Week 1 started off strong with a very dramatic series between Heavy Greg and La Fine Équipe that went the full distance. Other matches this past week were dominations, setting the stage for some exciting clashes as these teams will be facing each other in upcoming matches. Frank’s Furters had a week off to size up the competition, and are likely looking forward to joining the fray.

Thrall has been played twice, and lost both. Sylvanas has been played three times, and lost two of those. Garrosh won the single match in which he was played. WHO’S YOUR WARCHIEF NOW?!
Week 2 Preview
The second week of Season 19 will continue the sorting process, as most matches will feature teams that won in the first week facing teams that lost. We will see if adjustments are made, bans are refined, as these teams continue to feel each other out in the early going. Most of these will be happening early in the week, so all teams will have time to review and analyze what happened, leading up to week 3.
Week 2 Game to Watch
One of these early games will be the clash between FUNdamentals and Daddy Shams Cat Lounge. The newcomers will take on the long time veterans on Monday, Feb. 17, starting at 9:00 pm EST. This will be casted live by The Sound so make sure you get your seats early! https://www.twitch.tv/thesound51
