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:

Igoaf and JP were joined by Vhell and Vansilli at the hotel bar on Sunday night to do a quick 20 minute recap of the weekend ArenaCast style. What this means is… well, just listen. I dont really have much else to say about the show except that the whole ‘every hour we’ll hop back on to record’ thing didn’t happen.
Thanks and expect a full ArenaCast later this week on Saturday and expect a new show hosted by Vhell sometime this weekend.

JP was unable to make it today, but the show must go on! Myself and Kintt sat down with Serennia to talk about a few of the recent changes affecting arena, ESL’s invitational tournament which took place on Wednesday and also the upcoming MLG Columbus event.
I apologize for the short show as it was last minute, but I figured something is better than nothing. We weren’t able to get into any of the user questions (blame JP) but we’ll make up for it on next week’s show. There will be plenty to talk about as we take an in-depth look at MLG’s first WoW event of the year.
If you have questions for us, e-mail them to questions@arenacast.net and we’ll be sure to answer them. Also remember to idle #arenacast on irc.gamesurge.net

UPDATE: Podcast is up for download (see below). Quick heads up though. Due to Vista and me not working so well together (I want to like it so bad) I wasn’t able to record like I normally do for the show. This is both why the show is up so late today after the live show and also why halfway through the show it lags pretty bad. I had to play it back, in real time, from ustream and record it. Hopefully by next week I can figure out a work around for this. Thanks for listening!

PC is working. Gotta download Skype, recording software, and editing software, but that won’t take too long. So as promised, tomorrow we’ll do a live show at 4 p.m. CST.
Goaf, Kintt, myself, and some other special guests will deliver a little longer show to make up for missing a week. We’ve also got a special announcement tomorrow (OMG IM THE WORST HYPER EVER IT’LL CHANGE EVERYTHING… JAYKAY… but it is pretty cool) so look forward to that in the opening of the show.
If you have questions for us, e-mail them to questions@arenacast.net and we’ll be sure to answer them. Also remember to idle #arenacast on irc.gamesurge.net (or connect to the channel HERE)
I’ll post the Ustream embed here tomorrow around 2 p.m. CST-ish (I have to remember to wake up). We’ll see you guys tomorrow!… or, you’ll hear us tomorrow. Whatever. We’re back.

This week we had CEO of ProjectLivestream dsox on to talk a little bit about the technology him and his crew are building over at ProjectLiveStream.com and announce something ArenaCast fan’s will like pertaining to Saturday Night Fights.
Our guests for the week include dsox, Azazael from Team EG and Venruki of Complexity. I also want to remind people that next week we will be doing a live show.
I will post the specifics of the live show sometime throughout the week (Wednesday-ish, after finals) but it will most definitely take place on Saturday, just not sure what time. Thanks for listening!

New podcast, new patch, new things to whine about. Our guests this week were zyZ and Azazael from Team EG, who DIDN’T finish first on the TR, even though zyZ jedi mind tricked me into believing they did.
We talk about the recent replenishment changes, burst damage in PvP, a lot about rogues, and a lot about warriors. We also discuss some of our first week arena experiences (save for myself, still grinding away on my Mage for gear). Thanks for listening!
Make sure to right click and download the cast instead of playing in-browser. The embed is messed up and I plan to fix this sometime this summer.
