Horde takes the day, and the Kal'ai Ruins, in Americas PvP

Ron Burgundoom, reporting at an hour I have decided is breakfast, from Stranglethorn Vale, where Thursday's biggest fight was fought. In Americas PvP, the Kal'ai Ruins Horde Rout was a major battle, and the Horde took it narrowly. The Alliance answered at Arathi Highlands in the Alliance Push at Refuge Pointe, a narrow win of its own, and that was the only battle that side took in that world.

The Horde had the day all the same. It won the Whispering Gardens Brawl at night in Tirisfal Glades, then took the Hinterlands, Moonglade, the Barrens, Riverglades and Ashenvale. The Undercity Horde Gambit went to the Horde, decisively. Gnomeregan ended in a stalemate. I wore my cologne, Eau de Gankmoor, to the stalemate. It did not help.

Europe PvP split its fights. The Alliance won in Silverpine Forest and the Badlands, and the Horde won in Thousand Needles. Les Golems led the guilds. Sylvain Ronceval topped the Alliance killers, Bearnaise Sovs topped the Horde killers, and Arto Blackwood led the Horde healers. The day left the Horde ahead.

Stay classy, Azeroth.
