The match started with BG and SoR doing the 2v1 against JQ because of Icoa commander making the post about the schedule.
As of yesterday, as I went to every map I saw that we JQ were not attacking BG and only focussing SoR. I asked every commander and they all said the same thing, we aren’t attacking BG, we are attacking SoR only.
Amazingly, somehow BG seemed to be doing the same thing. Guess they were playing both sides and it was time to put that knife in the back of SoR.
Sorry SoR, personally I want everyone to just fight but T1 has become too much about fixing the matches and gaming the system and as of now SoR is the prime target.
With the introduction of the league, this match, and possibly the final match, will be driven a lot my match/score politics. Direction of server focus will change throughout the match depending on the expected outcome and what could be done to change that if anything. This shouldn’t surprise you. JQ obviously decided that it was in their best interest to focus SoR, and it seems that’s what they started doing. BG needs to win this match to have any hope of winning Season 1, so it makes sense to try and keep SoR’s score down as well. However, it’s also preferable if JQ takes 3rd, and with a match this close, anything can happen and the focus could shift again.
Bottom line, go with the flow and don’t get all bent about it.
Really shows how much of a fool you are considering you dont know what goes on in them times
Considering that I’m french, GM of a french WvW only guild, playing every evening (french time ofc)…
Hum…
Really this makes me wonder which one of us is clueless…

If JQ takes 2nd, I think they will be sitting in a really good spot to win the league. I just don’t think BG beats SoR 1v1 in the next 5 (?) matchups.
What’s funny is yesterday’s obvious coordinated 2 v 1 against SoR may end up biting BG in the butt. JQ has enough time to overtake SoR and one big push by JQ during peak times can put them at the top, which pretty much wins the league for JQ.
I understand BG wants to keep SoR from beating them in week 1, but the priority should be keeping JQ in 3rd place. BG helping JQ get to 2nd doesn’t help BG at all.
edit: Meanwhile JQ’s priority should be taking PPT away from whoever is in the lead

IMO SoR is the strongest server out of the 3 it would be a huge challenge.

I honestly don’t know. I have a feeling JQ and SoR are right there with each other. Wish we had a 1v1 this to find out, sadly ANet didn’t oblige at all during this league.

I would agree with this, but only because this means we (JQ and BG) could tie for 2nd and I think that outcome is interesting. To be honest with you, I don’t believe BG has a chance at winning either way.
Why are you all kittening about a 2v1? It happens every match. BG gets 2v1ed quite a bit, and we deal with it. Quit acting like a 2v1 is unfair, playing other servers against each other is normal in any kind of 1v1v1 free for all, whether it be sports or war.

I was in Hills BG BL last night an I must say, while the double team was annoying I have never taken part in such a feast of loot bags. I was there from 7pm EST to around 12am and must have raked in over 300+ bags, I did not even have to chase down groups the bags just came to us, yes we did wipe OnS a few times near NE camp but for the most part the slaughter took place in Hills. I give credit to BG and JQ for persistence, but was it really worth it? And was that fun for you? I logged before it fell and am curious how long it lasted.

Not a chance. We’ll be happy to beat BG 4 out of the next 6 weeks.

IMO SoR is the strongest server out of the 3 it would be a huge challenge.

It would have been interesting had there been a JQ/SoR/(Maguuma or SoS)

TC has a large enough population to affect the outcome. SoS and Maguuma don’t.
I don’t really see it being that much of a problem. TC has lost a lot of guilds, today I heard they lost a NA guild to SoS, though I don’t know how accurate that is so I’m not naming the guild.

I logged off from commanding around 12:30 AM EST. I think I checked MOS before I went to bed at 1:30 AM and it had just fallen. Can’t be ashamed of a 6.5 hours constant double team. Must have had to clear out my inventory about 10-12 times from all of the loot.

In the past we have seen that matchup, and while TC is no threat to win, they can put pressure on at specific times. [EP] is really good when they are on the map. Whether that has changed or not remains to be seen, but looking at the 4-6 score right now, it appears to still be the case.
Maguuma or SoS (no offense to either server, you don’t have the coverage) would at this point most likely represent the closest approximation to a 1v1. For instance week 5 will probably give the best indication of how BG stacks up 1v1 against JQ.

Yes it was worth it. Not only did you get lots of bags but we did too. By the end of the night we were able to break that waypoint. The same one that hasn’t been broken all match up. It went on till 3am EST.

