One Boss Leaves: Drakkari Colossus vs. King Ymiron

Two Bosses Enter ... but only One Boss Leaves, in WoW Insider's series of fantasy death matches. This season's bosses come from the five-man instances of Wrath of the Lich King.

The first Wrath boss death match of this season saw Keristrasza clawing opponent Cyanigosa with three-quarters of readers voting for the victor. This week's match, King Ymiron (Utgarde Pinnacle) vs. Drakkari Colossus (Zuldrak), turned out equally one-sided. Eighty percent of readers handed the match to King Ymiron, although 4% did speculate that a balanced fight on neutral territory could produce a draw.

"King Ymiron would DPS Colossus into water elemental, and the poisons would stack," mused Meethan, "but once he hit 25%, the stun would take effect and Ymiron would move away from it, beginning in a new position. The new-found abilities in the longboats would totally destroy Colossus, even if it did have the intelligence to walk away. Don't get me wrong; it'd be close. Ymiron might have to fly back a few times because of elemental. The poisons would be a problem only until he activated the boats. Ymiron wins."

Later today, we'll post the full brackets for the first round of Wrath's five-man boss match-ups. Still later, we'll move forward into the next match on our list. Get ready to rumble!
