Wow that looks awesome!  :o Just a couple things I'd like to know before starting out though:

- do addons transfer over, or is this going to be like the test server and revert to the default UI?
- what are the time requirements for each match (like say you live in Cali with your partners in Vermont and Oz... do you have to complete a tournament match within a specific 24-hour period or is it flexible?)
- Who wants to get a couple guild teams going?  :D

I know I'm not the best PVP'er on the face of the planet, but I have to say, something like this is pretty exciting!

You can make your addons work on the PTR... just gotta copy the files over although a lot of them will be broken if it has to calculate anything that the patch changed (like damage or threat coefficients, or the map or something etc...). It'll be interesting to see how the tourney works since it looks like everyone will be able to go full S3 everything, full chants, gems and all. It'll almost turn into more of a rock, paper scissors match it seems.

Druid + ms warr + high burst dps char = win still though...

I will totally join a team if someone wants, although I haven't done much arena, I understand class balance pretty well and am fairly good at pvp.

I won't...

Can't justify spending 20 bucks to lose.  Even with the best pvp individuals you'll still lose without the chemistry (and class composition) needed to win this thing.  Warlocks simply don't cut it in 3s with melee-happy classes that can burst us down even while drain tanking with a healer on us...

It's turned into a Counterstrike expansion, basically, so people can settle the score about gear/skill.









But I will sign up of course! Not that I'm a huge fan of WoW PVP, but I think it's a great idea to try 3 different classes with whatever specs, whatever playstyle you feel like; I think it would help in determining what class you enjoy most, and start working on your main. Admittedly I am not the best PVP'er but I would still like a crack at whoever if I can gear and spec my favorite class for free. (minus $20)
