Movie Review: Team Overall 5v5

This will be the first of hopefully many movie reviews, we will try to focus mainly on 5v5 arena, but those movies are not always the most common so expect the types to possibly change. This first week we will be covering "TeamOverall Arena 5v5 #1 EU-Cataclysme", who runs the cookie cutter Warrior, Paladin, Priest, Hunter, Mage.

Team Overall Arena 5v5 #1 EU-Cataclysme
Arena: 5v5
POV: Paladin
Length: 20 Minutes

Technical Ability:
This movie is extremely simple the way a 5v5 movie should be, since 5v5 your not going to see big numbers or huge crits your going to want to see whats going on, not a Mortal Strike critting on a hunter for 1500. No in game editing of the clips so all you see is what the paladin will see when hes playing.

Visual Content:
The intro is very short and sweet, no need for any dramatic scenes of people flying around on mounts or doing other silly stuff that peopledon't need to see. A simple display of their team and they get right into the action within a minute. The pally displays excellent work of line of sighting the other team in theNagrand Arena which is what every pally on a good team must do, if they don't it could break their team with deathly mana burns or what not. On Lorderon which isn't a LOS friendly map he is usually clustered up in the middle of action, taking aoe damages, he would benefit more more using the grave then again that arena can be very frustrating on a healer.

Audio Content:
I was once an avid collector of Counter-Strike movies when I was competitive in that game, and out of all of them I always enjoyed the ones that came from Europe the most because they know their techno music. The music flows very well with the play style of a Paladin which can be well kinda dull, not to say the music is dull just techno fits its style.


Overall: 4.5/5

Great movie, if you want to know how a Paladin plays his class correctly and efficiently watch this movie. If you can watch closely you can see he does a great job of using the few offensive abilities a paladin has: stunning targets with seal of justice, holy shocking & hammer of wrathing low targets. If you wanna know what high end arena is like with slow killing assisting down targets slowly with kiting and LOS'ing, this is your movie!

(If you are going to watch it, I suggest you use the stream from warcraftmovies, although it is slower, the quality is much better then file front)
