Grats to all that made glad without having to cheese it in 2s.

So, trying to get a feel of how many arena-goers/serious pvpers from this part of the world, from which realm, etc. Also trying to make a decision if I should xfer for S8 or not.

Because my battlegroup is in in the northwest and failmyx handicaps me out.

LOL you have no idea. Look at the map - US is not like Singapore or Korea mmkay.

Make an alt on kelthuzad (eastern). My alt 3s team plays there, and loving the 350-400ms.

Frostwolf? Wouldn't oceanic be better at all?

Going BG9, I've been told to have a team ready. So its a risky xfer.

LA = 210-230ms
Seattle = 270-320ms
Eastern = 300-400ms

This is by average latency only. And logically speaking, data traversing across longer distance has higher chance of degradation.

So you can get 270 or 300ms and think its nice and playable. But you can easily go up to 500ms for 3secs, and that'd lose you the game in the long run. Anyone serious about arenas should pick LA datacenters. Its not even a point of contention.

No arguments here. 400ms is a BIG deal.

Thats why you'll never hit glad or even duelist brah.

You mean Cyclone BG. Cyclone became a crap bgroup since s5, downrated to as low as whirlwind/emberstorm/nightfall.

Everyone I knew that's arena material in Stormscale have all xferred out. Stormscale never really had competitive pvpers to begin with-- other than 3-4 teams that were multi-Glad. They've all left and now Stormscale gladiator representation = 1 team. Sadly this 1 team is an xfer trying for R1.

In 3v3:
TBC 2k rating = WOTLK 2.5k
TBC 1800 = WOTLK 2k.

If you have decent team mates, you should be able to get 2400 with 350ms (not in BG9). Its just that you can't race for Glad and your team will probably kick/bench you.

No, dude. Just no.

Glad should come out this Tuesday. Then they'll realise a few hundred lvl70s getting glad title. So the tuesday after will be the confirmed Glads.

No. It's a bug on Blizz side

S8 is probably the most difficult to get glad because 2s give no title, plus 60% drop in no. of playing teams since they nerfed welfare epics.

You cant expect people to look up YOUR history from forums and threads. No one cares. All I know is that you have 500 games played on 3s so you have no real excuse not to reach 2k.
