Avada Kedavra wins Cyclone Tour #1

ImageThe first edition of the Cyclone invitational 5vs5 tournament has been a huge success, and today the winner was crowned after a really close mirror match featuring the new and agressive rogue, mage, warlock, priest and druid setup.



Coming from the lower bracket, ShowTimed had to win two best of five series in order to take the title, however the winner was decided after only one which Avada managed to win 3-2. As mentioned earlier, both teams plays the exact same setup, although the rogue specs is what differs them. Adrasill from Avada plays assasination/shadowstep while Zom(formerly known as Xom) is famous for his success with mutilate. Adrasill is currently the highest ranked rogue in the world, and Zom used to be, however their specs seemed to have quite an impact of the game. Avada took two straight wins before Xom ditched his beloved mutilate and instead went deep combat - which seemed to turn the tables around as they won the next two games, and finally lost the last.
