Glad second place gets money. Other wise its just a who can counter the team that wins every single week.

Gratz!

Bros, no lie those games today were so fun, and exciting to play in. The lag was on EU was kittening me off a little but that’s to be expected : D. Hope we can do more soon, well played both teams.

I’m surprised it felt laggy for you – all of NCSoft’s servers are in Texas afaik, so it shouldn’t make a difference for you playing on EU servers.

Unless ANet have some sort of peering deal happening meaning your data has to get bounced across the Atlantic and back…

I have both accounts NA / EU and I can say the delay is strong even more for toker who plays thief.

It’s on!!

Gem giveways

Also tcg and 55 hp are playing!

I definitely saw tcg win a few as well, I don’t know what the final count was but they were all well played games

Where did you watch it? Can you give a link? The one I watched with toker, nos, phant, etc a few hours ago, TCG won every match. TCG was down everytime at the start, but came back and won. Very close matches. Would love to be sure I’m on the same page as everyone else =D

Final score was 3:2 for TCG with NApugs throwing the last game on the final 50 points (they had 2 points in the bag and decided to yolo).
TCG lost Foefire, then won Kyhlo, then lost Foefire, then won Foefire, then won Niflhel.
All games but the third were very close (the third being a 500-130 stomp for the NA pug team)

TCG still better

Erwin.5603:

NA always 1-2 patches behind eu, nothing to add to that, I doubt they can beat tcg at WTS and I think thats the opinion of most eu/na top players.

That’s like your own opinion because if you ask to every top team in na they’ll say abjured will win.

And the “meta” each region has its own and now we’ll see which one is better

Yeah thats the thing, I think if I ask every eu team they will say TCG will win and if I ask every NA Team only half will say Abjured will win. Obviously its impossible to say for sure, since the region barrier didn’t let those 2 teams meet, but in the past I had the feeling that many top NA players felt that EU is stronger, while almost no EU players felt that way about NA, maybe its different now with Abjured being at the top (since they dominated the other NA Teams so hard, it might have cause others to think they are better than TCG).

Yeah but don’t get me wrong I’m not saying NA is better than EU, I actually think EU is much better than NA in many aspects but I also think Abjured will win vs TCG.

Absolutely great +100000000000000000000000000000000

sad thing devs will look away.

You’re welcome.

Totally agreed.

These guys were awesome, the shoutcasting was so good also their professionalism for this game is simply amazing.

I really hope we could see more of these guys in the next tournaments I’m looking forward to it!.

I agree with NA is inferior to EU in almost all aspect of this game BUT I also agree that TCG will get rekt by abjured.

So retain your orgasms EU lovers, you will see your “best universe team” getting rekt in china.

The hype is real.

Gl to all and have fun!

Great matches and the whole EU vs NA in chat was hilarious.

Thanks for Streaming it!

UP for jebro!

Gl too all, I hope to watch some good matches!

Yep, I had to login to see the brackets :/

LOL

It isn’t Ferox’s fault, in that kind of comp (bunker guard, thief,warrior,ele,MESMER) usually the mesmer has to play almost perfect every match, thats why you don’t see this comp doing well these days.

But take a look at EU, most of the best teams use this comp and that’s because their mesmer always does much better than rest of the team, examples:

Misha, Azani, Helseth etc..

Bring a necro and you should be fine.

what? cele is fine and try to get strength runes in the way too they’re awesome!

it seems you haven’t faced a decent dps guardian.

So first you say it’s not viable in the meta and now

“it still can teleport in and out of combat with ease, cleave something fierce, it has an immob, and an evasion skill, with the ability to boon-strip and peirce through blocks, access to stealth, a daze, and a nice 100% combo finisher ranged attack that is stronger than sb at cleaving targets at the cost of initiative. It’s still a fantastic weapon set”

He has never said S/D isn’t viable, I think he’s trying to say that the weapon set was a bit over the top and now it’s balanced but not unviable.

Here you go, you must have missed it

Balanced, and “Viable in the Meta” are two completely, and separate arguments. And understanding their difference helps us understand balance better. Do I think S/D can be played in the meta right now? Eh, probably not, it might be, but the play-style will be different, and it wont be as effective as it was before. But is it balanced now? Yes.

