Guild Wars 2

This new “swiss cheese” or whatever they called it tournament style for season 2 might introduce even more unbalanced matchups than last season. How does it make sense to have the winners from tiers 1-3 player each other?

U dun goofed anet

What makes you think that nobody gonna compete?

matchmaking will be dynamic instead of predetermined

its better

only if it is more dynamic and less predictable then what they use on week-2-week basis

Its mean the teir 1 servers will fight each other more often, week one jq/bg/tc, week 2 JQv?v?, bgv?v?, tcv?v?, seeing as the teir 1s should win week 3 would go back to jq/bg/tc. Rinse repeat.

People go to EOTM?

i thought people had enough with the new toy already ?

It hardly counts when they’re from BG players talking SoR in a SoR titled thread.

^ lol

Pretty sure you’ll see JQ and TC competing. We may not be able to win but we’re certainly going to try.

It’s not really better at all in this case. They system they are using is better suited to competitions where all parties have an equal shot at winning. That, however, is not the case with GW2 WvW. A tier 5 server has absolutely no chance of winning vs a T1, but with this system they will be matched against each other. As lower tier servers win they will be forced to fight the T1 winner and get crushed. As T1 servers lose they will fight lower tier winners/losers and absolutely crush them. The 3 tier 1 servers might fight each other a few more times but the result is still the same unless things get heavily weighted, the only servers with a chance of winning are T1 servers.

There is no real point in the tournament as there is no real competition except T1. It’s like having a tournament with 3 NFL teams, some college teams, a few high school teams, and some peewee teams. You might as well just have the competition between the 3 NFL teams because watching them crush a peewee team is zero entertainment.
