Think we'll see double fire mage in the tourney?

I was moreso referencing BC/wrath when healer/rogue/rogue was played.

i know there was some healer/rogue/rogue played in i htink either cata or mop, i forget.

In TBC the second place team was rdruid/rogue/rogue. They switched out a warrior for the second rogue.

Having said that, fire mages are capable of way too much burst. How do you counter getting one shot like that?

It’s not instant pyro, it’s pyroclasm. Hardcast pyro.

i just hope they see how ridiculous fire is in the tourney and nerf it appropriately.

They played Druid/rogue/rogue in BC when rogues could 4 piece 4 piece. Furthered by glaives.

The same came around in cata if rogues had the daggers.

THINK WE’LL SEE DOUBLE FIRE MAGE IN THE TOURNEY?

I could think of it, combined with a holy pala. But I don’t think it will win the tourney, as it has enough counterplay.

Completely agree with that. I don’t know if NA has a team with a very good ele+fire+hpal but EU has and I’m quite sure they will dominate the first tourney.

Fair and balanced game play!

Ya but on the contrary EU also doesn’t really have any insane WWs compared to Drake/Trill that will play WW mage

I think it’s debatable which comp is actually stronger, from what I’ve seen the NA WWs are generally much better with Chun/Trill/Drake all being really incredible players

The ele shamans on NA are all mostly alts though so they don’t really compare with Zeepeye/Swapxy/Jaime on EU, just as some of the most repped EU WWs in tourneys have been alts (blizo/whaazz)

Very possible when paired with a Hpal, they’re just as broken as Fire Mage.

I’m calling HPal/Ele/Boomkin to win both NA and EU. The only thing that does well against it is Shadowplay but locks can get globaled by melee. I’m expecting Cloud 9 to win this week because they can play all the best comps.

It’s the donkey laugh with the “ohhh my god imagine” that gets me. It’s just so gratingly annoying - especially since he’s an unpunishable god tier caster.

I don’t think that is true. Didn’t ABC won 2017 with ww+mage+rdruid? We also have Rezuz who is always a force on WW, Whaazz, Blizo alting ww and others who definitely know what they are doing. But from what I have heard, do other teams know very well how to kill wws. Especially RMP and Wizzardcleaves like Ele+Fire+Hpal and we have a lot of those comps.

They are deffo very incredible players, but in general much better? I doubt that tbh! It’s like you would say EU mages and rogues and wizzards in general are a lot better than in NA? Personally I just think that the meta in EU is completely different and melees don’t shine as much in EU as they do in NA, because wizzards always seems overwhelming here.

We can only find out when we see playing the best teams from EU and NA against each other on lan, but that won’t happen that soon unfortunately.


 Hes playing a troll spec that literally relies on you to constantly look for a pyroclasm proc, and then set it up so you actually are able to cast a full NON instant pyroblast on someone
 This would NEVER work in a tournament and rarely works in arena games in general


They played a lot of diff comps that blizzcon, mostly rogue mage but they did play ww mage in the finals

They mostly just counter comped a lot, niksi was an amazing multiclasser

I don’t think you’d find Blizo or Whaazz not saying those monks aren’t insane, they always give them massive props at every single lan

I mean EU has had one of the best mage rogues in the world for a while with whaazz/raiku which are ahead of other rmx’s, and loony/zeepeye/maro were always insane at playing wizard cleaves so ya they are ahead on those comps

Seems kinda obvious where people’s strengths are

Me neither, because they are insane, but you did say that NA wws are in general much better and I doubt that. You just barely see EU ww monks, mostly because other teams are too dominating. But if I would think of rezuz playing with maro and both getting real good synergy, I think they would give NA teams also massive props.

But so far I can’t remember that I have seen much WW in general on Blizzcons. I mean, haven’t Trill mostly played DH when they won the Blizzcon 2018? And AWC is limited by the region, which is why it’s hard to tell if they would also do as well when facing Whaazz or Maro, or if EU ww couldn’t compete on NA finals. Not because the EU players are better or worse, but because it’s a team and comp based game.

Exactly, one of the best. But you wouldn’t go as far to say: “EU mages and rogues and ele are in general much better than NA guys on those classes”, would you?

It’s your choice of words with “generally much better” that I find questionable. I mean, how are you able to judge if Rezuz or other main WWs would do as good as Trill, Chun or Drake? We don’t have a direct comparison.

For ele absolutely I would say that

Then lets take another example: It’s like you say that Whaazz is leagues above Snutz and Nahj, or Maro and Raiku leagues above Xaryu, cmd and Jah. And I doubt that a lot.

Yes lol

Maro and Raiku are with the exception of Jah is on the same tier

Maro/Raiku/Jah/Ceral/Wealthyman are all the god tier mages rn

Whaazz himself said that he think Snutz is an insane talented Rogue. I don’t think he would see himself leagues above other Rogues, so why do you?

I agree, but let me ask differently: What EU wws do you know?
