Ok, lets face it: the dream of “esports,” though long dead, will never be achieved with the current client and ANet’s sorry excuse for tournament advertising.
If instead we had a client that inherently promoted events, they would all get much much more exposure and the scene would actually grow.
Edit: to clarify, this is what I think character select should look like.
Nobody gives a crap about the medals and achievements; not even PvE nerds.
And please, why not add chat window in character select? Sometimes we want to idle or AFK but still be reachable by our gw2 buddies without having to render all the engis spamming nades in our face while we’re trying to watch netflix.
