The Colosseum takes us inside the world of the Gladiator (Relentless, Furious, Deadly, Brutal, Vengeful, Merciless, and otherwise), to interview some of the top Arena fighters on the battlegroups. Our goal is to bring a better understanding of the strategy, makeup, and work that goes into dueling it out for fame, fortune, and Frostwyrms. We're especially focused on the people who play these games, to further shed light on the world of the PvP player. If you'd like to be interviewed for The Colosseum, please feel free to contact us -- be sure to include your armory as a link!

We're in for a real treat this week. We interviewed Jhazy of Blackrock, one of the few players in arena history to achieve a 3,000 rating in 3v3. More impressive yet, he's done this on the very competitive Bloodlust battlegroup, and is currently holding that #1 spot by a margin of more than one hundred points. Jhazy's team STRAIGHT TO THE TOP is a protection warrior + marksman hunter + holy paladin composition. As a team, they are holding down the world's #1 3v3 spot!

Check out what Jhazy has to say after the break!

WoW.com: Who are your teammates right now?
Jhazy: My teammates right now are Ellihs, the baller paladin and Alloraan the worlds best protection warrior.

WoW.com: What's the general plan behind your composition?
Jhazy: We plan to take this team composition to the top once again in season 8 if our paladin feels up to it. Even after the protection [warrior] nerf we just intend to play better, though RMP [rogue-mage-priest] will be slightly harder.

WoW.com: What challenges does your team have?
Jhazy: Pre 3.3 we had slight trouble vs any wizard cleave [two spell dps casters + healer] on ring of valor -- and funny as it may sound, I'm the hardest target to kill. Our paladin or warrior usually dies if we do at all.

WoW.com: How do you prefer to run your comp?
Jhazy: We play our comp like a plate RMP [rogue-mage-priest] you could say. We make hard swaps with certain cooldowns up and go for quick kills on quick swaps throwing ccs in the proper spots while bursting down our target with stuns and silences placed accordingly.
