Thanks, they have been fixed.

Judging from the rewards, it reads more like a Charity Cup to me.

Please note that this is on EU servers.

Is it only for EU people?? How come NA people can’t participate in this official event? Or I didn’t understand it correctly?

Will there be an NA event?

Not sure what exactly you mean with an official event, it’s an official ESL event if that’s what you mean, yes.
The GW2 section at ESL consists of two departments, NA and EU. Different people are running both departments which means we don’t necessarily host the same tournaments.

This starts in 1 hour! Still time to sign-up!

may some people are confused because the OP says matches will be played on Monday.
