The comment about it being dominated by rich streamers, who could afford the entry + could train full-time, definitely made me draw parallels between them and duelling knights of yore, who were usually part of the nobility.
It would be nice to see some more random contenders from more mixed backgrounds
They had a month to level to 60 and gear up, most normal people aren’t into wasting a month to enter a tournament with practically no odds of getting anything. If you die in the tournament your character is done, so naturally the contestants are largely going to be people with some confidence and time to spare.
Three other competitors didn't survive what were supposed to be non-lethal qualifier duels on the day before the finals. One player tragically died right after winning a duel to a random explosion from their Goblin Rocket Boots. Another Goblin malfunction killed a player who was an official spectator for the fights.
I am so glad I clicked through. This is great stuff.
And this is why gnome engineering is superior to goblin kabooms.
Can you use Goblin Engineering in PVP again? When I quit WoW they had completely removed engineering gizmos from battlegrounds and pvp zones.
I haven't played WoW since a very very very long time ago. Also I never delved in engineering :)
It was amazing for battlegrounds and world pvp until they nerfed the shit out of it, and then eventually removed it. I remember when cataclysm launched you could engineer bombs that hit for everyone's entire hit point pool, and then stand above the graveyard at Warsong Gulch, wait for everyone to spawn, and insta-kill all of them. It was hilarious. Of course the bombs were stupid expensive to craft, so you'd only do it a couple of times for the lulz.
The prerequisite of it being on a hardcore Server adds Spice. Nice
Had me in the first half
