Heyo everyone! We’re here today to announce the GW2PvPTV 2v2 Tournaments! This is something that we at PvPTV have been organizing for a bit, and were just about ready to start! Starting on the first official date, we will be having these on a weekly or biweekly basis giving you guys plenty of opportunity for competition. The first tournament will be held on the 23rd of November! Starting at 2PM EST Anyone is welcome to sign up. The tournament will have 16 teams and run on the following format:
- All matches will be fought in the cave on Temple of the Silent Storm
- All games will be played on NA servers
- All games Best of 3
- Grand Finals will be Best of 7
We’re also proud to announce that this tournament will have regular prizing provided by ArenaNet! The winning team members will each receive one 2000 gem card and second place team members will also be receiving one 800 gem card.
We have a set of rules that players must follow. Please keep in mind these rules only apply to this specific tournament (2v2 #1) and that the rules may change for future tournaments. Please make sure to abide by them to ensure maximum flow and fun for all competitors:
- Teams may not consist of the following compositions:
* Double Bunkers (see below rules for clarification on this)
* Any Class Stacking
* Minion Necro and Spirit Ranger (on the same team) - If a team consists of any of the previously listed compositions they will be given approximately 10 minutes to change violating parts of the composition. If they cannot complete this task in the time allotted the team will be disqualified.
- Once a player is stomped, he or she may not rejoin the fight or join the spectator team. Players that do this will be disqualified.
- Players may not make use of any form of Hacking, Mods, or Game Exploits as defined by the Guild Wars 2 User Agreement
- No Purposefully avoiding combat (otherwise known as delaying/stalling). Admins will decide when and if players are stalling. First offense is a warning, Second offense will give your opponents one point, Third offense is Disqualification. Example of stalling would be abusing stealth or other mechanics to clear combat and regain health.
- Each team must be standing at opposite ends of the cave when the round begins
- If a player willingly leaves the cave (bottom of the staircase), The opposing team will be given one point. Being CC’d onto the staircase does not count so long as the player promptly returns to the main battleground
- Players have 5 minutes to change builds between rounds. We recommend players have multiple characters of the same class prepared so that they may be ready to switch in a timely manner if they wish.
- Admins will determine bunkers on a build by build basis, but as a general definition it is defined as being able to soak up, negate, or redirect massive amounts of damage while having a much lesser focus on damage output. For example a 0/0/10/30/30 Cleric’s Amulet Guardian would probably be considered a bunker, but a stealth focused mesmer would not. Please keep in mind that this is a very loose definition, and once more admins will have the final say on if a build is a bunker or not.
- Admins reserve the right to change/alter the rules at any time
And that’s about it guys! Sensotix and I are looking forward to casting this and seeing some intense action! The tournament will be live on PvPTV . If you would like to sign up, all you need to do is fill out the form at the bottom of this post. We will be choosing teams randomly to give everyone a fair chance to compete. Good luck to all and were looking forward to seeing you live!
