What is with the lack of effort put into this? Eiya shows up looking like she rolled out of bed and forgot what little she knows about commentating and the rest look just as lazy i get this isn’t LAN cause…covid was a thing i guess… but constant mic issues, they spend more time ranting and speculating their own opinions than the tournament and can we really not get any of them a proper green screen background for a theme like we used to at the LAN events with the desks and décor. This is so boring to watch i feel like I’m watching a first time twitch streamer struggle to host a tournament. And for good measure WHOS IDEA WAS IT TO EVEN HIRE EIYA she has the same reactions and comments as the people I talk to who know absolutely nothing about this game and her interview skills seem like she didn’t even watch the games and she’s more distracted playing on her pc than thinking of something good to say. At this point what’s the point of even streaming these with this little effort to make it something professional and official.
I have no idea what this thread is about. So here’s a cookie 
Never trust a gnome hiding. They are always up to something! 
Arena world championship
Its the world of warcraft pvp tournament going on these last few weekends featuring teams from both North America and Europe with live commentary that’s basically the same as watching a hockey game where commentators do the play by play
They can’t get the tier gear to compete.
*Yoink!*
Wait, I thought this was a Grumbles cookie. Ewwwwwwwwwwww…
They wanted to sneak this in before they did.
Umm….you know if they have tiers this gets ugly, right? Goes dev 1
You are right. Get this before they do…no balance patches. Goes dev 2
With this out the way….the devs can go git gud, again.
Part of me would love to meet some these…devs in person.
Just so I can measure the degrees of delusion that they’re under or what kind of power struggle exists inside of Blizzard that paralyzes the game with such poor decision making.
The AWC is on the tournament realm. All players have 4 set and 2 legos.
Was it ever?
Hard to practice on live servers if your main doesn’t have tier.
As far as I’m concerned, anyone who is defending this garbage has thrown out what credibility they had.
I like the more personal feel of it doing it like this. I’m not watching the AWC to see what the casters are wearing or what their BG is.
They may want to invest in a shovel though. We were buried in salt by Cdew haters when Liquid won.
It’s never been a big deal…ever.
I’d like to see these esports events done without addons. It’s a little silly to me that addons are used in competitive events. “Who has the best addons” is what the competition turns into.
:\
At the competitive AWC level of play this isn’t an issue.
