I REALLY THOROGHLY ENJOYED THE FUCK OUT OF the introductions and the way you did it with the in game characters, close up. It just made it feel more personal? And immersive. Very good decision to do it this way, imo.
@@Exata1337 Sure, it felt more unique or funny to me, i didnt claim that this exact moment was some insane display of edge of your sit competition, especially compared to what happened moment before. But i feel that prolonged duels in a team pvp games always are to some degree epic (that is that they are talkied about/mimic epic tradition).
@S P pretty sure he’s talking about the joke when the double healer team was playing. Some was said like “they are trying to take turns drinking like people do at family events”
Dude the production is so good how is this better than the real esports?!? The way it looks like your interviewing their character is amazing and I love it!!! Very well done
I like the commentary alot but when rich starts to shout cast u can tell how much more professional and educated he sounds about what's going on I still appreciate asmons and esfands shout casting but rich's is just top notch
Hydra is the best priest in wow, always has been. For anybody who didn't know, he was in Athenes arena team back in tbc when he got the Merciless Glad title
I don't even play WoW (i would love to learn and play), and I enjoyed this 2 hour video of PvP and actually loved to see Asmon, Esfand and Rich casting this tournament!!! Please bring more stuff like this!
@@ominousbiscuit I play Poe and I always loved MMO and RPG games, and I get excited just watching Asmon getting like a rare mount or a really good piece of gear. And I watch daily the videos of the channel because its not always WoW sometimes I just really enjoy watching this kind of content.
Fuck now I’m thinking about reckful and the complexity team from the back in the day with toes snutz soda Edit: confused toes with venruki I’m a dumbass
hahaha at the drafting stage you can hear someone is whispering the next person in line to be introducing them selves because he can't see the screen funny little bloopers! :D
Im a super noob to wow. Just got my first character to 50 (Tauren, Hunter) on live servers (not classic). I have legit no idea whats going on in this video. But i love it. Been watching a while now just decided to take the plunge and actually play the game finally.
Hey that's great, the old wow days are very special to a lot of people and today the game is almost unrecognisable. You should consider playing TBC classic for a feeling of this, a more simple time.
This was infinitely better than any other casting I've watched. The vibe is chill, just gamers being gamers (even the cameo dancers who blizz would have shut down and killed the vibe insta). GGWP .. Rich was kinda funny too ngl
really love this, its a great thing to do with the community. And i love all the love people gave these combatants in chat :) Team captains were nice to hear speak
I love how wow's official pvp matches have only 10k viewers and rich who was let go by blizzard now gets to commentate for a 50k+ viewer pvp matches. Life really has its ways xD.
Asmongold could be the only guy that saves the tournament scene of wow. For real his transmog competition gets more live views than any other turnament. Just do it asmon pls.
That one interview where that guy got punched by the naked male draenei had me in tears, that was the funniest shit and idk why. Must be the sheer randomness of it I guess.
It's awesome to see all these people in the same tournament, especially if you have played on multiple p-servers. Guys like Mir, Klimp and Rivah are always on top on the P-server scene so it's awesome to see those guys playing with old legends like Hydra etc.
Was happy to be a part of this even if it didn't work out that well for our comp! Was super fun and love Asmon and gang for putting this on.
GG’s !
Well fought man, it was fun watching your games!
stop shillin though aka. buyin bobby's boat.
well fought man and I was so happy to see my favourite class on my favourite race represented. GG's
Was fun to watch thank you for participating and I hope you’ll be back for the next one!!
Esfand holding the mic to the characters is just *chef's kiss*
It was an immediate like when I saw that.
Haha yeah that was funny!
It is. I remember he did that back during the Classic Vanilla beta tournament and loved it.
This has that public access television vibe. I love it.
You right af
GGs. Whole tourny was so much fun. Huge thanks to the OTK guys for hosting this, can't wait for June 1st!
🔥 GJ !
GJ Hydra, you are truly King! That Rivahtai last ice block was sooo OP 🔥🔥🔥
hydra you are the goat , you played high pvp when this guys were kids
The most insane tournament of my life, was so intense! Thanks again for hosting it guys, happy to win the first ever TBC tournament, ouaw! 😄
gg man all deserve !
You guys were F'ing insane.
👏👏👏😎
ggs
Bien ouej gros
Spoilers dansgame wtf dude! Gg I guess ❤️
I am so impressed with how they chose to interview the characters in-game with esfand there using green screen. Its so clever and innovative tbh.
They did the same in the classic one
The interviews with the players and their in game characters are hilarious and amazing!
Ingenious
i wish they used emotes so that it would have felt like their characters were talking.
I love how he holds the mic out
That was a very smart move , it was really funny and entertaining
JIGSAW!
Esfand makes a great interviewer
esfand interviewing air lmao little bit weird but what ever.
very good at not letting the interviewed person speak :D
Boys in cata
@@rickyspanish1173 if only you understood how impotent your comment is.
Don't make other people pay for your depression.
@@rickyspanish1173lol? I don't watch anything but OTK.
The interviews for the captains when they chose teammates were amazing. Keep up the great work OTK!!!
