Guild Wars 2

felivear.1536:

I liked it, I just wish the PvP guests (players) get more of the showcase and direct the flow of the conversation more. Also, if you can post a topic somewhere where players can post questions before and others VOTE on them, then that way we know the most important questions to the masses get asked, that would be great.

This is something we will try a lot harder for the next show to bring the participating players a bit more into the discussion.

Regarding the questions we did have a thread here on the forums where people could post what they wanted on the show and people could then +1 those that they liked. As for getting an poll to target out individual questions or “rank” the questions would be a lot of work given we had over 200 questions in the previous thread. So using the forum +1 System is a good way to indicate if it is a good question.

Hey Guys!

First I want to just take a minute to Thank all of you who participated in the stream for King of the Beta – Reaching 1800 viewers at peak was way above what we hoped for and we got the community to thank for it!

As you may know by now the tournaments will feature eight teams duking it out in a 3 round best-of-three format.

The prize pool will be $500 USD and will also include a sizable sum of in-game gold. (Players who wish to donate can mail the gold to Frozire.4972)

With that, I want to let you know that we just released the bracket for the European tournament which can be found here: http://binarybeast.com/xGW21305130

We are still looking for teams for our NA tournament that will be held on the 2nd of June. Players who wish to participate can sign their team up by filling out the form found here.

NA Registration remains open till the 24th of May while EU registration is now closed!

If you are an active Guild Wars 2 sPvP player there is a big chance you have heard about Guru State of the Game – and if you aren’t into sPvP there is a big chance you have been wondering why there weren’t a PvE or WvW equivalent of the show. We released an article on Guru designed to help you understand where we are coming from and hopefully motivate people to help us start all these wanted new projects.

One thing you need to know is that Guru is ran entirely of volunteers who are just exceptionally dedicated and motivated to do the things they do here. Finding volunteers who are willing and able to put in multiple hours a week to maintaining or preparing something like State of the Game is really tough.

So when people ask, can’t you just start a PvE and WvW show? Yes, we could have such a show up and running in just a few days/weeks, we got the contacts and the platform is there. But finding someone who is willing to invest the amount of volunteer hours that is required is a whole other thing.

On top of that it is not just about finding someone willing – but also finding someone who is capable, has the technical experience and equipment to run a livestream show.

If you think you are a fitting persona for the above description, then you should not hold back in contacting us. Head over to thread linked below for more information and to get in touch!
