World of Warcraft: Nihilum invades USA MLG SD

By: Trevor Schmidt - Published June 10, 2008 at 3:36 PM EDT - Writer Archive
One of the best guilds in the world will be sending its PVP team to MLG San Diego, intent on breaking up the USA party.
(GotFrag) - EU could take the US by storm later this weekend as one of the late sign ups for the MLG’s first PC event was none other then Nihilum. Backed by eSports powerhouse Mousesports, Nihilum has made a huge name for itself in World of Warcraft as the best guild in the world.

Their record inludes World First Kills of Illidan of Black Temple, Lady Vashj of SSC and Kael`thas of TK all of which were the “End-Boss” of WoW during their respective times. Their foray into Player versus Player has gone extremely well as the team representing them in MLG San Diego is currently ranked #1 on the Cyclone Battlegroup, the toughest in Europe.

Their lineup features a double healing team which could present longer more defensive natured battles.

United Kingdom Ryan van “hydraa” Buiten – Discipline Priest (43/18/0)
United Kingdom David “beasteh” Mountford – Resto Druid (13/11/37)
United Kingdom Johnathan “cherez” Martin – Marksmanship Hunter (9/41/11)

Their appearance at MLG San Diego could open up an interesting debate about who is the best in the World, USA or Europe. USA has clearly walked away the victor in the past with Pandemic winning everything last year. Pandemic was followed by fellow American teams from Battlegroup 9 which has shown to be the toughest in the World competitively for PVP.

“We're looking forward to the chance to compete against all the big names that have been to previous live events,” said Martin, “With Pandemic topping a lot of previous competitions it will be fun to see if they play at the level we are expecting them to.”

Check out the full interview with Johanthan “cherez” Martin here. MLG San Diego will host the showdown between top teams this weekend and GotFrag TV will be providing live streaming video coverage of all the WoW competitive action. More information can be found in the links below.
