Montreal will play host to the second Extreme Masters Global Challenge event this year. It will be the fourth major World of Warcraft event in the span of three weeks in what is quickly becoming a test of endurance for the top teams. Fnatic Orz, Nihilum Plasma, Gravitas, and x6tence are all in attendance, and are top contenders for the title. However, with the tournament being the first to run the new 3.0 patch, we could see a new team take the first place prize, as players have had little practice with it.

The top performer from each group will move on automatically, while the second place finisher will play the third of the opposing group. The event will then conclude with a four team double-elimination playoff.

It's not aAa Agita team who play at Montr�al.

It's "aAa nawaK" team, whithout the mage Loyd, but with the mage Pheonix. It's not the team who was at Madrid or CGS, but the team who was at BWWI :)

Hafu + druids not being as op'd anymore + her being only slightly above average on the only class she plays + not being able to play other healers well = bad for fnatic.

True skill comes without effort

#4 i'm sure they will do alright depending on how they approach this lan and how good they are or even how good the other teams are on the new 3.0 patch and depending on how many teams have gotten use to it. So i mean in the end your prolly right but who knows could go both ways if ya look at it, i mean you gotta also look on how good warrior/druid/lock is going to acutally be now, with all the updates changes that could be the weak combo just by default, so it will be for sure intresting on how this lan plays out.
