Good Afternoon,
As per the confirmed update from Arenanet here:
https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/pvp/NA-July-Monthly-Tournament-Investigation
The ban will remain temporary until we feel it is appropriate to re visit the issue.

Ive always wanted to join one of these community driven tourneys, but never found a good team to join.
Hey there,
Feel free to join our discord community and try our lfg chat to find a team possibly:
https://discord.gg/yxUgDVW
Hope that helps some what!
Glad to see Jeb at least have a spine and actually act and not just “We’ll look into it^tm”
Out of curiosity, how will you make sure they filthy cheaters human waste don’t use alts and sign up? What if they use VPN and use voice changer/friends/relative to get past the Voice check in discord? Just wondering. Props for actually taking action though
All teams must use our comms for tournaments. You ask a very valid question. In all honesty there is no 100% fool proof way we can guard against this, but we do have some methods to reduce this issue.
Banning the only halfway decent players because you get bullied into doing it by opportunistic people faking outrage in order to further kill off their scene because all they care about is their own ego.
What are you basing these bans on? TOS being broken? In that case I advice you ban half of NA, including the people that probably endlessly whined to you about doing this.
IMO it’s none of anyones business other than anet of what people does w their ingame tourn winnings. The only way I could find a ban justified from your end is if someone actually changed the outcome of a match by cheating. Nothing like that happened.
But yeah, I’m sure jeff convincing you of banning the team that always beats him is all done in the ‘’fairness of competition’’ and not you getting bullied by whispers and not having the nuts to take a stance.
Good day,
I apologise if you have been misinformed about the current situation. I have spoken to a majority of players, community members and viewers about this occurrence.
If you believe that one person is able to convince an entire organisation which is run democratically to ban others I am afraid that you are sadly mistaken.
If we see cheating in the game mode which is the feature of our tournament, we will act. To run an organisation you must have rules. This enables a safe and structured environment to foster a positive gameplay experience and environment. If we feel this is in breach of our ethics we will act.
Please refer to the start of the thread mentioning temporary ban. If things change, we will change our stance.
Thanks.
Jebro
I don’t agree. You are enacting punishment on behalf of Anet. Let them fail on their own.
Also what happened did not happen during your tournament and you have no business punishing ppl.
We are not enacting a punishment on behalf of Arenanet.
We prefer to keep the integrity and true spirit of the UGO in tact. This information can also be found in our ruleset. This is a temporary ban.

The staff had a meeting. This was a group decision which I stand by.
Question has there been any actual definitive proof of this incident? Since as of yet none has been provided and if no one has any definitive proof how can you ban players from a tournament on grounds of them cheating?
Or is solely based on baseless accusations of a certain player that is upset thy lost akittennce they claim (key word here) to have proof but refuse to divulge it?
Temporary, we are awaiting further details. As I said in this uncertain situation we have chosen to take this action.
Which players are being banned, the owners of the accounts who won or the players who shared their accounts?
Both.
Good day,
We at the UGO want to provide a place for you, (whether it be a viewer or player) to watch and compete in fair competition.
It is important to us that we hold the integrity of the tournament to a high standard. We want to grow and provide even more tournaments for the future and with the expac announcement, the hype can only build for the future of PvP.
In light of recent events regarding the NA players that were involved with the Automated Monthly Tournaments, we have seen fit to temporarily ban them from our tournaments.
We have come to this decision as a group that care about our tournaments and you the player/viewer.
We thank you for your time and hope to see you in the NA tournament this sunday.
Many thanks
Jebro

This is with a few weeks to go and most donations will be on the day! SO EPIC!!
bumping this back to the top
Beast youre a good man! But its also already pinned in the forum which is awesome in itself!
Bless your heart Jebro, it’s a shame devs don’t seem to have as much passion for the PvP as you apparently do. How long has it been since the actual PvP season ended and they’re yet to announce the next one :/
Im sure itll pop up soon bud!
very nice…..if we want some help or more details should we mail you in game?
You can do that or join the discord and ping me there
you are amazing
happy to donate gold so send invite
you can send gold to jebro.6370 or jebb.6819
I sincerely hope you won’t split teams up in fear of a super team dominating the competition for a little while.For one it’s not a bad thing if one teams co sistentlh win and it fuels competition(look at rogue in Overwatch).If you want this to be a glorified academy gaming sure limit pro players from forming teams amongst themselves,but if you allow them to play without artificial handicaps and encourage pure competition.The scene will grow
There are no limitations for pro league players currently. Because there is no pro league and also this is a fresh start. At present there is no plan to limit players forming any team they wish. They just need to stay in the rules stated. Pretty much 1 tourney per region per month for any player
LFM For Team Problematic (Check post in “Looking For..”. thread)

