The WoW eSports season is starting this weekend with the first MLG event for this year. The event has been expanded to support up to 16 teams in pool play where each team will play each other with the top two advancing to bracket / championship play. All the matches are best of five, with random match selection chosen by the game, with players given access to Wrathful Gladiator Gear (Season 8) and item level 264 gear (ICC normal gear).
Team line-up:
Loaded Black
Naehyun “Orangemarmalade” Kang (Mage)
Seoungouk “Numberone” Oh (Priest)
Min Kyu “Satz” Cho (Rogue)
Orangemarmalade and Numberone are probably the most well known Korean WoW players and they have won tournaments in the past under the team “Button Bashers” they just signed up with Loaded Black and brought on Satz to complete their 3v3 team. Expect them to do really well in this opening tournament of the MLG season. They are also the only RMP team in the tournament (unless other teams change their lineup).
