We had five games played this week, so Eldpojken agreed to play another five with us tonight so we could get points this week. We played a total of 8 games, all of them with Esko and we went undefeated.
We finally got to meet Rating Robbers, a top 5 team that we had not played against before. Unfortunately the matches we're not a lot of fun, it was never close and they we're using a lot of pve gear.
Anyway, we got our exact rating back (2423) and took rank one again, but if Eld won't play with us anymore this might be the last week in a long while that we can keep this spot while we are looking for a substitute.
BTW Quoted from "The best player you've faced" thread on our BG forum:
Viludin: I'd have to give some well earned credit for Esko, Tarmed's hunter. Being able to control multiple people at the same time is just wow :)
:D

Goodbye
First of all Eldpojken has announced that he will stop playing WoW. He is trying to get his life back on track and WoW understandably doesn't fit into the picture. This is of course a tragic loss for our team as he was a big part of it, a great player and a fun person to be around. Best of luck to you.
This means that we are looking for 1 amazingly geared warlock to take his spot. A mage would not be unwelcome, but we need a warlock to fit Glasmastarn on the team unless we have a 2xwar setup as well. This person would of course have to have very good skills as well as knowledge of all other classes and the game in general. He/she would need to be able to speak on vent and have a lot of arena experience. And he/she would have to be Swedish.
We played 4 games today, all versus knockout. Esko was not available for play, but we knew there were at least two 4-dps teams playing so we thought we'd queue up anyway. Apparantly though we struck out and got Knockout, a team we can not possibly beat with this setup.
In the first game we lucked out/they screwed up and we managed to win, giving us 13 rating. The other three games were big losses though. They had like twice our damage on every position, and i get oom instantly with mana drain, viper sting and mana burns. If i try to dodge viper, i get MB'd, if i dodge MB i get vipered. And mana drain of course ignores LoS.
We ended up at something like 2383 which kind of sucked, but whatever. In the light of the news that Eldpojken was quitting rating doesn't really matter. Seems like we won't be playing in a serious setup for a while.
PERSONAL BLOGGING STYLE TAKE TWO: Today i ate a muffin, went for a car ride with Esko, talked to my oldest brother, made friends with a fly, brushed my teeth four times, went for a walk, watered my moms flowers, listened to the 500 greatest songs of all time, met Niklas and spent the night drinking alone. Next week i will be going to Stockholm to stay at my brothers place for a few days. I have not been able to sleep properly for a couple of days. This Monday i will find out whether or not i get in to the school i have applied to to fix my grades. I am tired of WoW. I have nothing better to do. For now.

Rampàge
I'm getting really fucking tired of this battle group. It has now become impossible for us to get games in 5v5 unless we plan something with other top 10-15 teams on IRC. The grass might not be greener, i have not played in other battle groups so i don't know but this feels so stupid. People are PvE'ing instead of queuing up. *SADFACE* IF IT IS SCRIPTED IT IS BORING, STOP IT.
If the situation is different for top teams in the Cyclone BG (i.e you can queue up most nights and get games that give at least 5+ rating) let me know in a comment, because we're growing pretty tired of this.
We have some matches planned vs Knockout this weekend, i sure hope they don't get a surprise raid or something. I like this team. I think they're mostly nice guys and they play well which makes for fun games. I just wish they could kill Illidan soon and get this PvE-business over with.
Now i'm going to try my hand at a more personal style of blogging: I'm eating tortellini, i'm thinking of getting a dog, i need to get my grades up fairly soon so i can do something with my life, a close friend of mine died last weekend when she fell through a roof, Esko will never have any real problems in life because he is too organized, smart and nice. What do you think? TERRIBLY EXCITING HURRAH!
PS. 2423 rating atm, rank 5 in the world according to this and our dear Glasmastarn is now the highest rated 5v5 druid in the world. Congrats!

