Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone!

Would anyone be kind enough to tell me how tournaments work? I looked into them because they are part of the monthly achievement but I couldn’t find much information about them. When I spoke with the tournament NPC I only had the option for a quick free/paid tournament that asks for a roster. Does this mean I have to make my own team for it? I heard that there are scheduled tournaments as well, is that what people take part in? When do they happen? It doesn’t sound like many people care for the tournaments how they are now but I wanted to give it a try if I could.

Thanks to anyone who answers.

You can enter a random tournment just by go to the NPC, free tournment and when it says for the rooster just click “send” it’ll make a random rooster

a tournament is a series of 3 games on forest, foefire, and khylo with 8 teams. if you lose 1 you are done with the tourny. if you win all 3 you get 1st place. The games are generally more organized and teams will likely have voip to coordinate. free tournaments can be entered by yourself by creating a roster (remember to submit) and you will get matched up with others that need 1 more player. there is no matchmaking involved (that i know of). there are certain skins you can only get from free tournament (i’m not including pve). paid tournaments are much much more competitive and they cost 5 tournament tickets per person to enter. you get these from 1st place free tourny and daily/monthly achievements.
