When you're not outstandingly good at something, it's always a good idea to surround yourself with competence if you still want to comment on it and look like you actually know your stuff. Therefore I decided to sit down with team Ensidia and old school WoW pro Spoh, who sadly couldn't attend Anaheim and watch the live stream footage. Why I do this is obvious: If I point something out and it's incorrect or even utterly stupid I can always excuse myself with "but Hydra said!". Solid plan? I think so.

First game of the day is the Korean team of Button Bashers vs EG. Here are some predictions from those pro players:

Kalimist: 3-1 BB
Hydra: 3-2 EG
Spoh: 3-1 BB

(they didn't recall it was round robin so five games are always played)

My competence team on vent seems to agree that not only has Hiren played one hell of a match, but also that Button Basher's lost these two games only because they didn't ride the pain train on Azael and once left open, an affliction warlock will just pick your game apart.

Kalimist had this to say:

"Hiren is a good Rogue who is great at managing his cooldowns, Tenderloin also impressed me. BB's team work in the last game was great, but they're losing due to bad target decisions."

This game definitely made me want to see more of Button Bashers, especially in a mirror against the two other RMPs at the tournament.

As I write this my heart beat is around 210 and I'm not even joking because SK EU just won it's first round. More from me later.
