Hi everyone, Storm here once again talking about AG’s future in GW2.

First off, I want to apologize about the last few weeks that I’ve been unable to stream due to Internet issues I’m still working out.

That being said, the final AG weekly will be on November 30th and will be open to literally anyone and everyone to play as a free agent or team. Pro Leaguers are welcome to play as full 5-man teams as I would like to have this final weekly event go out with a strong showing that I will 100% stream.

AG is coming up on 97 weeks tonight, but unfortunately I’ve had to cancel this week’s and next week’s events due to preparation for other things I’m currently involved in. If you’re interested in signing up for the real week 97 which will now be on November 30th, here is the link (https://battlefy.com/academy-gaming/na-ag-weekly-97/5823ddfa7e7c694203de6f92/info).

I have a lot of exciting things for my casting future starting soon which causes me to end this weekly event. I am still happy to say I will be running 1-2 events per month on Saturdays without any player restrictions. These dates are undetermined but will be on Battlefy at least 1 week beforehand with the same prizing as a weekly.

The AG Weekly has been a pleasure to host for nearly two years now and is what got me into commentating. So thanks to everyone who has played, watched, and supported my events. A huge shoutout to Josh who has always helped me keep these alive with prizing and promotion!

Keep an eye on http://battlefy.com/academy-gaming for future GW2 events (there will be at least 1 in December!).

Let me know if anyone has questions regarding the future events I’ll be running or anything else here. Thanks!

Yeah I was there when AG weeklies first started. Good job Storm! Anet doesn’t deserve players that put time and effort to host events for the GW2 community. Storm does it anyways despite that. GW2 needs more players like these to step up and bring more to the community.

So, even when Anet blows at their own game. The players in GW2 step up and show Anet how GW2 is really done!

AGs coulda been so much more than they are, if only devs took the time to advertise it in game.

Dope. Thanks for running AG for so long, Storm. I’ve said this a few times, before, I think, but I super appreciate what you do for GW2, and you don’t get nearly enough credit for it. Props, homie.

You did a great job with that.
I played in it once, was great fun.

Taking a break until the next xpac, we’ll see if it’s any good for competitive gametypes.
