Guild Wars 2

SOAC is hosting the profession specific tournaments once again! Except with an awesome twist. This time it’s profession vs. profession. So grab your ranger/guardian/warrior/Necromancer/mesmer/elementalist/thief and show the reason why your profession is number 1.

The event is being held on May 9th at 5:30pm PST/GMT-8 with with a follow up on Saturday May 11th at 10am PST/GMT-8. The event will be shoutcasted and live streamed. Here is the breakdown for everyone.

Two Custom Arenas will be setup for the event and password protected to keep random players joining during the event. For each Arena we will have a set shoutcasting team and stream.

1) There will be a live stream and shoutcast for each arena.

2) The Matchups will be random and posted on the day of the event.

3) We will use a bracket style matchup with a best of 3 winner moving on.

4) The teams that lose their best of three will move on to a best of 3 matchups with other professions that have lost.

There are several things we are still in need of to pull off this event perfectly. If you can help in any way please let me know!

1) A second or third custom arena – This is important to help speed the event along.

2) Shoutcasters – if you want to practice your craft please let us know.

3) About 10 more players signed up.

Sign up or ask any questions you might have. We will have a weekend follow up event as well.

So we really need a separate site for EU players, or people need to start posting whether this is an NA or EU tournament :P

Looks like its mostly NA now. I’m in for this one. I’d imagine a full thief team would be pretty struggsies against most of the rest, but it’s all in good fun

Also, your ele signup link is wrong.

Good Call – Made the Switch. We would love to do this for EU, but I don’t have an EU account. I am working with Amadeus and some of our EU Podcasters to start one next month.

Thank you, and the changes have been made.

Signups are filling now, We have a shoutcast team ready for thursday and two shoutcasting teams ready for Saturday!!

We also now have a second arena thanks to tehMaker, who will be joining us during the event on the warrior team.

If you are interested in testing out your shoutcasting, we have an open spot for sure on Thursday.

We are still looking for a second Shoutcaster for Thursday!

I’ll tune in ; ]

Okay so two big notes of news. We are asking people not to stream the events to help push people to the shoutcasters to give them a chance at practice. You can record it and put it up on youtube later.

Secondly we are going to be grabbing some of the top tournament guys to lend their name to the teams and coach (not play) the players, to talk strategy, specs, and general coaching.

A new post is coming soon that will state more as to why!

Can’t Wait. Looking forward to seeing who is doing the coaching.

I’m sorry. It turns out I will be unavailable for the tournament. I didn’t realize the time zone was Pacific until just now, meaning it would be 2:30 PM for me instead of 5:30. I hope everyone has a good time though.
