Grim Batol
Grim Batol was founded by the Wildhammers. The Wildhammers abandoned their new home after the war with the Dark Irons left the place tainted. The Dragonmaw clan later moved in and attempted to harvest the eggs of Alextrasza for sinister purposes, though they failed to fully satisfy Deathwing. With the four Dragon Aspects confronting both Deathwing and the Dragonmaws, Grim Batol was abandoned. Members of the Red Dragonflight stayed behind to guard its corridors in the Twilight Highlands.

Now popcorn.... YOU. (Source)

Twin Peaks Battleground
That I can't say, but there will be a Twilight Highlands Battleground called Twin Peaks. The Alliance will be working with the Wildhammers in a struggle for land against the Dragonmaws backed by the Horde. (Source)

MLG Announces World of Warcraft as 2010 Pro Circuit Title (From MLGPro.com)
On the heels of another successful season in 2009, Major League Gaming is pleased to announce World of Warcraft is returning to the MLG Pro Circuit. More excitement, more matches, more teams, and more prize money are just a few of the things that will make 2010 a year to remember.

The season kicks off June 4-6 in Columbus, Ohio, where 16 of the top World of Warcraft 3v3 Arena teams from around the globe will be invited to square off. Teams will compete in two groups of eight teams each, in a round robin format, with the top two teams from each group advancing to a double-elimination Championship Bracket where winners will take home over $15,000 in cash.

Starting with Raleigh, an Online Qualifier will be held prior to each Live Competition. The top four placing teams in this open competition will earn invitations to the following live event. The top two placing teams in the Online Qualifier will also receive hotel accommodations for the following live event. Also beginning in Raleigh, each Regular Season live event will host 16 teams total: the top four teams from previous event, four MLG invited teams, four Online Qualifier placing teams, and four open registration slots available for purchase.

MLG Rank Points will be awarded at each of the three live Regular Season events based on where each team finishes. The season will culminate with the 2010 World of Warcraft Championship. Up to eight teams, determined by MLG Rank Points, will face off for $25,000 in cash and the title of MLG 2010 World of Warcraft Champion.

The MLG Pro Circuit broadcast crew will also be kicking it up a notch this year with the return of the Live Broadcast from each Pro Circuit Live Competition. The all new MLG WoW Primetime Show, as well as many select matches from the Online Qualifiers, will be broadcast live throughout the season at GotFrag.com and MMO-Champion.com. Stay tuned to MLGPro.com and GotFrag.com for more information on the season and broadcast schedules.

Players, this is your chance to bring your game to the ultimate battleground and join the ranks of professional gamers on the Major League Gaming Pro Circuit. If you’re interested in competing at MLG Columbus, please e-mail rmoore@mlgpro.com.

The MMO Report
It's time for your weekly MMO Report, with a slight update because I screwed up the beginning of their show, oops.

First off, we have to let you all know that the first story in this week's MMO Report has an update. Right after we shot this episode Blizzard asked MMO-Champion.com to take down all the images and information they had up about Cataclysm. We apologize, but still heartily recommend checking their site out.

[Qhara]

[Ruminan]

Cool, goblin sappers! One of my favorite Warcraft 3 units. But no one remember the third guy inside the barrel.
Awesome fan art overall.

Also can't wait to raid Grim Batol!!! :P

[RakuRaku]

That first fan art... So amazing. Even the blood elf looks alright.

[LordSothe]

That second concept art looks suspiciously like a certain someone it couldn't possibly be.

[Ishimada]

Interesting.. And the G4tv showed up some amazing content? :O

Just put on my desktop the white-black Horde art, it's good

[Broxigar the Red]

so it was MMO Report!

Still as good as it is :P

[Ibbi]

Finally, some decent fanart that isn't half naked Draenei or Belfs.

[Tripl]

Awesome fanarts!

Also, would Twin Peaks involve flying machines? sounds to me like two very high mountainpeaks with a battle in between.... Would be cool with small bridges, as long as they turn off all the knockback spells players can do

[Mooie]

<3 MMO-Report

ohh and the COncept art is really nice

[Warkitty]

Love the fanart, mad skills.

[Pisholina]

That second concept art looks suspiciously like a certain someone it couldn't possibly be.

And who shouldn't it be? ???

[Salaction]

Do you folks think, Molten core will remain untouched???

I'm still farming for 1 binding and eye of sulfuras =*( Hope it drops soon =P, oh and still need some rep grrr.

[DR.Green]

and so the dragonmaws are going to be backed up by the horde huh.
Interesting can't wait for cataclysm :P

[Zero44556]

Love it

Oh, hey boub, I don't know if this was or wasn't in your datamining on the pre-cata event a few months back, but currently there's a member of the earthen ring outside orgrimmar on the PTR who talks about his zepplin having been attacked by the twilight's hammer

Edit for poor wording

[Eucep]

Hmm, a personal prediction proven right there with the core hound pups showing up as mobs.

[WaitingforSWTOR]

Dragonmaw port with Horde crests makes sense now

[vendelin]

Twin Peaks! I really hope for some easter eggs. What about some owls?
