And finally for this past week, The Sound brought us all the action when FUNdamentals faced Daddy Shams Cat Lounge. We all know Medivh cheats, but this clips shows us that Malfurion isn’t exactly playing fair either.

Fun Fact of the Week That May Only Be of Interest to Me

All but 2 of the bruisers have been played in B East, and we haven’t even started week 3. Those two are Deathwing and Chen. The world needs more pandas!

Week 3 Preview

This week should see some fantastic matchups as most of the games will be between teams of roughly equal positioning on the current ladder. It is interesting to note that thus far, B East has preferred large maps in general, with the exception being the most popular map, Tomb of the Spider Queen. This ties in with this weeks fun fact, as when you are running a large map like Garden of Terror, why not pick more bruisers!

Week 3 Game to Watch

There is an absolute doozy of a series coming up this Thursday when two team with perfect records face off. Hot(s) Dads will be up against Braincellmates, starting at 9:30 pm EST. There is no caster assigned yet, but with casts happening left, right, and center, I am sure this will be picked up. Keep an eye on the calendar!
