On the ESL tournament page Sang-Yeol ‘miracle’ Lee of Kill E A had this to say on the topic:

“Upon consultation with my teammates, we have regretfully decided that we will have to withdraw our participation from the tournament.
Due to recent balance changes resulting from the 3.0.9 patch, we believe that it is no longer possible for the Mage and Rogue character classes to remain competitive in a high-level PvP setting.

In addition, our testing has shown that it is now impossible for other classes to compete effectively with the Death Knight. As the Mage and Rogue remain integral to our teams’ strategy, and because we do not have a member prepared for competitive play with the Death Knight class, we have decided to withdraw our participation from all competitions for the time being until these imbalance issues are rectified.

Please accept our sincerest apologies.”

Min-Sik ‘reis’ Ko of Sk-Gaming added:

“We are really happy about this opportunity. This event is going to be awesome because SK got all three WoW teams there and the Korean guys are really excited about going to Germany. They are well prepared right now so I think we will see some really exciting matches in Hannover!

My prediction is 1st – 3rd place – all SK! ;)”

I find it a little hard to believe a team like Kill E A would just bow out of a tournament finals. I think that Rogue / Mage are still viable — look at CompLexity. What do you guys think?
