Very cool and so much fun to watch. This is the first time I've watched a GvG video with the chat included and it's interesting and informative to listen to them strategize and count down for spikes.

Thanks so much for this.

Awesome video, very nicely made, superb quality. I will probably need to watch it 10 times to be able to begin to start to see though the action, but it's observer mode's "save as" feature!

Ty Chop chop and Rawr.

Question: what's "MB up"? I first thought it was "Morale Boost coming" but it's repeated too often.

hhmm, strange... getting Forbidden errors (403) myself - IP restrictions?
Looks like it is not open to the whole world.
No, I am not in the U S of A.

Damn, I may get there another way...

He is probably saying 'envy up' which means anthem of envy is ready/going to be used.

wow...i knew GvG was pretty organized, but this video really shows how cooperative these teams have to be.

go to www.rebelrising.net or www.teamquitter.com

There are a few different vids on each site.

Curious, they call spikes a lot but from what I see they actually attempt to spike on ~1/3rd of countdowns.

I was curious about that too. I thought spikes were better communicated, like asking if everyones skills were recharged and ready. It seems like one person is thinking 'my skill is ready so here goes the spike, everyone do it now...oh...you weren't ready?' But I don't know anything about GvG.

I thought the video was pretty cool to watch with the voices being heard. I have watched observer mode but couldn't really tell what the hell was actually going on...looked like chaos.

MB...Mind Blast?

I think they are trying to sync their skill activations to that all skills actually release on 0.

Wow. The level of cooperation is insane.
o__o
Very nice to watch. :]
Too bad I'm nowhere near that good. xD

Heh. It's stuff like this video that makes me wish I was sufficiently motivated to get into PvP proper.

Calling spikes frequently allows for more pressure to be applied to the other team. If your warriors are waiting to unload adren, or your casters are waiting to use a spell, you're losing out on possible damage that could push the other team over the edge. This is why you see rawr calling a lot of spikes, even when not everyone is ready or has the ideal skills recharged. The other players assist the caller as much as they can, however the main focus isn't to get a clean spike off everytime- instead it's to output enough damage where the opposing monks can't keep up, allowing the smaller spikes to get through.

Great video, it is always great to get a peak inside the brains of the people who are at the top of the game.

So they are basically pressuring through coordinated minispikes and at one moment the spikes start getting through (as we saw in the end). Interesting.

Sweet! GG

Weldone on the end credit good.

want more!

would be great if we can have video of the same from StS point of view ...

some basic questions:

How do you get that little directional pointer in your u map? (attachment)
How do you get the players list of your opponent to show up?

savage vapor 33 · Aug 13, 2009, 04:06 PM // 16:06

Now how can we get this video to motivate more people to gvg? I think with this video, Anet needs to think about getting a larger part of the community to participate in gvg more. Maybe a GVG update?!?

refer · Aug 13, 2009, 05:16 PM // 17:16

I wish I could do GvG, but it's like I get social anxiety when the thought of vent is brought up + other people observing you come into play. I must not be the only one.