2400 ^p^
Fucking awesome 5v5 today! Knockout we're queuing and this time we had the right line up. With Glasmastarn we can't punish exael enough for being affliction, but hunters are great versus locks and especially when they're not SL. So it was a mirror match, rank 1 vs rank 2 in the BG both playing pal/war/priest/lock/hunt.
We won the first two games, then lost the next two. We win, they win, we win, they win, and then we won some more. The score was 7 - 4 in our favor when we had to stop queuing, overtaking their number one spot and sporting a rating of 2409! Our highest rating yet by the way. ^^
It was probably the most intense and even series of games i've played so far (perhaps baring Testify vs Full Patàge ^^). A lot of the matches ended up 3v3 in the end, and one game in particular was amazing to watch.
I say watch, because i was the first to die. It went from 4v5->4v4->3v4->3v3 (mirror pal/hunt/war)->2v2 (mirror hunt/war) to a 1v1 with Dassantwo vs Majin, both at ~15% hp.
They both bandage, then get the charge of at exactly the same time, followed by an intercept at the same time. Dassan got slightly lower on HP and was screaming on vent for a mace proc ("COME OOOOON SKILLHERALD!") but it doesn't come. He gets off a war stomp before Majin does and he kills her with ~2% hp left himself. It was fucking awesome.
Another good thing was that we finally met Your Nightmare again. We have only met them like twice before and they won both matches because of insane damage that we couldn't really counter at the time. They were being dicks about it even though they are not very good players (game 1, counterspells landed on fontaine: 0/6) so it felt really good to get back at them.
Malin, rest in peace.

Bla
Haven't written anything in a while now. I visited Murph this weekend and met Fontaine as well which was fun, but i couldn't play any arena. We have played twice since then though and we have gone up and down in points, and yesterday we ended at rank 2 with 2338 rating, with Knockout taking the rank 1 spot.
Not going into details now because i cba, my head hurts, it seems that we often get the wrong setup for the night due to bad luck. When we face nuke'ish teams, we have Esko instead of Glas, and when we faced Knockout we had Glas instead of Esko (having Esko would have made it a mirror and would have countered their insanely geared affliction lock Exael a lot better). Better try to have both online on the nights we play.
That's all for now, in the future i will try to update every time we play like usual.
PS. Big thanks to Grinder for helping me out with leg enchants for both my shaman and my priest, Grinder ftw!

Yesterday we played 13 games. After five wins we lost to some nab 2xwarrior/shaman/priest/lock team by simply playing really badly. Their lock got into range of Fontaine too easily so he got cursed etc and since we were playing Esko instead of Glas i had to do all the healing, and i can't keep someone up with 2 warriors and a lock on him. No decurse ftl, no cyclone ftl. Thirty fucking rating in one game. We were at 2309 and went down to 2279, and we had to get it all back again. I think we ended at like 2309 or 2307 i can't recall.
This weekend i will go to Linköping to stay with Murph for a few days, and i will also get the chance to visit Fontaine and Eldpojken. Will probably be a lot of fun!
I think we will play again tonight, we'll see.
Update: Nope, no 5v5. Instead we killed Gruul for the first time. They wiped n' wiped until yours truly stepped in and SAVED THE DAY. (True story)

Yesterday was fun but annoying. No real teams were playing but Knockout had taken our rank 1 position when we weren't able to play, so we wanted it back. Slowly but surely we started climbing to beat their 2280 (we started at 2262) and the most points we got for a game was 6 from Burn in Fayaah (a 2xwarrior team that used to flame us about how hunters and druids are totally imbalanced :D).
We got 2281, then played a few more games thinking we'd like to get 2300, but at ~2290 we screwed up and lost 25 rating. That was the annoying part. It took us like an hour to get back to 2281, and we stayed there knowing Knockout wasn't going to play any more this week and thus probably having the rank 1 spot secured for this week as well, even though it was by 1 rating hehe.
I have been trying to find someone who can craft Resolute Cape. I'm trying to get as much armor as possible for use against 2xWarrior teams (i.e Take Random, but perhaps especially Bloodparasite since they still seem to stick both warriors on one target).
In other news, one of the biggest guilds on our server (Victorus te Saluto) disbanded yesterday when their officers went off to join the best pve guild on the server (Yoh). Could this result in some actual pve progress on the server? I do not know. Hopefully!
I have also been talking to some friends in Into Oblivion (Dassantwo's guild) and i might be joining them with my shaman to do some light pve when i feel like it and they feel like it. We will see though.
That's all for today i think. I added links to SG and Radikal which i think are two of the better (but also most well known) blogs about WoW-pvp right now.
