We should see the US standings posted soon. You can see the rest of the EU teams in the big listing over on the Armory if you want. Phase 4 of the tournament, Vaneras says, will be an invitational, and will start next week on April 14th. Congrats to all of the winners so far, and good luck in the rest of the tourney!

Is it me or are some of the arena teams really ... odd?
RMP top3 but then #8 is Druid Mage Shaman! lol

Just shows you class isn't everything. Still gotta have the skillz to pay the billz.

Why are almos all of the teams alliance? I would tend to think that people competing at that level are looking for any advantage that they can get but seriously, are horde that inferior?
Also, I briefly looked through a lot of the teams and couldn't find any warriors, whats up with that?

#6 is warrior lock druid
but yeh they are basically none

lolz, I didn't see any warriors either until Futue pointed it out, probably because I didn't expect there to be any warriors in the current standings anyways D:

Looks like Human and Dwarf racials rein supreme.

Leaves me wondering actually, with the change to Stoneform in 3.1 (no more 8 second immunity), will the same change take place on the Arena realms?
I could see some Dwarves getting a bit twitchy over that.

Racials need to be disabled in arenas. Period. This is SO stupid.

Don't you have to play 200 games to qualify for the next round? There are some teams on there with just 30 games played.

So is Ghost Crawler going to say that Priests, Mages, and Rogues are OP and need to be nerfed now? I guess that means that DKs, Holy Pallys and Warlocks need to be buffed again! ;p

I just wanted to point out that Paladin / DK / Warlock (shadowcleave) NEVER dominated the EU bracket. Every week the EU ratings have show RPM as the leading comp.
Shadowcleave only lead the boards in the US.
Im not sure why you posted an EU rating, then talk about shadowcleave losing favor while referencing old US rankings.

Shadowcleave held rank #1 on the EU brackets for like 2 weeks (inflames team) then started tanking to smart RMP's that were adapting. If there were more hunter teams doing well then there would be a pretty high chance that Shadowcleave would of had the room to dominate, but the comp is buckling under the plethora Feral Druid/RMP teams (pretty much their counter comps) on the EU ladder.

At least rogues get some love in Europe!
Rogues ftw!

Cleary, OBVIOUSLY, rogues and mages and priests need a nerf...