Can you bold the text where he said it? Because I can’t see it, all I see is “probably not, it might be”.

Uhm probably not means he doesn’t think that it is, but isn’t sure because he thinks its too soon to tell. in any case he’s saying he doesn’t think its viable.

come on bud, it’s not rocket science

clear enough for you?

nop but I get your point, its fine.

lol are actually some people who take this seriously?

I agree with oe’s list, you should add Glaphe to that list though.

S/D is still viable at high end pvp you have to timing your FS more often to be successful and not spam it.

S/D lost a bit of its 1vs1 potential but apart from that it is still a pretty good set if you know what you’re doing.

Impact.2780:

I’m not entirely sure what you’re saying, but what I get is steal interrupting infiltrator’s strike so you don’t go anywhere and steal goes on a 4.5 second cool down.

yep

bring up a dps comp.

If you do a good focus they’ll waste all their resses and kitten so the first teamfight will be tough for you but after that they’re trash.

sizers gonna be mad lol

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

holy jesus I’m gonna try it for sure.

Fix noscoc too op.

sadly kronos is from na :/

I’m pretty sure if he joins to the 1vs1 eu servers he would get rekt.

Nice one Egazzz

btw you need to put some rules like no celestial and 120sec+ elites, etc.

The “change” to FS wasn’t a change, it was a nerf say it.

It would be a change( and a good one) if you would have added +2 boon strip to LS again but you didn’t.

Although you can still change that, think about it.

MarkPhilips.5169:

Adrenaline changes for warriors (Berserker stance included) are not a soft nerf.

Blocks/inv/blind etc. will work on FS->LS ? If yes, it’s not a soft nerf for s/d damage.

BTW both of them are interesting changes.

FS needs to hit the target so if it can’t hit you won’t get LS.

Thanks Inculpatus!

Hey folks, I’m going to change my region from NA to EU in game, and I want to know one thing.

My question is : Do my skins remain(wardrobe)? even if I delete all my characters and stuff.

Totally deserved it.

Congratz to blu and thanks to everybody who donated.

Lopez.7369:

It would probably be better if that failed too. I think we reward mediocrity too much in this community because we have a hard time getting much more, given the state of the game. Blu is a pretty terrible shoutcaster who’s often missing very basic calls.

Blu is the only reason why this game has tournaments every week.
Blu is the only reason why gw2 gets more than 500 viewers sometimes.

And wow lopez you should do very well at shoutcasting, I’d like to hear your cute voice.

People like you is what makes me hate this community.

Also, he totally deserved his trip to gamescon.

Should try soloq if u want to pug

I don’t disagree, but until rewards are equal, team queue will basically be solo queue. Why should a premade get stuck playing against a pug team? It’s not fun, unless you are one of those people who like 500-100 matchups.

Why should? dunno man maybe because Teams do TeamQ.

I apologize if your team can only beat pugs. I didn’t mean it as an insult. I’m just saying that most teams would prefer competition.

I have a team and we’re working to get into top 40-30, I apologize if you don’t have a team and have to get destroyed by them.

How I reach to these guyzzzzzzz….

S/D isn’t the problem itself but runes and sigils.

Also nerfing Feline Grace would help to this cause but the whole set would get totally destroyed.

I would like to see a nerf to Feline Grace and a buff to FS (steal 2 buff again please).

I think they named it TEAM queue for something.

Dude I don’t want to sound rude but How long till you get good at this game?

Like really, every I mean EVERY kittening thread/post from you is about whining, nerf this nerf that buff this buff that, balance these balance those STOP already.

And why people still think S/D is broken, IT DOESN’T.

What brought back S/D again into the meta? new runes/sigils.

Do you want to see when S/D was OP? let me find some random video from Jumper when s/d was beyond op when 2 was a stunbreak and had not cd when FS stole 2 buffs instead of 1.

In those times S/D was broken, OP, strong, or w/e you want to name it. S/D is good in this meta only for the buffs to runes/sigils.

EDIT: The only thing I will nerf would be Feline Grace.
