NA TOURNAMENT OF GLORY THIS WEEKEND!
If anyone wants to see the rosters for each team, the link is below.
I used to run the Academy Gaming tournaments for GW2.
Good luck to all of the teams today!

Even though we are not streaming until 3pm EST, we will be live updating the bracket on our twitch channel as scores are reported to us!
Matches will go live on stream in 20 Mins!
From the brief period I was watching this, very boring. “Oh look, Overlord view! Stick fighters are fighting it out! Exciting!”
This will never gain any real esport following.
smack..Wut?…smack…smack…
I, for one, really appreciate the hard work DPS, Anet, and Mistpedia have put in to make this possible.
Regardless of not getting 100,000 viewers and so-called “esports”, 150k is a huge prize pool for an MMO and I appreciate the fact that that money is now being put into the game.
Glad we can have a tournament for fun and cash and not need to have 100k viewers to do so.

It did get 500 viewers. Also keep in mind that no “elite teams” were in this qualifier as well as minimal advertisement.
And no my bar is not set too high. I stand for what I said about it. I think this is great and really appreciate the work unlike all of the people, including yourself, that take it to the forums to hate on something that is finally happening in GW2 PvP.

The fact we can argue about whether they got 500 viewers kind of makes my point.
I’m not going to praise developers that completely failed to achieve their goals because they stubbornly clung onto a mode for two years as the playerbase asked them not to.
There’s a difference between “not praising” and being that prick that complains about “not getting my every need” and “not being esports” on the forums.
And “the playerbase”? You mean the PvE and WvW and casual PvP playerbase? That one? As far as I am aware, most, if not every, top player on the best teams enjoy conquest quite a lot.

games weren’t even that interesting today so no surprise there was little viewers.
Once again, who cares about being esports? It’s fun and there is money involved. All is well.

I never received my Llama from the giveaway. :/

They announced my name and I gave the streamer (presumably Trevor) my account info.
I don’t know whom to forward this issue to.

They got it and you’ll probably get it within a few days or so. Patience, young one.

The problem is it’s actually not that fun because everyone who’s high rated keeps fighting the same people over and over. That’s why even the competitive community is dying out now.
For reference, one of the teams to get into the third-place match today (Team Teamwork) consistently loses to PUGs. That’s the quality of the competitive community today and solo and duo queuers.
Comeon man stop the hate, such rudeness. let them play, we already know whose going to china and whose not. let them farm there glorious infamy,as long as there is money involve ship is going fine and none care of esports.
My concerns is, it seems the Wall of Champion in HotM has been stagnated for a quite long time now

Between a master and apprentice, i would love to see the differences.

Stop the hate? There was no hate in that massage, only truth. This game’s PvP scene was downed three months after launch and has been bleeding to death since.
For the user above me. I put a youtube vid for a better understanding and then i read your post, i assume you never listen but to be fair im not gonna waste my time arguing with such lowlings like you.
Edit: for a better inflicting damage

Let the hilarity commence..
I hope you shoutcasters get some money out of this.
E.A.D.
So how do you sign up for it?
And we are ready for day two here at the DPS production house! Go to http://www.twitch.tv/digitalprosports for the action starting at 3pm EDT, 12 PDT. We’ll be streaming the bracket live beginning at 1pm EDT like we did yesterday!
Is this really true? ~500 viewers for a 150k prizepool tournament?
It’s just the qualifiers though, if the semi finals and final where only getting 500 viewers then yeah I’d see a problem. For GW2 standards it’s not bad, and it’s actually an improvement. Not every game can be like CSGO and have 405k viewers.
Heavens Rage

^^^^^This. Its a qualifier. we were expecting around the numbers we drew yesterday due to a number of factors.
Well the teams.. how to put it, weren’t top tier. Rampager amulet hambow warriors and entire teams with basically random traits. It’s no surprise that people don’t want to watch PvE players fight each other in the early stages. If you want to do that you can go and observe hotjoin anytime you want.
500 viewers for that is pretty huge. When things start to get real I’m sure there will be at least 8-10 times more viewers. Especially if Arenanet would post about it just once.

Lowlings, now my feelings are hurt :/. You mean so much to the community thank you savoir of the Guild Wars 2 pvp scene.

Indeed, I am surprised it got that high as well.

Compliments, i dislike compliments they distract me.

When can I expect it? I’ve been patient.

Your name was submitted by me personally on Sept 17th. Beyond that, DPS has no control when you get your llama.
Should have all of the qualifiers rewards ready for distribution this week.
Thanks!
Sorry for asking here but did they forget me or we have to wait on ToG finalists to get their rewards aswell? I think I’ve won my llama 2 weeks ago.
