It was filled with op players. But ye, Xaryu is insanly good (have comparison - was playing areans on some private arena tbc servers; i have to admit i dont remeber much from retail tbc).
I'm just spitballing here, but people seemed to value private server experience & professional tournament play experience with their choices. Both are fair points if you ask me, and still they were wrong looking at this world first :D
What i got out of the arena situation was that when every player was asked why they picked this player (when xaryu was the other choice) they always mentioned communication and flow. Made me wonder if xaryu was hard to get along with but sometimes it's just finding the right fit.
Xaryu is honestly water next to Rivah... Rivah has literally been r1 in both 2s and 3s since season 1 TBC retail back in 2007.. Also, just to mention - he has acheived rank 1 on ALL tbc private servers.. and if you've played those, you know how hardcore the top20 arena players are at such servers.
Really curious if MQG will be considered bis throughout TBC. In an arena environment that amount of haste seems better than any other spell power trinket, maybe apart from Skull of Gul'dan from Ilidan
Ah the battle at 2:00 was the tbc warrior meme that’s been going around since tbc classic was confirmed. It was perfect and the sheep sound over the match 😂😂😂 sheep sheep nova cone of cold pet nova blizzard cold snap nova pet nova again. Just stay in that block of ice nice warrior. You’ll get heroic leap in cata classic 😂😂😂😂
Warriros in cata have not that much mobilty. Ij WotLK it was much easier to stick onto a target with intercept and charge not sharing cooldown like it was in Cata. And leap had double the colldown of an intercept. So I'd take WotLK mobility over cata any time of the day. In mop tho it was better. Two charges and a leap on a short cooldown and a ranged stun that was sick
Hey, thats manipulation. They said "top private server players will be at the top of ladder". Did you see anyone doubting in Xar? Both him and guys like mir or this french mage rivah will be getting gladiators and fancy mounts :).
@@Slashresto Well, half of those private server top tbc players were gladiators on retail too :). They are world class players. They were playing wotlk and tbc arenas instead of bfa or shadowlands because wotlk and tbc is more interesting for a lot of peeps. Meta in current wow is to pop offensive cooldowns to make opponents use deffensive cooldowns and then chill the game until next go. In wotlk and tbc each second is precious :). So for instance as double dps team you usually cant reset. Just watch these games. The only heals xar and his rogue mate have are bandages.
@@krowaswieta7944 Im well aware, ive been around on every Pserver thats been big and isnt classic so. The diffrence is that players like Xaryu and Soda, Pika etc they've gotten top 10 world ranks for 10+ years vs some Pserver andy whos been like top 1000 or smth once or twice. You can't even compare them thats how big the skillgap is.
Lol people saying mage is broken probably never played one. Go level a mage and try playing it in arena, reach 2200 then come back to post here. Xaryu just make it look easy cuz he’s that good.
Very true, they are very strong in the right hands I mainly remember Warlocks being a pain for them in BC but I could be mistaken as thats me trying to recall back to 2007 lol
Xar is insanly good player - no doubt about that. But its also true that the best team in tbc is mage + rogue :). Ofc lock + druid or warrior + druid, rogue + druid are also really great comps. So if you want to higher your chance of getting glad you pick either mage, rogue, warlock or resto druid. Obviously it requiers a lot more practice hitting glad as feral druid, hunter (well, hunter isnt that bad) or paladin :). That being said, to hit rank 1 you need to be really good player no matter what class and spec you play.
@@israilbatashov1360 that was not even the problem, he didn't use Counterspell to interrupt polymorph or even try to help his partner , he used it when druid was dead already kekw
Gonna be honest pika snaked him last year...I had come back to play live and was watching the streams. When xar returned from classic and he was rusty,pika avoided playing with him. I think that left a bad taste in xars mouth and even though they seem ok now there is still a bit of that tension from xars side.
@ 15:31 sheep 🐑 DR was done when the enemy rogue kidney shotted you could have sheep him full. The rogues second blind was still good on the druid. It's okay nobody is perfect I just wanted to point out that was a possibility.
I love how they aren’t facing many real TBC comps in this video, minus a resto Druid/lock but that druid went tree lmao. The luck of their match making (wish I had spins like this!). Once locks get better gear these matches will be more realistic. I’m looking forward to seeing how they play vs. an afflock in full season 2 gear.
Rotation is your general usage of abilities. In PvP there is no generalization. You don't cast a 2 second frostbolt if you have a freeze proc. But you do cast it into a set up as a shater combo with an ice lance. In PvP you don't have 100% uptime on a target unlike in PvE. So every abilty cast os dependant on the current situation.
I will never understand why there are no 2v2 awc tournys. Like brackets for double dps or dps with healer or maybe no brackets, just all comps against all comps. In tbc and retail. It’s so fun and requires a lot of skill imo U and nahj are the best rouge mage 2v2 team in the world, I am a fan but I feel like that’s the truth objectively (retail and tbc)
The meta in 2v2 is too strict. Literally no warrior will evet win a 2v2 tournament cuz they suck in 2v2. In 3w however it's a different story. There's much more wiggle room when it comes down to comps and counter comps
@@Fr33mx u are totally right about that and i get it but still in 3v3 there are also classes/specs which aren''t played cause there is a meta for everything. in 2v2 its more strict right but i think it would still be fun and maybe if it would be seen more as fun. idk its naiv but i guess its enough to see 2v2 games on YT. it would be unfair on tourny level u are right
@@ciruhtv fair enough. I would also like to see a 2v2 tourny, but it's just gonna be RogueMages and their counters. If you knownthe match up and play it perfectly you win, isbit really a tournament then If the deciding factor is what you pick into what instead of how you play it? Don't really think so.
i guess he loves the screen shake... like the pvp but can't watch it to long as he wiggles everything to much for my taste... Still liking this video because he is a bad ass mage!
The way he says "tbc is so much fun" with a completely dead face is a perfect summary of all these streamers claiming world firsts in 15 year old content for whatever they can, so they can churn out content.
I wouldnt say a "dead face" lmao he had just been focusing hard. Streamers do whatever they can to churn out content regardless, it's what they do. You're comment seems completely personal but hey thats okay. The game being 15 years old is irrelevant. People still play sports invented hundreds of years ago, people still read books from hundreds of years ago; games can also be timeless, and wow is obviously one of them.
@@BOOhaha96 except a football team changes, their tactics evolve, and books can still be new to you. there is nothing new about tbc. if you started playing wow after tbc, and been playing retail, you could claim that it is new to you, but it's not.
@@marton_horvath The tactics evolve but the game is the same. There is a reason literally thousands of people are replaying the game, and out of all of them you are a great minority to have that negative opinion. The vast majority of people playing tbc ingame have the opinion that they love it. There is a reason this game could be re-released and be successful while so many other games could not.
insane how dog shit ppl are at 2,2k on retail. Like on a private server you´d be facing rivah and mirlol and other insane ppl at this raiting, instead you get a mage who gets cs´d on frost then dies in a swap rofl

