I’ve been having a pretty busy couple of weeks both in life and in game. My guild has started working on 3d Sartharion and the encounter itself is easily the biggest challenge of the expansion thus far. At the same time, WOTLK is giving me a taste of the work involved in being a GM. It’s a rewarding role, but at the same time it feels like a constant battle to contain constantly swelling drama and maintain some order. Add to that task trying to do arena on live, work on videos, get a team put together for Tournament Realm, throw in some mid term exams and a bit of social r & r IRL, and this all equates to me having less time to write articles. But that’s more than enough crying for today.

Tournament Realm is up, and while I haven’t spent a ton of time there, it’s already a fun chance to  play with and against some great players I wouldn’t get a chance to see otherwise. I played some RMP with Milkofamnisia and Neurological, although only briefly. RMP still feels strong, even amid the faceroll of hunters, death knights and paladins that comprise the majority of teams on TR.  RMP isn’t what it was in the past, but it at least has a chance to beat the majority of popular comps. It has the versatility that most rogue teams lack. I even got a chance to run some triple rogue with Mahiko and Buddhist, which was a lot of fun.

Oh and if you missed the ESL finals, you should check out this clutch performance by Orangemarmalade of HON.
