After Realz released his video last week, as well as suffered all sorts of unwarranted-talking from his previous team WOW GOLD, it is great to see him qualifying. Most people took his video far too seriously, even though he stated that he was releasing it for fun and was rusty. I am rooting for his team to take one of the top 2 spots, and obviously he has proved himself in past LAN tournaments in that he is a generally well-rounded and talented priest.

Other teams composed of players with LAN experience, such as Team EG and Complexity should certainly be comfortable in a live environment, so they will only get stronger from here and will easily have an advantage over teams that will be hit by their nerves. Kintt should be able to share his experience with the rest of his team as well.

The main question will surround how well teams like "Well Then" will be able to do when certain members have relied so heavily on mod usage in the past. Zilea is already reported to have been practicing modless, and is finding it hard to adjust to the lack of constant updates on team buffs without mousing over. Certain things like this will undoubtedly affect their performance in a LAN environment. WOW GOLD is not an easy job.

In the end though, I think we will actually have some strong teams attending the Global finals, as we have 8 strong teams that will be reduced to the 2 best to represent us about WOW GOLD.
