Even though the big names like Evil Geniuses, fnatic, Gravitas and both of the GotGame crews were gunning for the cheap wow gold North American title at this weekend's Extreme Masters Continentals Finals (for 3v3 World of Warcraft PvP tournament), it was Trade Chat All Stars that walked away with the trophy, $15,000 and a spot in the global championship. GotGame East which came in as a runner up to the Trade Chatters will also advance to the Extreme Masters Global Finals next year.
After dropping a match 3-2 to the eventual runners-up, Trade Chat went on a tear. The champions made it look pretty easy (for those of us just checking over the box scores) as they won 12 of their last 15 games en route to winning 6-2 in the finals over GotGame East. They also blanked Evil Geniuses 3-0 and only dropped a single game to Gravitas Gaming. Strong work from a team not even highlighted on the tournament page listing the big hitters.
How did they come out of nowhere to take the title? From the Extreme Masters website, the onsite reporter tracked down the winner to find out how:
"..clever in the fact that Realz [the rogue] is utilizing a shiv build to deal ridiculous cheap wow gold amounts of mostly unmitigated nature damage. After speaking with him briefly I learned that Instant Poison has a much higher scaling rate with AP than I had previously thought. He has a noticeable advantage versus high armor targets and rogues in evasion.
