Guild Wars 2

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything regarding my weekly tournament. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s the only weekly PvP tournament in Guild Wars 2 at this time.

I’ve decided that with the end of the 2016 World Championship I needed to change up the format that was more inviting to not only top tier players but solo players of any skill level.

All players may now participate in Academy Gaming as free agents, including those that participated at the World Championship. With this, I am still allowing for all teams to participate so long as they do not contain any member of a World Championship team.

To be clear:

• All players, including the World Championship ones, may play as free agents to get paired up with players to have a chance at some mini llamas or gems
• World Championship players are not allowed to participate on teams outside of free agency

The reason for these rules are to not discourage those teams that don’t play for $200k to stop participating. They play for llamas and gems and most of them would stop signing up after a few weeks when seeing the competition.

Nothing else is really changing but I thought I’d make it somewhat of an announcement for those interested in playing.

The tournament happens EVERY Wednesday evening with signups at http://battlefy.com/academy-gaming. Just make sure you join the Discord (link on Battlefy) and read up on the rules.

Send message in game or reply with questions. Thanks!

Note: I am strongly considering adding a weekly 2v2 or 1v1 tournament to Europe in the coming weeks. Just a heads up!

Thank you for continuing to promote this.

Can’t participate personally due to conflicting work hours, however wishing you the best of luck.

Just curious, have you considered composing posting pvp highlight reels for these weekly tournaments? Feel like that would help promote it quite a bit.

Just realized there were highlight reels, after going out of my way to search youtube.

I am able to highlight what I stream on my Twitch but I can’t create a highlight reel as I unfortunately don’t have to time or expertise to be able to do this in a timely manner.

If there are people that are willing to help, feel free to reach out to me.

Does AG Tournaments take place only for NA people? or are for EU too?

Some day, hopefully this year, we’ll get our gems. :/

NA currently but I will be bringing an event to EU in the near future.

this deserves a bump.

Someone posted a thread about GW2 not promoting the small tournaments. This use to have its own spot at the top of PvP but it got taken down for what ever reason.

I always came here for info on the AG tournaments and storm does a great job of relaying info even when you ask in a thread.

You’re doing a great job.

Thanks for the support guys.

I’ve also added a 2v2 tournament for EUROPE! Signups for this week at https://battlefy.com/academy-gaming/eu-ag-2v2-1/57e3290325c509130c43ba8d/info!

I am desperately trying to rearrange my schedule so I can participate. Even if I can’t, a hearty thank you for doing what should be readily available from within the game already.
