Battleground

Warsong Gulch

Warsong Gulch, commonly referred to as WSG, is a ten on ten capture the flag battleground. It is a two base environment with the Horde base to the north and the Alliance base to the south.

Zerg

This is my personal favorite strategy. This strategy is a big offensive plan. It involves either sending all or most of you players to the enemy flag. Your team will all rush the flag and try to kill the enemy flag carrier on your way back to turn in the flag. You can leave two members to defend your flag just to slow the enemy flag carrier for for massive offensive group to get back and kill him. This strategy seems to be highly effective and is recommended.

Balanced

This strategy is as it sounds, your team sends five players on offense and leaves five for defense. This is highly effective teams who zerg. This can often lead to long drawn out battles. This strategy is recommended if you notice the opposing team is zerging against you.

Arathi Basin

Arathi Basin, know as AB, is a capture point battleground. For every control point your team has, you gain resources. The first team to 1600 resources wins. The five points are; Blacksmith, Farm, Stables, Gold Mine and Lumber Mill. This battleground is a 15 v 15 battleground.

There is only one main strategy here and that is to split your 15 players up into well balanced groups. Each group should have a healer and a mix of range/melee with different crowd control abilities. In this split you should decide which groups are going to which points. Ideally you team can hold on to three of the five points and win. I recommend only holding three of the five if you are with a random team. Holding the tree points with balance teams is almost a sure shot win. With this plan you should see much success in Arathi Basin.

Eye of the Storm

Eye of the Storm, or EotS, is a mixture of Warsong Gulch and Arathi Basin. It consists of 4 capture points and a neutral capturable flag. The four points are; Mage Tower, Draenei Ruins, Fel Reaver Ruins and the Blood Elf Tower. In EotS you obtain points by holding points and capturing the flag. The more control points you have the more points you get for capturing flags. There are a few different strategies to win this battleground.

Zerg

This strategy works best with a heavily geared team. Your team should split up into four groups. The main plan of this strategy is to control all four points as fast as possible. With extremely geared groups you can achieve victory within 5 minutes. Once your faction caps the first two points closest to the original point spawn, 2 players from the groups in charge of those points should stay to defend them. The rest of those groups should push the towers to the direct north or south and help cap them. With this power you should be able to take to last two points and win quickly.