I totally agree. I think heads up SoR vs JQ is the best match. Unless we pull a hail mary I think you will still have us by a bit though.
OOooh JQ in Bay Lords Room and BG standing on the portal for them….despite having a blob each. Awww bless em. Cosy.
They did the same thing last night. Fighting like kittens.
And JQ did the same thing to us to help SOR cap bay last night during NA in SoR BL… but please, keep complaining about something that every server has done to kill a WP…
Im not complaining – I just thought it was funny. Each server had a blob and outnumbered us hugely and they still needed both of them to take it……../shrug.
There was some guy with a commander tag on auto run in a corner wall of EB soaking up queues for a good half hour earlier. Guaranteed he’ll transfer off if SOR finishes 3rd this week which is always a good thing.

About the IRON blob + FEAR blob + WIC blob, dude, learn to count, when we started it was IRON 30-32 + some randoms (never had a queue to that bdl btw) and by the end when FEAR blob (30ish) came into play, there was 3 IRON left, so congrats, you just earned yourself an invitation to go back to 2nd grade. Cut the excuses, just go to the battlefield and die…

Thank you, come again
BG got 2v1ed 3 days out of the week so far on BG BL. During NA prime time.

We’ve had the map chat trolls as well. The TS trolls. The TS ddos. The TS exploiters. You name it, we’ve had it this week. From what I understand, SoR has as well. I sympathize, as it sucks.
And JQ did the same thing to us to help SOR cap bay last night during NA in SoR BL… but please, keep complaining about something that every server has done to kill a WP…
2v1 in JQ BL started in early EU timezone, when bay was T2 without WP, so cut this crap please.
Been defending bay for 9h straight then i logged. Thanks for all the bags.
PS. To the JQ blob that was playing druing EU in JQ BL: It’s not polite to knock the door and as soon as the householder open the gate and welcome you warmly you run like a kitten chickens. Next time at least stay for a dinner.
Lets see… complaint about 2v1, thanks for all the bags comments, yeah gonna put this up as a typical forum warrior post. But good job completely missing the point that all servers have done what Brutus was complaining about, which was the only point of my post.
I’m not complaining about the 2v1. It may be a kitten way to fight but there are plenty of kittens out there.
My complaint is if you 2v1 don’t then pretend you are not a kitten and start spouting off about the great fights and how great and honorable everyone is. Its the same reaction I have to people ganking solos that get caught by a zerg and then /sit or /laugh. Congratulations, really….

Then don’t complain when your server does the same exact thing? We complained about it last night on TS, but we also said we knew it was because you both wanted it paper, which makes sense and we moved on and eventually re-capped it later.
Honestly, there is no such thing as honor when it comes to WvW because the best way to take things is to stab somebody in the back or kick them when they are down. The only time I will ever mention great fights or “honor” is when we get some good open field fights of the same size. Keep fights are never going to fall into that domain
It’s just something I personally haven’t dealt with before, I suppose. It’s unnerving to have an active spy reading our mapchat with the overt intention of relaying information back to the spy’s home server. As a player who actively uses mapchat, I’ll have to toughen up my sensibilities and find a way to work around it.

There is plenty of honor in WvW, I see it most days.
Today I got to see something new. Some BG dropping siege for a fort, drop the wall, and wait a good ten minutes for the JQ zerg to come in to cap it. You all can deny all of the claims of cooperation you want, but you’re not fooling anyone. It just delights me to know that the rest of our league will be spent trolling BG for it. Yeah, we might not outscore JQ in the end, but BG is probably going to account delete by time we’re done with them.
Hey guys, Blackgate player here, we’re dealing with a nasty troll in BGBL today, account name: donfoe.9576 who appears to be an agent of SoR. Anyone want to confirm/disavow? He’s spamming our mapchat with anti-BG drivel and taunting. I guess all is fair in love and war, but sending an agent to troll us is pretty lowbrow. Here is a sample chatbox:
Seriously, spamming, How are you able to continue functioning at all under those conditions.
SOR has opened up a whole new front with our psyops team.

Whining about spamming is weak, spamming is weaker.
I’m not surprised at all that BG and JQ decided to double team SoR. It would be great if wvw was actually 1v1. Because 2v1 happens much too often. I find it odd that there is even a tournament structure for a three way fight. Its impossible to tell which server is the clear winner when at any time one of them can get 2v1ed.

You do realize that almost nobody on BG wants SOR to be beaten by JQ this week right? We are actually looking at how we can keep you on top of them. If JQ wins or even comes second this week, its a very bad scenario for both BG and SOR.

i love the way people think talking in chat is spamming. i in no way flooded their chat. i was simply talking to people. when no one was talking to me, i wasn’t speaking. they cry about us using some of the same tactics they use. that is where i get my jollies. i love the fact that it really bothers them to know they have someone in their chat that “isn’t supposed” to be in there. regardless, i will continue to play as i do. no one(other than the Anet gods) will influence they way i play otherwise.
