Guild Wars 2

Hi guys this is BLU from Team Replika (formerly Tsunami). I am here today to officially announce our European 2v2 tournament which we plan to do on a bi-weekly or monthly basis. We will be hosting this tournament in the near future live on twitch.tv, but right now we need teams to play! We have already snagged Team Paradigm to play in it, and we still have seven more slots. The first few tournaments we have planned will be for bragging rights only, but if it becomes successful we plan on adding a prize pool to it as well! Here will be the rules for the tournament:

Rules (subject to change)

Tournament Setup

• Tournament will be 2v2 in sets of 3 fights with the finals being in a set of 5 fights. Single Elimination
• Teams must confirm their class combination at least 24 hours before the tournament. This cannot be changed at any point unless an admin allows it
• Unfortunately, no double classes will be allowed
• If a team is not available for the night (chosen at least 2 weeks in advance) they will forfeit their spot

Fight Rules

• If a player is stomped they cannot reenter the fight
• Fights may only be restarted if an admin agrees a bug was the determining factor, or if both teams suffered from server/lag related issues
• If the fight exceeds a length of 5 minutes, a panel of 3 judges chosen and announced at least a week in advance will decide the match.

If a team is caught violating any of these rules they will be immediately disqualified from the tournament and bared from any future events.

Interested in applying? Good! We have 7 spots open which will be selected via email application. We will notify all seven teams of their selection in game and then announce the full lineup here. If you wish to apply please fill out the following form and send it to DrBLU42@Gmail.com DO NOT contact me or any members of Replika with queries on your application. However you may contact us with general questions about the tournament.

“Teams must confirm their class combination at least 24 hours before the tournament. This cannot be changed at any point unless an admin allows it”

good rule makes so you can be abit prepared againts your opponents, but you could remake so teams can add 3 builds to their lineups so it can be harder for opponents to figure out which they are choosing.

Good luck with the tournaments btw

Sweet! Can’t wait to watch it. What made you decide to not have 2 of the same class?

Great but….._when?

@Klinch

• Generally we are trying to avoid any troll builds like double bunker guardian where neither party can really kill anything

@Hvaran

• We are going to select a date that tries to work best with the 8 teams once they have been selected

bump for more teams to apply

I want to ask that will the matches occur in a limited area like points etc.. otherwise it will be an unbalanced match for melee characters

Yes it will be contained to a general area

We have our first entry! Only 6 slots left

Hey, we’ve been running 1 on 1 tournaments. When the fights exceed x amount of time we suspend the use of healing skills. Just a thought for your tourney.

We’ll certainly take this into consideration thanks!

Origine Online has joined our roster, leaving us with 5 spots left!

not in Europeans servers so can’t join but Eurantien suspend healing skills? that is the bread and butter of a staff ele it’d make that class at least half as useless as it could be, since most of the lighter armor people rely on heals to keep up with the heavier armor players and a guardian wouldn’t like the suspension of heals either? and how would you suspend heals, going into water for the ele heals no matter what? so an entire attunment is out? cantrips can grant regen so that’s healing so maybe 2 utilities are gone.i know i may be blowing this out of proportion, but honestly, getting rid of healing power? what if the team is a glass cannon warrior and a staff ele, the staff ele keeps the warrior alive while the warrior kills the enemy. eliminating a part of the game is not a good idea, we have a utility slot specifically for healing because we need the healing

Nice, too bad me and my friend are playing in the US servers, i wish we could have this game mode made ‘official’ rather than player made =/

I am elementaliste bunker 0 0 10 30 30 can trip specialisation , i use never my heal 6 because i play only with my spamming heal passif .

all spamming auto attack 0,5secondes heal me 250 × 2 each seconde , when i use instant skill or swap instant is 250 × 3 each seconde , swap on water heal me 1700 + 250 , my pet water heal me 5000 all 20 secondes, dodge on water heal me 1700+250 …. , 5 water heal me 1700+250 .
perma regeneration 180 each seconde .
and while i am n water i am a another regeneration 100 each seconde .
so 1000 healing / seconde minimum moyenne while fighting and i use never heal ( 6 ) because i prefer keep passif effect .

passif effect = average 12 500 on 25 secondes .
actif effect = 3500 on 25 secondes .

Sounds GREAT !!

Im going to check my teammates and eventually i will bring my team to join this.

Futermore, i would prefer 3v3 tournaments. I tried to organize 3v3 teams but since our community is small, we have only 6 teams interested in 3v3.

Why 3v3? its gave you more options, elites usage is not as critical (in 2v2 elite can pretty much decide who win).

Also What about ress signets? i can imagine team of classes like engi + necro or engi + guard who will take ressurection utility will have advantage and therefore these classes will be promoted over those who doesnt have that..

Still have plenty of spots guys! In addition, we have Auriel from HDGW2 post casting the tournament after, so if you cant make it be sure to be on the lookout on their channel.
