Heres the basics of Arena Point Distribution:

Each week, during tuesday maint, your team is awarded a point value based on its rating.

Example: Your 5v5 has 1400 rating. Lets say hypothetically this gives 350 points. Each member of your arena team gets 350 points if they played at least 30% of the total amount of games the team played.

5v5 teams get 100% of the available points per team.
3v3 teams get slightly less per team.
2v2 teams get further point reductions.

I have no idea why 3v3 and 2v2 teams do not get as many points as 5v5. It probably has something to do with 5v5 requires more people to do, so thats the bonus. Either which way dont feel you need to do 5v5 to get ahead. You can still progress with 3v3 and 2v2 to get items.

All teams need to play at least 10 games a week in order to be rated.

How long:

This depends on your skill, and the skill of your team mates. I dont wana say “sub par” however teams bellow 1501 (1500 or less) have to wait a much longer time to get points then those at 1501 or higher. Once your team reaches 1501 the mathmatical formula to get points becomes exponential. This means a very large increase in the amount of points you get.

A team with around 1600 rating can expect to get an item every month or so if they are 2v2. If you are in 3v3 its similar but more expedient, and 5v5 you have more points so you would most definatly be getting 1 piece in a month at the least.

You only can get points from one team per week.

If you have many teams, the team with the highest number of points awarded to it, will be where you get your arena points for that week. Even if your 2v2 was 1900 rated, and your 5v5 was 1850, your 5v5 would give you more points. So you would gain from the 1850 rated 5v5 team.

Not sure if this is a bug but it seems that a level 10 rogue with all twinked gear can solo Van Cleef. His dodge rate was a record 109% percent.

I wonder if it works if you’re level 70. I bet it doesn’t!

Team Pandemic won 3:0 against Fnatic. They went through 63 Chinese teams, 1 European team and 1 US team to claim the title WSVG World of Warcraft Champions.

Going back to their press release from a month ago, the team has progressed really well.

Mark Dolven, President of TeamPandemic LLC, had this to say: “I am very excited to see the Team Pandemic brand expanded in to the World of Warcraft universe. The group of guys that we have been able to recruit are the best in the business. We cannot wait to see what they accomplish for themselves as part of our teams. We will provide them with every tool they need to become the best World of Warcraft team in the world. The sky is the limit for these guys.”

Man, I hope he doesn’t mean they’ve been using Chinese farmers and bots to hone their skills!

Anyway, if you want to know what team Pandemic’s gear is, look no further. Here’s Power Trip’s gear.