I REALLY THOROGHLY ENJOYED THE FUCK OUT OF the introductions and the way you did it with the in game characters, close up. It just made it feel more personal? And immersive. Very good decision to do it this way, imo.
The length of these games feels really good. There is way more excitement than retail when there isn’t always a defensive available.

Haven't played since 2008, this is all sorts of nostalgia. So well done, hope you boys keep doing these!
Epic Hydra/Ghing 1v1 starts at 1:29:00 imo best moment of the tournament.
Dude flabberz played sick that game
@@joshholmes1372 flabberz was so good this tournament appart from some small mistakes
not exactly sure how that was epic, it was literally just an oom priest inevitably losing a 1v1 against a lock, as he should lol
@@Exata1337 it was more the play beforehand to set it up that was epic
@@Exata1337 Sure, it felt more unique or funny to me, i didnt claim that this exact moment was some insane display of edge of your sit competition, especially compared to what happened moment before.

Why is it so effing funny when Esfand interviews the players
Wow, I think Asmon actually took a shower!
Rico Dont bet on it. He probably burned that jacket after he finished.
They told him to.
Campbell you're the shit. On point and patient as hell with these two lol
This was absolute chaos and I loved every second of it.
That drinking joke by Rich has to be the best joke the whole tournament
@S P pretty sure he’s talking about the joke when the double healer team was playing. Some was said like “they are trying to take turns drinking like people do at family events”
@@Adumbfartzarano time stamp please
@@Adumbfartzarano 39:25
Im so proud to see OTK bloom like that!
I now believe in the multiverse and different realities..... because Asmongold is wearing a different shirt.
Suit jacket asmongold is an ultra rare.
@@muninnsmith7958 and a bath as well
@@muninnsmith7958 I wonder how many of them there are? In all the possible realities? Maybe 3?
Same shirt. Just with a bonus suit jacket
@@pyrozombi3 So I am in the same reality then? Phewww thanks for bringing that up.
This took place on reckful's birthday. I'm sure he would've loved it.
Wow, he changed his shirt. This must be important.
LOOOOOOOOL
@@WyattVandergriff Found a fake one guys.
I don't even play this game, yet these whole 2 hours were major fun to watch.
rich is so good, love seeing him in his element
trash. take the money away and he would disappear
@@milesverino4021 God damn lol. What he do to you? XD
@@milesverino4021 ofc, take any persons salary away from them and they will properly find another profession. Astute observation sir.
If only Reckful was here RIP
Why?
@@1jamerton Why not?
@@1jamerton why? Because he was a top streamer people like and he became famous from playing rouge in TBC or wolk idk
@@Adumbfartzarano Kids don't know. It's ok, just let them be.
Rich: Finally a task that suits me!
Asmon: I'll do the talking btw
Gotta say, Asmon is an amazing caster.
I was actually really impressed by Asmon's casting
I have never happily watched something so intently on TH-cam for 2 whole hours.
Love how esfand puts his mic towards the charakters when they’re talking in the pickingphase 😂😂👍🏻
Dude the production is so good how is this better than the real esports?!? The way it looks like your interviewing their character is amazing and I love it!!! Very well done
This has that “Wayne’s world” basement tv 📺 feel
"He paid me a lot of Faerlina gold to not play with Metaphorz". LMAO. @2:21
I am really looking forward for more of these kind of videos. A pleasure to see Rich comment
the whole first hour: "SAY IT"
Why would I wash my hands??
Backslashy with the sick dance moves in the background during the roster picks was the most MMO thing I've seen this year lmfao
the interviews with the characters is a really nice touch
That was the first time i was excited watching arena. Great tournament guys
I picked the wrong week to quit smoking weed
I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue
I’m still huffing and puffing
@@ChairmanMeow1 hang in there brother ✊🏻
@Daniel don’t rub it in bro lol
Damn, its been 1.5 yrs for me
Beautiful production, fresh format, clean studio, the best players and smart interviews.
I like the commentary alot but when rich starts to shout cast u can tell how much more professional and educated he sounds about what's going on

Man I really wish Reckful could have been here for this :(
Rest in peace
@S P I know this is old, but I'd have to disagree. Top TBC Rogue, although he may have been rusty =P
It looks like Asmon showed up like normal, and they were like.. Toss on Esfand's Jacket. lmao I love it
I don't even play WoW (i would love to learn and play), and I enjoyed this 2 hour video of PvP and actually loved to see Asmon, Esfand and Rich casting this tournament!!!
Please bring more stuff like this!
How do you end up watching this if you don't know how to play WoW? Not trying to be rude I'm genuinely curious.
@@ominousbiscuit I play Poe and I always loved MMO and RPG games, and I get excited just watching Asmon getting like a rare mount or a really good piece of gear. And I watch daily the videos of the channel because its not always WoW sometimes I just really enjoy watching this kind of content.
@@ominousbiscuit i don't play wow either but asmon is just entertaining.
@@ominousbiscuit a very large part of asmon's stream isnt playing wow right now, and of those a lot never actually played
Kid: Mom, can we have businessmen?
