Teams continue to vie for top position in the $200,000 3v3 arena tournament Slash Bark continues to hold on to the top spot with a rating of 2056. Last weeks second and third place teams Let's Be Friends and Jacked as F have dropped into fourth and fifth places respectively, giving way to MoB Gaming (2022) and Eclipse (2020).
RMP teams are well represented among the top contenders. The top 11 teams are all within 100 points of first place, and I wouldn't count out any of the 20 teams over 1900 ratings just yet. At this point all team rosters have been locked and new additions cannot be made.

The remainder of the tournament will include a second qualifying round, followed by regional contests for a shot at the prize money. MLG Is preparing a $22,500 tournament as Blizzard works to make a place for WoW PvP as an Esport, without damaging the PvE game. I suspect that the second qualifying round on the tournament server will be much less popular than the first.
The WoW Insider team fell prey to scheduling difficulties with our Friday Night bouts, but should be back in the saddle this week.

I'm pretty sure Slashbark is a bugged team thats ranking didn't reset on the armory when the 2nd phase started, there are a number of bugged teams still showing up :-/

I dont know alot about the tournament server but it seems teams are having a harder time getting thier ratings up in a more even, skill based setting. With the current standings no one could even buy a set of shoulders.

And thats what a lot of people think is going to happen when S4 come out, and the casuals stop playing, or play only for a short period of time, since there is not much for them to get without being good, and all the fights turn into the good against the good, and those new ratings might be a bit high......

Slashbark 3's team has a priest as the only listed member... I'm puzzled as to how that works...

It's so unfair that you have to be good to get gear. Did you know that you have to play at a certain level to get some pieces of the best PvP gear in the game? Not only that, you actually have to KILL Brutallus to get your T6 belt. How unfair is that to casuals!?!?

I hope you're joking (I'm laughing my ass off), but if not I will just be laughing harder.

If I needed any more proof that I'm not fit for PvP, it's the team names on display. They read like the scribbles on a 12-year-old boy's algebra notebook.

The arena is the domain of pre-pubescent, ADHD addled, hyperactive kids.

Wonder how many of these teams are paying people to farm them points, or are win trading.
The arena is such a joke.

The article is incorrect. The rankings page is broken, see Bornakk's post:

I should say "the article may be incorrect". There's no specific information in Bornakk's post, except "we're looking into it".