Xaryu, what is your addon called that show the CD of the enemy warriors spell reflect?
And also the addon that shows enemies bars incl pvp trinket CD?
Awesome man! Your content is alway fun....many good memories of back in the days.
Watching this makes me wonder why no one picked Xaryu in the asmongold tbc arena tourney…
It was filled with op players. But ye, Xaryu is insanly good (have comparison - was playing areans on some private arena tbc servers; i have to admit i dont remeber much from retail tbc).
Most of the top players were wondering the same thing, oh well massive loss for them xD
because the other players are better
I'm just spitballing here, but people seemed to value private server experience & professional tournament play experience with their choices. Both are fair points if you ask me, and still they were wrong looking at this world first :D
What i got out of the arena situation was that when every player was asked why they picked this player (when xaryu was the other choice) they always mentioned communication and flow. Made me wonder if xaryu was hard to get along with but sometimes it's just finding the right fit.
The amount of BM hunters with the ravager pets not knowing WTF they're doing is absolutely astounding.
Dude it looks like Xaryu isn't even playing the same expansion as everyone else lmao
And then there is me, about to hit lvl64 lmfao.
Also me
Barely making it to zangarmarsh at lvl 62 😂 i hate tbc, bring back vanilla
Vanilla was so much better
I miss the MOP days when you could alter time 2 instant pyros into a deep freeze
Having a pyro proc and a heating up at the same time was more important than a pom honestly
Hopefully we get a mop in classic I miss warriors and warlocks in MoP
Xaryu is honestly water next to Rivah...
Rivah has literally been r1 in both 2s and 3s since season 1 TBC retail back in 2007..
Also, just to mention - he has acheived rank 1 on ALL tbc private servers.. and if you've played those, you know how hardcore the top20 arena players are at such servers.

What's his add on to see clearly while invisible ?
I can't find it in his add on vidéo
Yo xar wp, u can slowfall to soak dispells in arenas idk if u know just something i learnt on private servers could be useful
he's soaking with rank 1 int/dampen. how much mana is slow fall?
@@maxcormier7821 probs more but u can open with it to avoid spam dispells at start
It costs 40 mana, defo worth to Spam before dampen which is 100 i think
that duel at the end was actually pog
xaryu typing a whisper to someone sounds like MLG gameplay... he like 200 iqing everything he does.
I gotta ask how does your vision not change when you're invisible?
How did you go from 0-2100 with naj when you played ranked with pika?
Tbc is so cool it's not like every class has everything like in retail wow
Yea man you are right instead only 5-6 specs are viable..
@@blakewaldrop6998 when u want to go for r1 yea but for gladiator u can go with every class and have fun when you are not bad at the game
So cool(3 classes at arena lol)_
Omg, as a person who mains priest I must admit that those lockouts on priests are disgusting, blizzard should make DRs apply on blanket silences.
Xar you switched up on Pika I didnt think you were that type of guy
One of the most iconic duos in gaming cant be done like that
He's always played 2's with nahj
he played 2s with nahj long before he played 2s with pika brother
@@gitgud4026 Xar and Nahj were iconic back when Pika was still choking his diaps with doo-doo.

Why didn't the rogue go eat in some safe place in the last fight ?
What rank of Cone of Cold does he use
Don't get it.. if icy veins+trinket into frost nova icelance frostnova isn't rotation then what is it?
A combo, but it's one go and done, not a rotating thing. unless the game goes unordinarily long

so clean
wait at 4:23 you hit frostbolt and icelance through cloak, thats sick
