    Three other competitors didn’t survive what were supposed to be non-lethal qualifier duels on the day before the finals. One player tragically died right after winning a duel to a random explosion from their Goblin Rocket Boots. Another Goblin malfunction killed a player who was an official spectator for the fights.

    I am so glad I clicked through. This is great stuff.

        Can you use Goblin Engineering in PVP again? When I quit WoW they had completely removed engineering gizmos from battlegrounds and pvp zones.

          I haven’t played WoW since a very very very long time ago. Also I never delved in engineering :)

            It was amazing for battlegrounds and world pvp until they nerfed the shit out of it, and then eventually removed it. I remember when cataclysm launched you could engineer bombs that hit for everyone’s entire hit point pool, and then stand above the graveyard at Warsong Gulch, wait for everyone to spawn, and insta-kill all of them. It was hilarious. Of course the bombs were stupid expensive to craft, so you’d only do it a couple of times for the lulz.
