Guild Wars 2

Top players, I wasn’t spoken too…….

;)

For the 10th time, as someone stated before, I understand the matchups, the Round Robin style tournament would eliminate that problem. Granted it would take much longer to find the grand champion.

Round Robin will still lead to the same issues. Some classes hard counter others.

Just to let you know. SOAC is already doing something like this. I just wasn’t going to announce it until we got the captains in place and their list of teams. It’s fine if you want to do it. Just letting you know that one of the things we actively talked to with the coaches and several of the top NA and EU players about a top Player tournament Handpicked players.

I don’t mind you doing one, just figured you would want to know.

Alright.

I think that- with your and SOAC’s permission- we could combine what teams we have already set up (I know that Mighty already has some people down for him) with whatever you guys may have pulled as of now.

I’m just loving this idea more and more.

EDIT: also, Mighty and I discussed that these teams could function as a sort of Minor League, with the top-tier, high-level teams being the Major League of a sorts. I think that using this as a transition between casual play and professional play would be a really neat idea.

I agree with Arganthium completely. I have an entire team filled out for Necromancers.

I say this with no bearing on anything that SOAC decides to do but just my personal opinion: I don’t see a reason why SOAC would want to pair up with Troll. He very obviously dislikes Gibbly, and so that would be incompatible, and from my standpoint is merely putting this together because he doesn’t like that Necromancers didn’t win.

In addition, pairing up with this doesn’t improve the SOAC tournament at all.

I like your ideas, and I respect your attempt to do this on a bigger level. I will not blackball or work against you guys in your attempt to mimic our tournament. However, there are certain attitudes required to do what we do and work with SOAC, and unfortunately there are certain players if they were included half if not all of my players would immediately walk out. They have no interest in playing or working together with certain players.

This is the unfortunate side effect of having a very caustic and abusive attitude toward players you disagree with. It’s a hard lesson many of us have to learn over time. I am all for you continuing to grow your idea. We are going to keep doing things our way. We have the coaches, and will separate the tournament into two brackets 30 and up rank, and below 30 rank to better help new players.

None of our coaches want to do this as anything more than a fun enjoyable way to pass the time between competitive tournaments. This is simply a gimmick tournament where people can come represent their class. I respect you Ag, and respect Altroll’s work with Myrmidian on their other project, and the sheer volume of help that altroll has done on the Necromancer side, but bridges burned cannot be repaired as easily as me saying, “Can’t we all just get along?”

Lily and I would be down to help represent guardians if you want both/either of us.

Anyone that still would like to do this: Post a thread in your respective professions

Each player that wishes to participate, send me a private message on these forums indicating what class you are wishing to participate for, and if you want to coach, or play.
