There is a Chinese saying that when tigers are away from the mountains, monkeys will reign as king. With the best European teams away in Blizzcon, Ensidia, Innerfire, AAA and Plan B qualified for the second round in an all-RMP final four. Keep in mind none of those RMPs qualified for Blizzcon with 3.1.3, and they probably have less of a chance in 3.2 if Woah and X6 played to get WoW Gold.

Is Europe "one- BG" mentality killing their creativity?  Prior to the creation of Cyclone, we saw so much creativity from the different European BGs, much more so than Americas BG9.  Today, the opposite is true as America has multiple BGs with different playing styles, while the "peer confirmation" syndrome turned Europe into the land of RMPs outside of Inflame and X6.

While RMP is still one of the most enjoyable comps to watch, diversity is extremely important when it comes to pleasing the audience. MLG is a much more enjoyable tournament to watch at the moment with its rich variety in team compositions.

They allowed him to play from home but they did have him streaming his perspective to ensure he is playing with the same UI of everyone else. Will this allow Chinese players to get around the visa issues about WoW Gold, so they do not have to run RMP with an American mage they never played with before, when their original roster was rogue/lock/druid like they did at last years Blizzcon?  Well they still have to get WOTLK first about WoW Gold.
