First off congratulations to SK-Gaming for playing an outstanding tournament. They may have not had the toughest matches on their way to the Upper Finals but you can’t discredit them for beating Team EG and then pulling off a 3-1 to TSG in the Grand Finals. Note that the first map was RNG Valor and SK managed to even beat TSG on that.
Dr. Realz has really turned things around with this new line-up after dropping Serennia. His first trip to Germany will quickly be forgotten and replaced with memories of this one. No more staying in strange German houses Mr. Masterson, you’re treated like WoW royalty now.
Many are already calling SK-Gaming ‘Team America’. I think that’s a fitting title. We’ll have Dr. Realz on a special “After Thoughts: Regionals” show sometime this week along with some of the other big names from this weekend. Look for an updated post on Monday or Tuesday.
I suppose we should give TSG some praise too for making it to BlizzCon in their first tournament appearance ever. This is how I give praise:

We had a last minute roster change for the night. Serennia and Oplaid both bowed out (due to personal reasons) and we had the last minute addition of Zilea, currently fourth place on the Tournament Realm running the popular Paladin / Warlock / Death Knight comp.
In the show we discuss the the ArenaCast Graphic Contest, Tournament Realm, the ever popular WPD comp, the latest on the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus, and also the new PTR build that was posted during the show.
Next week on the show we have Minor from eMg (OMG A GURL WOT) and the rest of the cast should return. If you guys haven’t checked out LiveOn3 yet please do so if you are at all interested in e-sports. They’re website can be found HERE along with past shows. Thanks and see you guys next week.

Tonight’s show was… well, it was filled with drama. Usually I tend to try and make our shows not about drama, but alas I could not keep the fox contained, especially with Happyminti calling him forth. So there’s that.
There is also some great talk about the ESL tournament, Patch 3.1, and of course user questions! Yay! That reminds me: all questions can be sent to questions@arenacast.net and we will get them next week. So thanks for listening, lets go for a record download again. Share this to all your friends, etc.
Sorry for the late upload, technical (idiocy) problems delayed it. See you all next week.

Tune into the Ustream link below around that time to hear us tomorrow night at about 3 a.m. Thanks for listening to the show!
On a side note the past two weeks we’ve been really close to hitting a landmark number of downloads. Lets try for it this week. If we hit it, we might be able to give something away to our listeners! Spread the love!

Today at 1:00 p.m. CST ESL.tv is back and streaming again. Join 2GD and Zalmah as they discuss the WoW scene and catch up on all the things they missed over their long break.
Man, this sounds like an awful plug. But the real reason to watch the show (duh) is because they’re calling me about 1:30 p.m. CST to discuss the three new American WoW teams and also some things about ArenaCast. I’m just afraid that I’m going to be charged a billion dollars on my phone. Here’s hoping I’m not!

First and foremost, I need to make an apology to anyone and everyone who read my first article here on ArenaCast. When JP first asked me if I was interested in writing for this website, I immediately realized what an opportunity it was. He explained to me the overarching themes and concepts, and most importantly the ideals, of what he has begun to orchestrate with this website. I was immediately excited to begin planning and organizing all of the ideas that had been brewing in my consciousness for quite some time, but never quite had the venue to display said ideas.
