During match point on April 10, Kawhi and Cloud9 fought in the Black Rook Hold arena. Kawhi’s team composition consisted of a Paladin, Rogue and Priest, while Cloud9 opted for Priest, Warlock and Mage. Kawhi focused on getting a mana advantage by pressuring each of their opponents, with their Rogue using Bone Spike and doing split damage as a Necrolord.

The players almost secured a kill on the enemy Warlock during the game, but Cloud9’s Priest came through with a clutch heal. However, that heal couldn’t overcome Kawhi’s continued pressure before the Rogue cloaked to ignore crowd control and burst down the enemy Warlock.

As for the European region, Kungarna earned their victory after going up against LF Org in Black Rook Hold during match point. The team’s Priest, Mage and Rogue faced LF Org’s Priest, Warlock and Mage. Kungarna’s Mage burst down the enemy Mage’s health total, with the latter player healing up and kiting hits. But Kungarna didn’t give in, using a blind and cloak to their advantage before taking down the Mage and closing out World of Warcraft Arena World Championship Cup 4.

Fans and supporters who want to keep cheering on these teams can stay tuned for the Circuit, which will begin on May 28 on YouTube.