Good day!
Unity Gaming Org is launching its first Guild Wars 2 NA & EU 5v5 Monthly Tournaments this June. The aim is to provide a monthly avenue for players to compete for cash prizes. We are working in partnership with matcherino.com. This is a crowd funding website which gives the community a chance to donate directly to the prize pool fund.
Tournament Information:
EU Tournament – 11th June – 2pm BST/3pm CEST Start Time
NA Tournament – 18th June – 2pm EDT/11am PDT Start Time
Signups:
EU – https://goo.gl/6xBqj3
NA – https://goo.gl/Tggplg
Prizing
1st Place: Cash prizing will be available for a Total of 65% share of the total prizepool raised. (Should the prizepool remain at $50 they receive the total amount)
2nd Place: Cash prizing will be available for a total of 35% of the total prizepool (Subject to over $50 being raised, otherwise in game currency will be issued)
3rd Place: 500 Gold (100 Gold per player, subject to community goals reached for 2nd place prizing)
Please visit our Matcherino Page for NA & EU below. Please note that most funding happens during the tournament livestream, but you can begin to donate now. Timings of streams will be announced closer to the event. You can donate your FREE dollar (50 free codes per Tournament) to both NA & EU tournaments. Just click DONATE at the top right of the regions matcherino page to donate or enter that free dollar!
NA Matcherino Donation Page: https://matcherino.com/b/tournaments/6248/description
Free $ Code – UGONA
EU Matcherino Donation Page: https://matcherino.com/b/tournaments/5804/description
Free $ Code UGOEU
All donations go straight to the players themselves. If you purchase a reward, a % of that purchase goes towards the overall prize pool for that region.
You may also donate Gold to the tournament, as we want to supply 3rd place prizing with a 500 gold prize per tournament. Any gold raised over this figure will rollover to the next tournament and also given away in chat during the tournament streams.
NOTE: Gold donations can be sent to jebb.6819 & jebro.6370 (we may add accounts if amounts exceed the weekly mail total).
Teams that wish to take part in the Tournament must also join our discord: https://discord.gg/yxUgDVW . This is to make communication easier and to solve any issues leading up to or on the day of the tournament.
We are so happy to bring you this tournament! If the first tournament is successful, we’ll continue with regional tournaments once per month. We are also looking into in-game rewards for other events such as 1v1s, 2v2s AND 5v5s so stay tuned for news on those.
STAFF: We are still looking for Admins and casters for both regions. Please join the discord here to enquire about joining our staff and to join the tournament/community:

