I live in Australia, yah, time is a huge difference.

^ I know that feel. That’s middle of the day for us… On a work day no less.

Well, next time we will give everyone a few weeks notice and appoint a EU leader to organize the event :p

Sorry for all the EU guys we really do love you!

The warrior one will be streamed hopefully on http://www.twitch.tv/tehmaker

If we can get enough Engineers I can probably convince Ostrich Eggs to stream,

Now all we need is a few more of each

Haha, I think the only profession that has no one signed up to represent the elementalist in this profession specific tournament queing. We have a Ranger team, two Necro teams, a Guardian team, a Mesmer team, almost an Engineer Team, 2 short of a Thief team, and 3 short of a full warrior team. Totally floored that I can’t get a single elementalist.

Tonight Thursday April 25th at 5:30pm PST to 8:30pm PST

I will be pming the participants our mumble information so they can get on and use it. We have plenty of spots, and are pumped by the responses so far. We will try to do a general get together for about 10 minutes before hand to give everyone a clear idea as to what we are doing, and see about getting a group Picture of everyone who is taking part in the event ahead of time.

There is still time to sign up!

The idea is to have every single profession represented by a tournament team. We will then have a general meet and greet at a single server, and take a group picture while we all gather on the SOAC gaming mumble. Once we are all on, I will start our general recording from my side, go through some brief introductions, and then each class will be free to use their own vent/ts/mumble or use one of our channels.

Once the teams are setup they will each have their own recording of the event going on depending on who is recording, they will talk strategy, gameplay, specs, and then queue up for a tournament.

All 8 teams will be queuing up around the same time. So sometimes the thief team will run into the Warrior team, and then next game they may run into 5 solo queuers or an organized team by team Hate. Hopefully each team will be able tog et 5-10 games in during the period.

Our goal is to reintroduce tournaments and just have a fun time while learning more about each class.

After the event, all the videos will be sent to myself and then posted on our youtube channel, and we will also have several players who will be streaming or uploading it onto their youtube.

1 hour until game time sign up now!

Signed up for both myself and my brother. Do I need to make a team or?

I play anything btw.

The event went off really well. We had a full ranger, necro, elementalist, guardian, Warrior, and mesmer team. No engineers were present, and unfortunately for Grimwolf only 2 thieves signed up.

Almost everyone played 4 to 6 games.

Warriors won 4 out 5 before retiring for the night
Guardians had a ton of trouble maintaining a team and lost all 3 matches
Elementalist had a bit of trouble thanks to my noob skills and won only 1 out of 5 games.
Mesmer’s won 1 out of 5 as well (too many new players :P)
Rangers won 2 out of 4.
Necro’s are still going as I am speaking and have currently won 3 out of 6.

Despite the losses everyone had a great time and it was a fun event! Videos will be posted at youtube/user/SOACGaming next week.

can’t wait to see the videos! thanks so much for putting this together, Bas.
and aww, me Guardians! hopefully i’ll be able to participate next time as well : )))

This sounds like so much fun, and I’ll be very happy to participate as a thief in the future.

I can totally see this becoming a really big thing in the GW2 community; a relaxed sPvP tournament between teams that are purely one profession or another. Looking forward to seeing more events like this in the future, and I’ll be totally excited to see the video. congrats!

Next time we hope to get a few more players so we can do it without all the headaches.

The goal was to have fun, and enjoy the time running around. As far as I am aware, Everyone had fun!

If anyone has videos of the event please pm me so we can work on getting all the videos collected and put up on the SOACGaming website.
