Educational WSG 10v10 Premade [Week 3]

May I make a suggestion? Since the purpose of this premade is educational (it's right in the title!) then why not get the groups together and then spend some time talking to the team about the specific strategy that's going to be used, and what's expected of each class and where you want them to be etc.

For this to be truly educational and to bring more people up to a higher skill level, the experienced people are really going to have to take the time to explain how things are done, and why. I would recommend doing a mission briefing before we start, and then take a little time on both teams after each round to talk about what worked and what didn't. If everyone's going into this with the mindset that this is supposed to be training, and everyone's going to have something to contribute and/or something to learn, then I expect that no one is going to get impatient about us taking the time to actually educate people. If anyone has a problem with that educational goal for the premade, then I would say they didn't read the title closely enough.

I agree. I think we'll try that tomorrow evening. After teams are grouped, we'll spend some time talking about strategy.

I'll need to see about having someone do that for Alliance, though. I'm not sure who I can get for that right now.

Ultimately the goal is to take that time before/after games to go over what went wrong/right and how everyone can improve.

Part of the problem is that all of the veterans tend to get really focused in these because they're trying to make up for having newer players. Obviously people are still going to be doing their best to win.

Given that, it's hard to give specific bits of advice to the majority of roles ("Boomkin, do more damage.").

This is also an instance of where I don't trust very many people to accurately give constructive advice to newer players. With experienced frequently comes arrogance and impatience, I've found. I would love for [MENTION=14219]Fear[/MENTION]thebuns to maybe take a moment to speak with the alliance players to give them a pre-game strategy warm-up. However, I understand if he is unable to do so, given that he didn't sign up and may very well be busy.
 
Talking strategy and giving players tips sounds like a great idea.

Personally I know there is much for me to work on gameplay wise and I'd love constructive feedback.

I assume others are in the same situation and would feel the same way.

Not totally sure.

I probably will for Horde.

I'm not sure who will for Alliance.

Teams were really hard to balance this week. I'm pretty happy with the results, but I'm not sure who will TC or SC on Ally.

I have premade experience from 19's, but that was back when LSFTW was still on Laughing Skull...

I'd love it if you could try your best to Strat Call.

Even if you're not the only voice (or if you are), vocalizing an objective can only be helpful.
 
Just out of curiosity, are consumables and items going to be banned for this event?
i.e. can I use my Hardened Shell, Highborn Soul Mirror, etc

It's a wargame - so if it's not usable in Arenas, then the game bans it, not me.

Hello all!

I would like to start by thanking each and everyone of you who has competed in the 10v10's so far. You all have been very patient while Albino and I have worked to iron out all of the kinks in getting these games to run smoothly.

That being said, the goal of each of these premades is to be quick to organize, fun, and also helpful to newer players. Albino and I believe that the first week of our 10v10s was much closer to this goal than the second week. One of the major differences was that neither Albino nor myself competed in the second week. Going forward, I think it would be best if each side of the premade had a vocal organizer and strategy caller.

Originally we had hoped to have the population to fill the 10v10 without ourselves necessarily needing to compete. But going forward, either Albino, myself, or someone else experienced in leading premades will be playing on each side.

With that out of the way, I would like to open up the floor for all sign-ups. The premade will take place at the same time as the previous ones - Saturday at 8 PM EST. (January 17th, 2015).

I will update the rosters with people who have signed up by Friday 8 PM EST (January 16th, 2015).

If you could please PM me your skype information on TI if you have never competed in one of these 10v10's before. That would be awesome!

Thanks for making these events possible through your continued participation,

~Bop of Mok'nathal~

maybe domunique could fill ally rogue ?

I'm not sure. I'll mention it to [MENTION=21797]Deej[/MENTION], and see if he can play.

If anyone could ask Domunique about it (Not sure I can spell his name right for a tag), that'd be great.
 
It's like Dom is unique. [MENTION=10270]Domunique[/MENTION]
 
I changed my characters name recently from 'Domisunique' to 'Domunique' using the character restore method.

My real name is Dominic, the name 'Domunique' comes from my dance name that people started calling me, because of my unique style, I am a hip hop dancer (Popping).

Either way I'm honored that you would want me to participate in your Battlegrounds but unfortunately I have been taking a break from WoW, I haven't logged in for around 4 days and I'm really enjoying myself.

I will still be semi-active on the forum though.

Sorry for leaving you guys hanging :( I hope your Battleground Premades go well <3.
 
Hey, [MENTION=14687]elffies[/MENTION] might be able to play, messaged him on skype as well, hopefully he can fill for rogue.
