BGKF - Battleground Kill Feed

Overview

BGKF enhances World of Warcraft's PvP experience by adding a CS:GO-style kill feed to battlegrounds. Watch in real-time as players earn kills and progress through classic PvP ranks during each battleground session. Ranks increase with kills and reset on death, creating a dynamic ranking system complete with announcer sounds and visual notifications.
