The Fighting Mongooses, a World of Warcraft Arena team from Battlegroup 6 (Vengeance), have just recently been signed by Enervate Gaming, one of the top organizations in eSports. The Mongooses, who are part of a larger guild called For Great Justice from the the Mug'thol server, currently hold the number one spot in Vengeance.
The team attributes their successes to "extensive PvP experience and unparalleled level of group synergy." According to GotFrag, The Fighting Mongooses run a "blow-up" group with a frost mage, elemental
shaman, and warrior for their damage. Support is provided by a paladin
and a priest. GotFrag also had a chance to speak with the Mongooses' Zach "Destromo" Gebhardt. Here's his take on the Mongooses' strategy:
We really dont feel our setup is that much different than the other
sponsored teams. It seems like each team runs
Warrior/Priest/Paladin/Mage with the last spot being a toss up. I can
say that we have grown fairly comfortable playing against teams using
Power Trip's setup, as we have many teams on our Vengeance running the
same.
It also seems like elemental Shaman are rather lacking in
Battlegroup Bloodlust, so it will be interesting to see how they handle
our shaman. It will most likely come down to that different class and
how each team counters it. I can say that we greatly looking forward to
playing against them.
Here's the starting roster for The Fighting Mongooses
- Jon "Saturnine" Cresante Undead Mage
- Zach "Destromo" Gebhardt Troll Shaman
- Yan "Soulrender" Mi Undead Priest
- Jason "Kyna/Thraken" Rantanen Blood Elf Palaidn
- Mike "Korgan" Springmann Tauren Warrior
- Steve "Korbin" Springmann Tauren Shaman
