Guild Wars 2

Before the big League deciding match next week, what are your revised predictions for how that match and the league will turn out?

Im still not sure who will win between HoD and SF and GoM has been surprising to say the least.

DH and HoD are having a closer match this week than i imagined would happen. FC isnt doing as good as we thought they would this week.

Its kinda nice that everything isn’t already decided. Its almost like it is actually competitive or something…

nah!

Like we’ve all been saying all along. Bronze league is the most competitive league. It’s the only league that you don’t know the results before leagues even start.

I feel a little bad for NSP & IoJ since they got trapped in Silver league.

Killed100 with 30 people , its constantly satisfying up here, The skill level really does start to drop the higher you get. Only coordination gets better.

Oh, the old Mend bunkering… Where are mah trebs?!

Also I agree the level of skill on the higher servers is kinda pathetic… On SF/YB/ET week, Yak’s only won a fight when they heavily outnumbered us (which was 99,5% of the time). On even fights, they were a joke…

Judging the week where SF faced DH, with this week where HoD is facing DH. And also that we faced both server… I’m willing to place my bet on Big Bro.

HOWEVER. We know that a large chunk of SF numbers are the fairweather that come out on easy matchups. If they decide to flee from HoD, SF stand no chance against HoD.

My two cents…

Been open fielding fighting rather then bunkering recently actually. Its just sad how fast they run when you smash into them.

HoD is going to roll over SF. I would actually prefer to see it the other way around, so hopefully my instincts are off. In the end I see it as HoD, SF, DH. That third spot is the most competitive.

ET really got hosed with 2 really tough matchups to start the league. Also we had been really pushing hard the few weeks leading up to the league season. A combination of burn-out and a tough time dealing with adversity early on tripped us up. Things seem like they might be headed back in the right direction now tho. I hope anyways!

As the season progresses I think there will be a dropoff for other servers and ET will see an uptick. In the end we will be competitive despite the rough start. Also we have been working to adapt tactics to the league system. In the end we will also play a lot smarter.

And the second place server is going to always get smashed hard in the league setup. It makes full sense for the big dog to TKO their competition early in the matchup and the 3rd place server to put the pressure on to ninja second.

I really want to see this! Ive never seen an open field fight with Mend sans-arrow carts. New Mend sounds interesting. I certainly hope this is true because I am just one of those old fashioned geezers who likes to man up and fight. No chairs like the Million Dollar Man would use in the ring. No lead pipes Tonya Harding style. No rolls of quarters.

Mend fighting in the open field? WHAT DID YOU DO WITH FLAPPYBOB?!

This just ain’t right…

These super 133t upper tiers demand open field fights… too chicken to charge a choke point :c At least you guys all had balls of steel <3

I wanna say GoM has been doing an excellent job in these leagues and I see ET is doing better this week, good luck against FC this friday.

HoD is going to roll over SF.

We should be so lucky, we have lost more people in the last two weeks to boredom more than PVE or fairweather-finishing-achievement-hunters (FFAH)

Week 42
Sorrow’s Furnace 254,758
Darkhaven 215,289
Eredon Terrace 209,477

Pretty close week!

I’m predicting HOD wins this week by no less than 50k points. I’m going to love the next 2 weeks fighting SF, it will ultimately decide who wins Bronze League.

Jeknar.6184:

The truth is: The dominant server will always choose who will be second… And both SF and HoD choose that ET was going to be 3rd… Period.

That’s a lie.
ATM SF would like DR to be 2nd. But they aren’t helping themselves.

Glad we aren’t the only ones who noticed.
Also, it seems they gave up in silver league now that they faced equal populations. They got wrecked.

They’ll win by way more than 50k points. Dh could stop them, we coulda kept it within 30 or maybe even 20k if we tried, but we’re tired at this point. It takes a lot of effort, and a lot of money, that we just won’t put out to have a higher score. Keep that in mind though, the point disparity we will have is not out of being incapable of doing better, but of being unwilling. :/

Yeah, after how hard our late night/early day time (and the rest of the times) people worked last week, I don’t blame them. They really helped us to win last week. And we just can’t match HoDs numbers, so why try to bust ourselves if we’ll still only make 2nd. Better to take it slower this week and save some more energy for future weeks.

The next match-up between SF/HoD/GoM is going to decide who takes first.

And GoM, you get to choose who you dislike more. :P

YOU HAVE THE POWER!

Same with AR. They may not have numbers, but do not underestimate them in a fair fight. Bad things will happen.

Arius.7031:

I agree, AR could really bring the fight when they wanted to when it was SF\Kain\AR. Still shudder when I think of all those AoE circles surrounding Ogrewatch.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Who else is stoked for this weeks match-up against the big boys?

SF/HoD/GoM

Awwwwww yeah!

5g on SF

I can’t wait, hope we can stay competitive. I still haven’t experienced this new GoM so ill be wary.

I agree Clint, I really hope the fairweathers are up for a challenge and don’t just go back to PvE because the fights are harder.

I feel bad for GoM lol. They got 3rd place against Dh and FC, and look at how FC is doing against SF and Dh is doing against HoD lol. I mean, towards the end of our matchup, Dh pretty much just took and held all of their stuff, literally, their EB stuff and their BL stuff belonged to Dh like 90% of the time. I really don’t think any bronze server is going to have fun in match against both HoD and SF lol.

kitten it GoM! You’re screwing up my predictions.

I know we aren’t right now

Oops…

Let me help you with your predictions for next week.

GoM will get third. We have improved a lot, but not enough to upset the #1 and #2 teams. However, we have grown enough to troll them all week. -evil laugh-

Tossed Fish.7380:

We’re helpers!
See you Friday

Sorrow’s Furnace got a second thread locked… So actual score is:

SF 2×0 HoD

Go big bro!

Jeknar.6184:

We are rooting for 1st place on thread locking (Although the last thread lock was weird, we were starting to get along due to fight club o_o)

It has been a while since we went up against HoD. Both SF and HoD have undergone some big changes since then. Manpower aside, SF has become far more strategic server wide then we have been in the past.

As I said before, we will have a close match during NA prime time, there will be some absolutely awesome fights regardless of outcome, and the match will be decided by our respective servers off-times.

See you in four hours babe <3 Please dress nicely we are gonna have a night out in the town.

Devon.9061:

Well, then you might miss the fun! We are planning on inviting ourselves in while you are away, please leave the candles and food out so we don’t have to destroy the whole place looking for them… :P

On a more serious note, REALLY looking forward to this match. Both HoD and GoM, I do not think the fights will be lacking!!

Devon.9061:

I cant wait, LOL am not supposed to be on these forums till I get home from work, but o well.

FYI, I am dressed very nicely. Rockin a heavy asura in full nightmare with celestial/abyss with a bronze general title, occasional commander tag and a jugg for the extra shinies for the extra thief bait.

Please target me I thrive on that.

I will be the jugaloo norn thief or the charr with the pink quaggan hat and bell. Come at me if you dare.

Can we start bets pls?

Only bet I’m taking is that their thread will get closed.

Only reason threads get closed is because they are full of tears from the losing sides. Since this should be a competitive match up and HoD and GoM seems to have some cool cats on their forum crew i doubt that will happen.

I also wish i could set up a betting system but idk if thats against Anets rules or not.

I voted for GoM even though I know you guys will lose <3

I looked at the poll and realized it would end up being a popularity contest.
