FA moved from T3 with only a 45-point differential between DB and ourselves, if I remember correctly. I expect it’s pretty much a flip of the coin if Mag drops or not. Pretty good chance that whoever has the highest glicko in T3 by the end of the week (looks to be CD) will go T2.

Cheers to CD for having the gumption to play for T2. It’s a good thing to challenge yourself to do better.

Being the new face in town also means that CD will probably get more than a few transfers from T1 post-S3 if CD can hold their own decently. If they have a good reputation after 4 weeks of T2, whether or not they win by any close margin or not, then they can expect to get at least a few guilds from T1 weary of the T1 blobs/politics. It should be a fun, challenging, and certainly educational experience for them.

Tip of my hat to you, good sirs and madams.

yeah, it would be good if CD could get few guilds from T1 if we ever get to T2. that would revitalize the old rivalry of CD-SoS and CD-FA.

Drop down a tier or two and finding 20 people across all maps outside NA prime on a server is difficult (DB and CD are probably the only two).

Unless SotD left Darkhaven, DH have a solid 25+ on SEA. If the other servers didn’t had more or just as much, I really doubt DH would be rank 17, since OCX/SEA pretty much inflate a server score (which mean, pushing up on ranks).

Just because you belive that every server below T2 is a complete wasteland, doesn’t mean it really is.

Servers in T3-4 right now are not fighting to their full potential. The competitive matches are merely an illusion and do not predict actual tournament performance.

Honestly, that’s pretty accurate. It’s hard to gauge SBI and DB because they’ve gained and lost guilds, had people quit, had some come back, etc. CD always claims they’re on vacation and not really PPTing, throwing out some arbitrary percentage like 75%. And we know YB’s tryhard PPT siegehump mode is very different from YB in offseason mode. DR’s been steadily getting bandwagoned, so it’s hard to say where they place in these 5 servers now.

In the past 3 weeks, I believe DB, YB, and SBI have been in a tankfest. I think CD’s manning up, but whether or not they have enough Glicko to roll Gold remains to be seen.

Edit: so it turns out you can’t put a+s+s together (as in a+s+s+e+s+s), or the entire word becomes “kitten”. GG overfiltering

There are some tanking, for last 2 weeks. But definitely not 8 week. Also from what I understand, the goal is only not to get to that current #7 spot instead of tank as low as possible that some may think. I still remember a 3 way in smc a couple nights before.

I acknowledge that the tanking only started after Season 3 was announced, but a lot has changed in the past 8 weeks for the T3 servers: gaining/losing guilds and pugmanders, stale matchups, lack of effort, etc. The servers from 8 weeks ago are very different from the servers now. And the score now doesn’t really reflect their strength because of the tankfest going on.

It’s really difficult to tell who’d come out on top or how balanced the tier actually is once Seasons actually start.

Having fought two seasons of YB a few things became clear. One, they know how to rally their PvE populations into WvW and use them effectively. Two, they siege the hell out of everything around them. Couple those together and the YB during seasons is far more dangerous than outside of it.

Look on the bright side Mag, for you all it will only be 4 weeks. The week after the tournament you’ll drop.

For any T3 server who moves up to Gold they’re looking at at least 8 weeks of Gold + SoS.

What I don’t understand is why the T3 servers are tanking. Are the dumb and meaningless rewards really worth this farcical tankfest?

I’d understand tanking for the previous two seasons. 7-9 weeks of getting farmed is usually bad for servers.

However, this tournament is only 4 weeks long. We’ve had stale matchups for far longer than 4 weeks. And this is 4 weeks where the current T3 servers would get a shot at fighting servers they haven’t seen in a loooong time (if ever), without the pressure of having to worry about the PPT game. If I were a diehard WvW’er on a T3 server, I’d absolutely make the push for Gold, considering how short this tournament is.

You will stay in T2 far longer than 4 weeks due to the ratings stabilizing and T3 dropping points due to being matched with T4 and T5 … Getting farmed for at least 1 month of tourney and another month of non-tourney is not something you wish to endure

Not CD’s fault. The RNG kittened Mag by rolling DR up. Even if CD wins, they might still lose Glicko to DR.

Case in point: SBI in the T4 matchup is losing Glicko, but still moved up to the #7 slot. DR’s Glicko vortex may have doomed Mag to Gold.

And the only ones who raided were NS and EPIC. The rest were never raiding, just PvE (yes I’m counting ocx times aswell). Sure SoS lost a little bit of NA Primetime power the past week but we got new Chinese guilds that make the ocx even stronger. FA are growing and Mag is holding out a little better each week. We’ll have to see what Glicko does I guess.
