How Pookz blew up eMg's Deathknight at MLG
Many people have been asking me how our team managed to pull off such a quick win against EMG in the final championship round. I'll be explaining the things that perfectly lined up for SK US to out zerg the powerful zerg of EMG's Deathknight BM Hunter Paladin.
Gates open I run in frost nova to delay their rushing opener, throw a cone of cold on the deathknight as usual and get a fireball proc. Since my rogue got flared out of stealth and chains of iced on top of the deathknight his only target at the time was the deathknight.
Right when I see *fireball* on my screen I decide to make the most of the given RNG. So I Icy Veins (to shorten the global after deepfreeze) > Deepfreeze > Improved Counterspell on the Paladin (so he cant heal or dispel the stun) > Frostbolt *5980* > Icelance *3344* > Fireball *3699*(all shattered into the Deepfreeze) > Fireblast *2365* to get the kill.
My burst alone was around 15,300 damage in the deepfreeze so that plus the mutilate damage thrown in by Enforcer scored us the instant kill on Flexx. We did not expect to get a kill at that time it was just a number of things that lined up in our favor that made it happen. Even if Payce had bubbled the silence to try and get a holy shock on Flexx he still would have died due to the global cooldown of Divine Shield.
The only way flex would have survived is if he had trinketed the deep freeze, after seeing his Paladin silenced, and used Anti Magic Shell. Players are very hesitant to trinket that early in a match because of how vulnerable to CC it makes them later in the game.
Well that's all, just wanted to write this for the people asking exactly what happened on my side of that game. Hope you enjoyed the MLG stream and be sure to cheer for us in Germany in a few weeks.

"rmp is ridicilously op" -no!
And because a comp is OP you want someone to avoid it? so if someone is a mage they can't join a RMP team? and if Blizz buff a class it means everyone has to reroll so nobody uses that buffed class? your logic is fucking demented, doesn't every game have weapons or items that are better that get used, do you whine about the AWP in CS?
Who gives a shit if RMP is OP, do you want everyone to not use it? lol, might aswell tell people not to use the AWP aswell then because it's OP?
WOW is casual friendly but arena isn't, you trying to tell me you can get 2 other casuals, make a 3on3 team and qualify for these offline events and win? why don't you talk with your skills and not your mouth and prove us all wrong, or do what all the other troll whiners do and just keep talking shit.
People like you always come here saying WOW is ez mode, anyone can hit 2400 rating or whatever, yet nobody backs that up with facts? so please, do us all a favour and win the next MLG if the game is so easy :P
"in this article you admit you're carried by wotlk burst and that rmp is ridicilously op thx alot"
True indeed, but who cares? you expect a mage not to use burst or take part in a RMP team? lol really, you any idea how pathetic you are? OMFG RMP IS IMBA DON'T FUCKING USE IT!!! hahaha, yea lets all play the game and nerf ourselves, don't use a good comp and lets not use good classes! YEA!
Troll more.
No game is balanced, you think CS is balanced? you think COD4 is balanced or WC3, SC etc? find me one game that is 100% balanced, you won't because you can't, Blizzard can't make every char as good as the other or every comp the same, so why don't you spend your time wanking over porn and not crying over something completely useless.
And you said HIS comeback was poor? ROFL! typical Dutch prick :P
get a team and try to finish a tournament 2nd 3rd 4th.... Show the world that you have skill and that rmp can be beaten, what it obviously can....
