The four Elemental Shamans, Aelli, Aellei, Aellii, and Aellie, are joined in Team Bubbanaught by Resto Shaman Bubbajingles, controlled by another player. The Shamans are flying high on their freshly-acquired Nether Drakes. The original poster has less than humbly declared that he plans on an even better showing in season four.
Along with many words of congratulations, this thread has its fair share of negativity toward multiboxing. Multiboxers in PvP are often a source of contention. Now, I know that not everyone loves this style of play. But you've got to give credit where credit is due, and this is pretty cool. Congrats Aelli, and good luck!
Check after the break for some video footage of the team.

I can't agree or disagree with any part of your argument (since it IS largely opinion) except for this one:
"Or maybe Blizzard can give EVERYONE the option to pay 5x the monthly subscription and get access to this "Multiboxing" functionality in game. Because currently, it is discrimination towards people that don't have the technical expertise or money to do it."
The multiboxing community has been VERY accomodating towards new people. For example: http://vboxing.net/guide
You can very literally take a preexisting computer and (depending onhow uber your computer is) easily dual or tri-box. If you've got a decent enough dual or quad-code, you might even be able to 4-5 box. How? Easy to use multiboxing software.
Those who want to get close to hardware boxing? We've got software emulators for keyboard multiplexers linked everywhere, and guides on how to cheaply create a home-brewed wireless keyboard "multiplexer" (hint: order theUSB receivers directly from the manufacturer)
So, in fact, ANYONE can easily multibox (even if it's as simple as2-boxing) just by reading the numerous step-by-step guides. You don'thave to be a techie. Literally EVERYONE can do it.

Strange that ONE multiboxer can create so much hatred?!
I would have understood peoples comments if 5 out of the top 10 teams where multiboxers on every battle group, but now its ONE team in ONE bracket.
This is the point I think people don’t see: If you have 6 equally skilled players, 1 of them runs one team of shamans and the other 5 runs another team (all shamans have the same gear) … thenthe team with 5 people/brains will win most of the fights (even though the boxer can get lucky from time to time).

Hey -- just wanted to let everyone know there is a WoW 3v3 tournament on Saturday that’s being streamed on thecgs.com. Leeroy Jenkins is hosting it (yes, the real one). The CGS World of Warcraft Arena Tournament championship battles start at 1pm (4pm on the east coast). Teams competing are: MoB Gaming, Frag Dominant Duelists, aAa Agita, and Nihilum Arena. The first place team wins 25 grand. Woot!
