Since there's so much debate going on about my time on the contest, I'll explain myself how I did it.
In the first phase I only had ideas about the 1st and 5th picture - maybe Illidan was the first one (didn't find any matching screenshots, scrapped it), and the fifth looked like Zangarmarsh. Didn't find any matching ones there either.
The second phase everything started to fall in place: the first one gave out the face, which I've seen countless times on the Dark Portal. The second one was easy since I have Benediction myself on a priest character, and know exactly how it looks like. The third was a difficult one, so I thought of important tauren characters, and immediately the leader of Thunder Bluff came to mind. Searched for Cairne and voila, it was the right character. Fourth one was pretty easy too - what other human female (saw from the stance) has lots of bare skin and red clothing? That's right, Whitemane from Scarlet Monastery. The fifth one clicked after I thought of other stuff that was in Zangarmarsh - the tiny spore people.
There was no reverse Photoshopping or FTP hacking or any other illegitimate procedures, just plain ol' WoW knowledge.

If you weren't playing a priest, if you was alliance and didn't knew TB leader you wouldn't won would you?
Perhaps. I'm not one to say since I'm not in that situation.

Look at his sig file....admin for wowwiki you would think that he would be disqualified from wowhead.com contest since they were given beta keys from blizzard as well
I so agree with you.

Not more impossible then benediction. :x
I knew Benediction as soon as Phase 2 started (Phase 1 was impossible).
It was the first one that I got!

Uhhh well, considering how much g0urra has given back to the communities (both wowwiki and wowhead ), you can't really say that they should disqualify them.

Linera, stop being a sore loser. Those people won fare and square, and you lost fair and square.

He got a beta key from being an admin on WoWwiki though. So he should be disqualify for that fact.

I didn't get mine from being an admin. I got it from going to the Worldwide Invitational in Paris in person.
Stop being a sore loser.

I play alliance and I even knew the answers to Benediction and Cairne, Anyone who has played WoW for more than 3 months should know who Cairne is. Maybe Benediction is tougher for people who didn't play Pre-BC but thats a personal problem. Some people know stuff others don't its no suprise I mean come on. Grats on the win btw G0urra. People saying you cheated are fools. I woulda been in the top 10 if I hadn't accidently emailed the wrong place due to a typo too.
