Lame Update

It's been a while since an update, and this will definitely be one of those ramble-y catch-up posts and not anything of particular interest or merit, I promise. I've been pretty brain-dead the past week and my slacker teammates haven't been on much to arena, so I've spent more time emoing out than thinking about competitive WoW.

First of all, farewell to Minti. I'll leave it with that. ^^

Second, Blizzcon. I'll be there, dep will be there, aesthyr will be there. Dep and Aesthyr are mostly there for SC2, but I'm equally interested in WoW expansion news. (DEATHKNIGHTS?!) If you'll be there and want to say "hi" or get drunk, I doubt we'll be hard to find. I somehow think more people will know Aesthyr than me anyways which just makes me bitter and jealous at how I've failed at life since I'm neither e-thug nor e-celebrity. "I run a blog where I whine about warlocks and talk about arena strats on a mediocre battlegroup, you've probably heard of me, I'm a pretty big deal," eh? ACTUALLY, I LOVE STORMSTRIKE AND I DIDN'T MEAN A SINGLE WORD OF THAT.

Since Yecal has decided that women and beaches are more important than 3s-ing with me, I have played 3s in what feels like eternity -- well not seriously anyways. GameOver is still doing well in 5s; we had a few good games against Pretty Standard tonight who play a very solid strategy against us and were able to pick up two wins off of us. I think those are our first non-DC, non totally fat losses since our long winning streak and it served both to humble us and remind me of how classic+lock is still a good 4DPS counter when played well. The teams I'm very excited to play are still Trounce and Yeah We Lift, although rumor has it one of the ex-FH teams has put together a 4healer lineup to counter us which should be a lot of FUN. They normally run the ultra-coolio 2xWarrior/RestoDruid/RestoShaman/Pally style and have taken their team, Rolling with My Gnomies, to top 5 in the battlegroup.

Stormstrike is certainly home to mostly nontraditional teams at this point, but teams like Pretty Standard and Fireman Squadron stick to the old school CC + outlast or Manaburn + outlast glory of season one. Even 2345 is relatively uncommon compared to 4DPS and 3+ healer teams here. Stormstrike was definitely the battlegroup last season with the most 2345 teams; at one point, such teams controlled 10+ of the top 20. However, while 2345 was plentiful early in the season, there's only a few teams still running it. Many have transitioned into 4DPS or 2xWar. Rock, paper, scissors, much?

I do plan on updating this site with as much WoW related info as I can get my hands on while at Blizzcon and I'll have my phone and Dep's laptop so hopefully I can make myself somewhat useful to the "community"...whatever that means. ^^

Due to various RL vacations and other such gayness, GameOver won't be playing much for the next few weeks, so don't think we've quit or died or something!
