The Blizzard Tournament Realm is half way finished, and the competition is still very strong as teams are competing for an invitation to the Blizzard World Finals. There are a couple new makeups who broke the top 10 in both the US and EU, but the Paladin/DK/Lock combo still seems to be the popular and strong lineup.

New lineups appear, 2x healer

Compared to last week, there isn't a huge amount of change as far as the more popular lineups, but there are a couple of unique lineups that we have not yet seen on top. Perhaps the most shocking of the new ones is the Priest/Shaman/Paladin, where both the Priest and the Shaman run as healers and the Paladin plays Ret. With a rating of 2402, faceroll tunnel vision was able to get near the top with an unheard of lineup by most. Hunter/Mage/Priest ran by Walrus Attack Squad is another new lineup to the top 10, with a variation of the popular RMP makeup.

Another big change among the ladders on the EU side, is the fact that the #1 team runs the Paladin/DK/Warlock lineup, when last week none of the teams in the top 10 ran this makeup. Perhaps the EU players are realizing the strength of it after the first week of US standings being dominated by this lineup. None the less, there are still two more weeks remaining before the Tournament comes to an end, and we can be sure to see some more interesting changes as the end nears.
