Hall of Fame is Full
Over a hundred teams have now defeated Mythic Jaina on the Horde side and so the ability to get your guild into the Hall of Fame as a Horde guild ended with this Tuesdays reset. There are still 82 slots open over on the Alliance side as of this recording, and once that is full Mythic BoD will be available for cross realm groups.
