Eight European teams, including every European powerhouse (the only missing powerhouse was fnaticRC, who are currently still in Korea), were invited to compete for a €1000 first place prize – All Or Nothing, as the title says.

Top Guilds and Why They Are Sucessful

Published April 26, 2012 | Ariadne

Paragon. Method. Blood Legion. Envy. All are names you recognize if you follow the PvE scene. What is it these guilds have that makes them such strong contenders? Are the players in the top guilds the best out there? I find many mistake what it takes to raid at top level and I do believe that it does not take much skill to raid in one of these guilds. I am not saying the skill cap for raiding is low, you can definitely always push your damage more or use your globals more perfectly but it is not required to kill a boss. Today I’ll be exploring my observations of these guilds and what I believe makes them so successful.

Bring Back Skirmishes in Mists of Pandaria!

Published April 23, 2012 | Ceon

The removal of Skirmishes was a mistake. The feature was both fun and provided the PvP community with a myriad of benefits. Blizzards reasoning for removing Skirmishes in Cataclysm and their subsequent failure to bring back and polish the feature are poor, don’t live up to scrutiny and at worst outright contradictory.

Two of the main philosophies of Mists of Pandaria is firstly allowing players to play the game how they want to and, secondly, giving the player base more to do outside of raiding and rated PvP. From Challenge Modes, Battlegrounds, Pet Battles to Farms, Skirmishes would slide in perfectly and provide more ammo to achieve these two central aims. However, Skirmishes were not perfect and far from it. There were numerous flaws, but Blizzard has the technology to vastly improve the system, eradicate these flaws and deliver a much more refined and polished version of Skirmishes in Mists of Pandaria. They just need to be willing to do so.

Today we’ll be discussing why Blizzard should bring back Skirmishes and how to vastly improve them to increase usage and give the PvP community something else to celebrate come Mists of Pandaria.