As always, if you have ANY questions or comments please do not hesitate to leave them below.
Many thanks
Unity Gaming Org Team.
As others have said this is a great initiative! I look forward to helping and participating whenever I can!
Make sure to join the discord and send me a message
Great initiative!
Regarding the participation of not-so-pro players, Sindrener talked about a Team-Captain approach. Former Pro League players each take 4 semi-pro members into their teams, scrimming with them before the tournament and teaching them the depths of structured pvp as far as possible.
This could be something we do monthly also but separate to the cash tournament. The captains would have to be very reliable, Sind and Misha is fine, but having others would be important. Tbh even an exhibition match once a month between a misha and sind team might be pretty cool in itself
Can we not have real money on the table? The community driven tournament should be for the community. Putting money on the table just seems like it’s trying to bring back ESL, but without the actual support of ESL.
Just put some legendaries in the prize pool. Or maybe Anet will be nice and gift lege armor when that comes out.
Money was never really the problem regarding the ESL Tournaments. Money wont be a focus of the tournament, even if every viewer gave $1 and we get a few hundred viewers its still a nice little monthly pocket money. Really we will just have to see how it works out. If money becomes an issue then we can switch to a more in game currency for winning. Really I want this to be community driven, so thanks for the feedback and pls keep it coming. Guys like you will shape it for the future
So, how could the community contribute to this initiative?
I was thinking maybe have a guild we can join to deposit gold into each month to serve as either a bump to the prize pool and/or to allow for runner up prizes as well. If you make the effort to do a daily it gives you 2g so those who currently don’t do dailies you could spend an extra minute or two, get the daily and donate that a few times. You don’t just have to PvP for dailies, there’s often easy WvW and PvE dailies.
I’d be willing to contribute 10-50g a month as a regular donation to begin with maybe more if I ever become a TP baron.
I believe prize pool gonna consist of real money, and thats better for everyone.
I heard it could be donation based, like TI for Dota. Dunno if its gonna be like that but its a good idea.
I have formed a guild which could def give out prizing. I want to be very careful about this as we would not be able to guarantee specifics for each Tournament. Community cash donations through matcherino are easily distributed as well. Of course people are welcome to join the guild and donate to the bank. Pls PM or mail me in game to join the guild and Ill hit people up with an invite
This will be just for NA or for both regions?Are you limited “pro players” to only 2 per team like some other tourneys? I heard somewhere there were going to be like 4$ tourneys with the prize pool increasing as the community donates.Great initiative i know a lot of people who have been waiting for a opportunity to play competitively again.Great work!
What Jazz said pretty much! More details inc after our first staff meeting
Hey all!
SO! Some of you may have heard about a new PvP initiative, ‘’Únity Gaming Org’’.
The goal is to run monthly EU/NA GW2 Tournaments for 5v5. This Org is being set up with the community in mind in terms of participation, organisation & production.
We have a crew forming and we want YOU to get involved in any way you can.
The discord link is below:
https://discord.gg/yxUgDVW
On joining you will be able to find myself and others to communicate with if you would like to do be an admin, writer, featured youtuber, mod and more. Players are also very much encouraged to join the discord to co-ordinate in these future tournaments.
Im not messing around and want this to be a well oiled machine before launching our first tournament. My hope is to begin in early June. I realise this may seem far away for a lot of people, but it really isnt.
I welcome any questions in the comments and hope to see as many players as possible supporting the cause.
I want to talk about prizing but right now this is still a detail we are finalising.
Many thanks and see you in the discord.
Jebro
What’s gonna happen to your Caster career now buddy? Are you going to focus on other games now? Are you going to continue casting random sPvP games or some other community tournaments should they happen? Genuine questions! You’ve done great so far!
Cheers!
Hey man! Im currently casting Rocket League for ESL. Also Im starting up an Org for GW2 Tourneys I hope which will be community driven. Watch this space on that! Also streaming full time over here in the states

jebro, random shot in the dark from a random:
are you a fan of the men in blazers show?
Literally had to look it up. As an Englishman I have never heard of them
so basically your saying because people were born on a different part of this giant rock they are automatically much different and kinder and better.
Well compare two different species of bird, that evolved in different parts of the world. They are both majestic and unique in their own way, but due to certain environmental factors sub species could display completely different behavioral patters. Yes they are both birds, and no bird is more special than another bird when you consider a universal perspective; all live is amazing. However, its undeniable that sociological and behavioral patters of humans can vary from culture to culture.
I’m no psychologist but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out there’s a difference in the average player in EU and NA regions. But don’t take my word for it, go check it out for yourself. You’re still gonna lose in EU, and you’re still gonna have blowouts, but they are less common, and even when they do happen you don’t have people expressing their negative emotions quite as frequently and as vulgarly as in NA.
so EU and NA are also different species? i agree it can be different but im getting tired of non stop EU is superior to NA comments constantly. if you even mention your NA in a thread or stream you instantly get comments like “well na isnt real pvp anyway” as if the comment has no validity. your sample size is too small to say its for sure better 100%. id say you got lucky. EU has toxic people so does NA its no different.
Jebro is in the top 50 in NA.
Just let that sink in for a minute.
Jebro….top 50….NA….Jebro.
1, Im not top 50 NA (Although its a fantastic meme)
2, Who are you.
3, Im improving as of late, it seems moving to NA gave me the focus I needed (thats a wink which infers sarcasm)The baldest Jebro.
My mistake then, just thought I heard you say it on your stream late at night and you being NA I can’t exactly check.
Yup. You are indeed mistaken. jebroBaldkappa.

