Avada Kedavra beats Nihilum - ready for final

The WB final of Cyclone Tour #1 was finished tonight and it looked very much like most other games in the tournament so far the "drain setup" Warrior, Hunter, Warlock, Priest & Paladin vs the new "Rogue with 2 healer team" Rogue, Mage, Warlock, Priest & Druid.



Avada Kedavra took their third straight win in the tournament with three straight wins against Nihilum, who were back to playing their normal setup. Nagrand, Nagrand and Ruins of Lordareon were played, something that slightly favoured Avada.
- "I would say we have a slight advantage in those arenas, at least if you look on an early perspective of the match due to it's a lot easier for me to get a sap and opener in. Also the target we mainly focus is a lot easier for me to stick on with dispelling and such as the arenas are more 'open'." says Adrassil, Avada Kedavra's rogue.

Thee of the five highest rated teams in Cyclone play the relatively new Rogue, Mage, Warlock, Priest & Druid setup, and two of the three remaining teams in the tournament.
- "Right now I would say it's one of the strongest setups out there, the crowd control and coordinated burst the setup can put out is really hard to control for the other team, the setup works a lot like RMP in 3v3. It's hard to say why it's so successful in Cyclone at the moment because the 'normal' and common setups don't differ that much compared to other battlegroups, maybe it started to develop here and we might see a big increase of this setup in other battlegroups soon as well."

Nihilum will now be facing ShowTimed in the consolation final, and the winner in that match needs to win two best of five series in the grand final in order to take the first place. They played each other earlier in the winner bracket semi-final, where Nihilum came out on top after using a three healer setup, something that they won't be doing in this match.
- "If Nihilum runs their regular setup that we faced today I think it will be ShowTimed for sure," says Adrassil when asked about their opponents in the final.

Movies from Avada's Rogue and Priest POV will be available here later tonight, so stay tuned!
