Oh yeah battlegroup was almost everything. My 5v5 arena team had around a 95% win rate, and was so deep into rank 1 that it was pointless to keep queueing. We would risk losing 25+ rating per loss and only gain 1-2 rating per win because the next lowest team was like 200 below us

When I mentioned our success on the forum, everyone was like “yeah you’re in BG1, try that in BG9” BG9 was the one with Tichondrius, and Blackrock, the servers with the most gladiators and the only one with sponsored teams. Everyone who was super serious about pvp was xferring to BG9

So we did, and it cost us our rank 1 title. At the time I was also around rank 3 (2600 rating) in 3v3 playing as hunter/lock/Druid. We abandoned our server, battlegroup, and rank 1 title for 5v5, and server xferred to Tichondrous mid-season. The competition was insane. We stagnated around rank 20 and we nerd raged at each other so hard in the process that it broke our team up [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That was the end of my arena days and WoW playing days

Back when I was playing, the best way to get on a serious team was to record yourself playing, then post it on the site Arenajunkies. When you have a recording showing your playing, it was much harder for people to dispute skill
