Continuation of the story...
So mid-season I was posting on the official WoW forums that I thought our 5v5 team might be the best around. And the general consensus was “you aren’t on BG9 therefore you aren’t the best”. So we did some research and yes, a trend had began a while back of everyone super serious about pvp migrating to either tichondrius or blackrock. The team that won the first blizzcon, (and became the first sponsored WoW pvp team and brought the concept of e-sport sponsorship to WoW) tournament was from a pvp guild on Tich during classic called <Notorious>, Noto for short. That became their arena name too
So anyway we xferred to BG9. We were featured briefly in Worldofming’s blogs, which was one of the most popular WoW sites at the time, talking about our comp, and I got my 15 minutes of WoW fame. Unfortunately we were convinced that we were going to be rank 1 in BG9 or at least top 10, and the competition was just on another level. We lost to the best 2 healer 3 dps 5v5 teams. To give an idea of the competition, there was a time I was in a guild on Tich that had only gladiator as its requirement. It had something like 200 gladiators. To get that title you needed about 2300+ rating
Anyway, we got cockblocked around rank 20 and nerd raged at each other so hard that our priest and Druid quit the game. I quit WoW soon after, until classic WoW came out, but I quit that when I discovered how shitty the “premade meta” BG’s were. Doing casual BG’s was all I wanted to do and it sucked