Mom: We have businessmen at home
At home:
Asmongold be looking sharp, damn!
Scuffed and professional at the same time. Love to see it.
Mir and Hydra, that's some names I haven't heard of since the Arena Tournament server days
Ya, I got flashbacks to early stream watching.
Love the camera angles they were able to do, keeps things interesting
this videos has more views a couple hours after release then the awc finals. top fokkin game bluzzard
Lol. That Thanksgiving drinking commentary. That.... Is legendary. Lmao! Levels deep. Nicely played sir.
This is a million times more entertaining than watching Retail Arena Tournaments
need more of this.
Fuck now I’m thinking about reckful and the complexity team from the back in the day with toes snutz soda
Edit: confused toes with venruki I’m a dumbass
it's his birthday today, too
Dude I was actually thinking about Reckful and how he might have played tbc arenas as a rogue, that would have been insane content!!
RIP reckful

Good idea Asmon ! Good Luck for interviewing
This is how tournaments should be hosted. So chill and not overkill. Rich, Asmon, and Esfand are all amazing 🤘🏻
This was infinitely better than any other casting I've watched. The vibe is chill, just gamers being gamers (even the cameo dancers who blizz would have shut down and killed the vibe insta).
GGWP .. Rich was kinda funny too ngl
Freaking love this - but Asmon really needs to let the other talk during the fighting as well :D
he knows nothing about pvp compared to the other guys
I agree, this annoyed me. its one thing to talk a lot but he was even interrupting them when they were trying to say stuff.
I love how he combs his hair from the back of his head to cover the top 😂😂
I think you guys did a great job, looking forward to the future events!
they should have some background music imo
@@Codex_0613 hard thing about that is, what music can they play without losing monetary from the whole event?
Please do more of these guys. I'm not going to be able to play much of TBC, and this makes me happy to watch.
Last time I was this early Asmongold had every mount in the game.
really love this, its a great thing to do with the community. And i love all the love people gave these combatants in chat :)
Team captains were nice to hear speak
This man asmongold just pulled a big move and killed it
So skill that fear and nova randomly decide to never break
This was more entertaining than any AWC has been for years.
How do you people watch WoW PvP in general? Shits boring asf
"5 stacks of sunder armor and... Haha boys, it's time to play the game."
Lol. That had me in stitches.
I love how wow's official pvp matches have only 10k viewers and rich who was let go by blizzard now gets to commentate for a 50k+ viewer pvp matches. Life really has its ways xD.
God I wish you guys did more of these, great stuff bois. Less cuts on the upload for the next one thank you.
dress shirt/tie + gym shorts= Business Sports
39:20 I loved how that was just dropped in like a totally normal commentator take lmfao.
Asmongold could be the only guy that saves the tournament scene of wow. For real his transmog competition gets more live views than any other turnament. Just do it asmon pls.
Best part about this tournament was the two casters drinking water and asmon with his mcdonalds haha never change asmon we love you
I watch your youtube channel but never comment. Awesome content bro! You guys did great! Keep it coming!
I love how Esfand is wearing a dress shirt and tie, but basketball shorts under 😂
Asmon is the best announcer that I've ever heard when it comes to WOW. Very easy to understand what's going on when he's explaining I feel.
It's nice of Blizzard to give streamers a head start for S1 arena by letting them practice on the beta for weeks
@@Carriesue1982 yeah I thought about it but it will not be the same unfortunately
It feels great being a warlock main.
For life bro
That one interview where that guy got punched by the naked male draenei had me in tears, that was the funniest shit and idk why. Must be the sheer randomness of it I guess.
This was awesome to watch, God Damm, makes me want to come back to WoW
All players with "ai" on the name "A"smongold "i"nvitational maybe ? xD
this was actually awesome, hydra's comment at the end about tbc arena compared to retail was also spot on, good shit
the only good content left in WoW....
and you don't have to pay over 100$ for it.
you guys are the last hope of WoW.
Awesome tournament - amazing to watch the teams get better and better as they adjusted to the fast pace of TBC. Well done to all involved.
The burning cashshop tournament nice
man, not even 1 minute and im already laughing!
Amazing video
Literally the professional caster spent the whole time getting talked over by Asmon lmao. That was hard to watch.
I love this public TV vibe you guys are giving. It's super relaxing and comfortable. Please keep up the great work you guys are doing.
OMG I love the interview format!!!
39:15 Now that is what I call entertaining and witty commentary. Bravo!
I lost it at that moment lol
Man, I loved this! It's so much better than the official streams. Love it
The production value on this is fantastic.
the interviews caught me offguard this was a godlike idea LOL
The dancing character interview bombing lmao I'm dying!
This was 10/10 production.
It's awesome to see all these people in the same tournament, especially if you have played on multiple p-servers.
Guys like Mir, Klimp and Rivah are always on top on the P-server scene so it's awesome to see those guys playing with old legends like Hydra etc.
This is actually so good just as soon as you mute the video.
21:50 that photobomb :o
They need to work on passing commentary to eachother but other than that. Amazing fucking tournament.
2:00:15 we all waited for this
