Link to the FINALS PVP STREAM here!
ima watch it and remember it as the day pvp in gw2 officially got dumped by 50% of the population
The tourny looks solid. To bad the community is pretty much bummed completely about the current and future state of pvp.
Bring back: ‘Gamer’ title + MAT’s!
Throw out: Hotjoin!
also
Mod jon_peters: you have to actively react to all the passive things going on
Mod jon_peters: so its still very reactionary and there is still a LOT of skill in spirit ranger
well the casuals and non-pvp ppl have no clue, so its just watchin a normal gw2 pvp tournament finals to them
Did i calculate the time zones wrong? Are we 45 mins after the listed starting time and still no action?
ESPORTS
I hope they play the most terrible ridiculous crap to show just how terrible the pvp is and how hard it is to even see what’s going on.
Go go AI spam, asura spam, and boring conquest aoe spam and bunkering.
“Our focus right now is making a game type that is easy to watch and understand. That is one of the things we have accomplished so far and we want to keep that concept”

wow first round CC…pppllzz let this be 5 games
well im liking the casting but i cant tell anything in those teamfights rofl 3 spirit rangers 2 stronk
It’s a shame this tournament is happening during this metgame. Watching spirit rangers fight is really boring.
i hear “petting zoo” every minute
well guys its America player pool talent vs ENTIRE EUROPE’s talent
This is hard to watch.
Literally, hard to actually watch. The camera is too zoomed out, the team fights are a mess, and even the 1 on 1’s are jumpy. The fact that the camera keeps changing players also makes it hard to keep track, or even care.
I hope they clean this up in the future.
pre-ordered HOT at this point,
save yourself the money and don’t bother.
Not even 5000 viewers. Where is the big GW2 community?
Well, the tournament is not that impressive.
The fact developers are mocking their own game and calling it a “petting zoo” should explain why this tournament has less than 5,000 viewers.
maybe the chinese pvp scene will five spice things up next year
Sad, called it 3-0 without ever even seeing CC play before. NA has a really poor understanding of conquest. The team fights were intense but SYNCs map control wasn’t there. GGs anyway.
Watching this made me sad. There were actually points of excitement, interesting strategy, and a great level of skill displayed. And yet, it was still pretty bad to watch.
Every teamfight, the effects got so bright that I literally could not discern the characters in the fights. I couldn’t tell what skills were being used. I couldn’t see how the fight was going. I spent more time watching the health bars in the corners than I did the game itself. And the AI. Jesus. Two spirit rangers in the middle of a team fight and that was it. Couldn’t see anything.
I think the things that make GW2 so bad to watch could be fixed, but I have absolutely zero faith that anet will make it happen. I am once again disappointed not by the game itself, but by the fact that a game with such an incredible amount of potential is going to waste because of the studio behind it.

All the North American players died every time they tried to go out individually. They just weren’t good in one-on-one situations. They should have listened to Supcutie and remained in a team.
unless they put in a new co-lead pvp dev to rattle the cages and change the furniture, it aint gonna happen

90% of that was the camerawork. There was one fight at keep with two spirit rangers involved and whoever was on the camera changed angles like 4 times in 10 seconds.
I began to suspect a severe case of ADHD. It was pretty chaotic already, spamming angle changes didn’t help.

They should stop using the overhead camera. It’s awful in this game. It makes everything look like a mess.
Really great final, IA Zoo everywhere and Na thief lost every 1vs1 against every broken build.
Yeah, E-sport
I never really understood why post processing was left on
yeah it just makes everything even more hard to see. smog and blurry
Did someone perhaps record it , or is there a vod on twitch were i can watch the finals ?
I missed them … .
there is always a vod on twitch, look at the past broadcasts on their channel.