Im hoping to initiate some ESL Tourneys for NA Come Spring. Otherwise Id be up for hosting an NA version of any tourney if we can get the support
Well Pro League players & anyone can submit! Dont be shy!!
haha true, prob better to run this during a ranked season
Nice plays indeed.
BUT I really need submissions to keep this going
Hey all!
Week 1 submissions went well for my Top 5 plays of the week.
The first week was very popular:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyXz8cV62Dk&spfreload=5
Please note that the top play is the only one rated out of the top 5 shown in the video. Other submissions were taken, but were commended.
Id love to follow this up as often as possible. Weekly might not be viable in the off season out of ranked play.
Id like to produce a video by next weekend 8th May ’16 for a follow up. So get those submissions in!
I just wanted to bring the attention of this series to the community. The details on how to submit are on the description and below:
Ill be showing weekly YOUR footage. Send me a top play, no longer than 40 seconds, to the below email & you can have a chance of being entered into a Monthly top 5 plays to win 800 or 400 gem codes!
Email to: GW2top5plays@gmail.com
Submit a link, google drive link, drop box link or other form of recording so I can easily download it & include it in an upcoming top 5!
Rules
- Please write a small description as to why you feel your play should be in the top 5 for the week, along with a build link.
- Every SUNDAY Ill compile these plays and put together the top 5. Week 2 deadline is: 8th May ’16 at 12pm GMT.
- Footage must be recorded within two months of the current Top 5 Plays week you are submitting too. This means 2016 people!
- No longer than 40 seconds of footage
- Footage must be easy too access & by submitting the footage you are giving me permission to post the footage in a compilation on my channel.
- Please submit an IGN (i.e. Jebro.6370) as well as an alias so I can mention you in the video & contact you about the giveaway if you win/come 2nd.
- Footage must be of your own play. Not footage from another claiming it for your own.
- No edits other than the 40 second splice. This must but a 40 second all in one rolling clip.
- The clip can for example, be your own contribution in a team fight that helped to sway the fight or even snowball the map.

- Build (can be a link)
- Recorded date
- Contact (ign i.e. jebro.6370)
- Alias (name you want to be called by in the video & on screen)
Thanks & I hope you can get involved with this fun weekly series! Any questions or rules you think that would be good to add please state them below.
Cheers!
I have a couple of questions:
It’s obviously easier to make massive plays against teams of lower skilled players, how will this be taken into account?
Also are multiple submissions allowed per player?
You can make one submission per week so choose wisely.
To be honest, even if it is vs lower skilled players we will be able to clearly see. By the way the other player or players in the team fight are reacting etc.
I want all level of players to have an opportunity to submit footage
Hey all!
Im starting a new series, where players can submit their own top play of the week!
First entries end on the 19th April & will continue weekly!
All the info can be found in the below video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClxdaxKs7Ek

For once, I will actually defend my own camera work on this occasion.
I never do if I see a post like this (which rarely happens) because its all personal opinion, other than if I have blatantly missed something, which happens & I wont deny that.
When using the camera, and being a player/viewer, many want to see the PoV of their fave player, they want to see abilities used in different situations, yes that happens, but it cant happen throughout the entire game. The game has many different aspects to cover & also a story to set the scene, we need the general overlook which imo was explained through each game yesterday.
Cap points
Kills
Downs
Respawns
Rotations
buffs
etc
With a new META also brings new work to the camera in terms of how the caster approaches it, the pace has increased, fights are back in ‘roads’ so its a matter of adjusting which I was fairly happy with.
Complaints about camera were few and far between as I re-watched the cast and the chat, so I feel this is more of a personal aspect for yourself.
As someone said above, there were issues here and there which I realise and I do go back and watch my casts to improve that work on the next show. I appreciate feedback, but constructive.
Heaven forbid there’s a dedicated healer or support?
What was worse, was the cele meta of D/D. Yea sure bunker support ele is a more defined role, but the ele cant kill much, it can only support. Best thing is, this can bring out different situations.
Forcing an ele into a 1v1 where it cant rotate out, thus leaving it out of team fights might be a tactic we see in the next META, difficult with no portal but do able. This was similar to how TCG used to deal with Tage for example back in Bunker Guard meta (just an example).
Bunker Guard META wasn’t horrible to watch or play against a lot of the time its a similar ish role the ele now picks up with clerics and Soldier rune, although Ele has more self preservation regarding burst and power/condi with the Focus Earth abilities and such.
As for Aura sharing, with necro you will likely see more people going for the condi remove than the sharing of auras in all honesty.
