaded overcame MLS 3-0 as MLS's healer, Fascinate (spelling incorrect) was singled out and pulled down. I missed the full team makeup, unfortunately.
The bracket is a four-tier bracket with the losers being directed into the Losers bracket, with the winner of that bracket playing in a wildcard semifinal. I think I got this structure right! What's more, the crowd is GREAT. It really is a gladiator-like sequence with cheers and excitement - the crowd is loving the fight! Now we're holding for the next brawl and I'm really excited to watch!
You should know that although I tried Arena - I was TERRIBLE - and some BG's - my warrior got his first 70 weapons that way - I could never get rolling with that. But man, if this is how it culminates, then I may have to try some PvP again. But I don't know what I'm doing! I largely think I'd never be good enough to be in a tournament group - what about you?
Tell me about your arena experiences! Tell us some of your fun stories and epic fights. Let me know what excites you about Arena! Some people aren't into it, and I think they may be missing out! Would you ever enter this kind of tournament? Have you ever? Do you think you could hold your own in these fights? Or do you still think it's overblown?
I'll try to get a picture posted. Next fight is starting! "Loaded" vs "LightZ CaMerA ActioN" in the losers bracket. Can't wait! This post may update!
