The Community’s effort seems to be finally paying off.

We e-sports now.

ESL is a pretty worthless site, though.

Even if it is or not this is a first. Got to start somewhere right? They’re still taking their baby steps, but hopefully it gets better in the future.

O.o

who do you think runs the EU LOL series?

oh ya…ESL

who do you think runs a tonne of CS games?

oh ya…ESL

This is a huge step my friend. HUGE.

From what I read ESL is hosting this event, they aren’t picking up GW2. They also only plan on having 16 teams register.

Sounds like Anet threw some money around and is trying to take off as an esport… it worked for WoW, that game was never an esport of it’s own merit, always only because Blizzard pushed it down the communities throat.

I’m honestly not sure if this one will work or not.

Have to agree with this, having GW2 in ESL is great. But lets be real here, It actually means nothing. Its pretty much same as just having some random site with automated tournaments.

Pretty much any game that has way to play competitive, gets free pass to ESL. Good examples of this are pokeMMO and Brickforce.

So its great to have GW2 in ESL, but still its wont fix problems why GW2 is boring to watch and play.
