Darkenbane plans on joining competition via www.caleague.com as Cal Open central. If you are interested in joining the roster, or at least helping DB train, get a wonid, download steam, join TS and talk to Sieges. This is a limited time thing, because once DB starts living up to its name in the game, everyone will want to join. Also, we are JUST starting out, so most people are just now learning the basics of 5v5 scrimmage and competition play, so now would be a really good time to start. Also, WoW is still a few months before release so you might as well play and see if you like the subculture if your not a beta tester.
For those of you new to CAL / eSports scene, it works like this.

Competition here is close to that of Cal I, those who make playoffs,
make it to Cal I.

Cal IM are the Cal O guys and Cal M reformed players who are on the brink of being elite.
They are good enough to beat Cal O guys, but still trying to move up the ladder.
