Guild Wars 2

Made a short build guide of the very known spirit ranger build just with a few tweaks I’ve made myself.
Feel free to ask here or message me in-game if you have any questions about it.
Build: http://intothemists.com/guides/4382-laaws_spirit_ranger

You just need to add at least one token every two weeks to make sure it doesn’t get deleted.

Terrorsquad.2349:

Thank you very much for the clarification!

Cheers

No problem, feel free to ask if you have more questions.

Terrorsquad.2349:

Could you explain the tasks a bit? And is it only helping on the website or also ingame?

I would like to have a bit more information about this!

Thanks in advance

Most of the tasks as an admin is “helping” on the website, as stated in the original post you’re going to help solve support- and protest tickets, create cups, create news/announcement posts etc.
There’s not a lot of ingame tasks to be done, during cups we usually always have an ingame representant but that’s about it.

Vamp Rook.7835:

I think that 2vs2 signup date is wrong at ESL, we can’t do it until tuesday and it ends on wednesday…but the cup start on tuesday.

Should be fixed now.

Penguin.5197:

Can the team name be different from guild name? I’m thinking yes but wanna make sure

AFAIK guild name doesn’t matter one bit.

You can use the whole Courtyard map. But it’s not allowed to purposely avoiding combat for 30secs+.

This starts in just over one hour btw!

Realist.5812:

You’re trying to scam players out of money for some fake tournament.

I can personally vouch for Dirame not trying to scam anyone.

This is now live on Blu’s stream!

2k gems to each player on the winning team and 800 gems to each player on second place!

My team didn’t play in the tournament, can we still get on?

I’m currently looking into possibilities for hosting something like this.

Rarnark.5623:

Where is the interview?

On Jebro’s stream.

Gonna be really good tonight!

Will Blu make an emote for his channel called mistStache? it’ll show Blu’s fabulous moustache.

Romek.4201:

What about using ESL weekly cups as a elimination to the big tournemnts? 1-2 months before such tournament team will have to dogn in to the esl and gain some point after wining vs team , that would bring more teams to ESL , kinda sad to see 6 same teams every week

I would say this is a good idea if the ESL wasn’t held at the worst time possible. A Saturday night. Needs to be held in the early afternoon, or even Sunday.

ESL Weekly Cups is on a thursday, not saturday. Those are the Mistpedia Weekly Cups.

With the upcoming Tournament of Legends and the April 15th patch, we have decided to resurrect the Guild Wars 2 eSports channel on QuakeNet.

What this means is that if you have any questions on your mind regarding any aspect of the game’s PvP or just want to have a place where likeminded people hang out, this is the place to be. Wether it’s about rotation, new builds or just general chat about the game’s PvP. Of course you can also discuss the various tournaments that are being held and if you’re lucky, your suggestions might just be heard by some of the tournament organizers idling in the channel.

This is also the perfect place if you’re new to PvP. Besides all the people that are hanging out and chatting in the channel, we also have our friendly neighbourhood bot, KarlBot. KarlBot is able to show you some getting-started guides as well as meta builds and streamers. Simply type !help to get started with getting to know KarlBot and his commands better.

For those of you who have never used IRC before, fear not. QuakeNet has a webchat that is really easy to use. All you have to do is click here, fill in your desired nickname and click on Join cat and voila, you are ready to voice your opinion or get help.

For those who wants to join via their own IRC client:

* Server: irc.quakenet.org
* Channel: #gw2esports

TL;DR: Click here, enter nickname, join, profit!

Allie Murdock.8152:

This is an equal opportunity tournament. Those that focus on PvE and WvW are absolutely welcome to sign up. This is not a PvE vs. PvP situation. What’s good for PvP is good for everyone.

And to clarify on a few things:

This tournament is being hosted by Mistpedia, similarly to the way PAX was done with Mist League. I have faith that Sireph, Blu, Shadowplasm, and their team will do a fantastic job, and we will be supporting them throughout the tournament. In hindsight, I should have emphasized that in the blog. Sorry about that!

There are going to be two tournaments. One for EU, and the following for NA. This means five Legendaries per region.

For those that don’t think they can compete in the tournament, you can also just tune in for a chance to win some shinies. No, we’ll not be giving viewers Legendaries, but it will definitely be worth watching.

Let’s hug it out!

When you say that Mist League has hosted PAX 10.000$ tournament, you mean mistleague gave the 10.000$ they had to the PAX tournament for the cashprize ?

MMORPG.COM sponsored the cash prize for the PAX tournament. Mist League hosted the tournament like Mistpedia and ESL hosts weekly tournaments.

Vuuh.8254:

Couldn’t you have found a better timing than at the same time as the ready up which will actually for once maybe contain some useful information?

We set this time about 2 weeks ago, so we weren’t aware that Ready Up would be at this exact time.

There’s still 4 spots left for the EU one. So if you have a team and want a chance to win $400 (£240) then sign up now!

Looking forward to this!

infantrydiv.1620:

Woooooo! it’s too bad NA doesn’t have a weekly tournament! looks at Arenanet

You should check out this forum post

Looking forward to this!

Your custom arena moves with you to any server you transfer to, even from NA to EU.

Hey everyone,

The ESL Weekly Cup #13 is live right now!
Stream
Brackets

Jinx.7258:

GvGs have more LIVE viwers on the set than any stream of spvp tournament has on twitch. Believe it or not, many players/guilds are being asked (politely) to leave the map so the GvG-ing guilds can have all their needed members on the map. And the visibility in big fights is one of the very main issues why this game mode, GvG, isnt going anywhere and shows the lack of support. On the other hand, everyone who is aware how GvG fights work can have quite a good overview and thus shoutcast and comment on a GvG fight (Im not making this up,its already being done) if spectating someone (for instance, watching stream)

So you’re saying that there’s 800+ people watching the GvG match ingame?

Proven.2854:

2pm EST for the EU tournament today… the same usual time as Ready Up.

But! The Ready Up show is at 2pm PST this time. So 3 hours later.

Aaaaaand hitbox is down! We’re moving it back to twitch!

Hey everyone,

Since twitch is down at the moment we moved all the ESL stream over on hitbox.tv for today.
English Stream
German Stream
Chinese Stream
