Yea, shadow form assassins are very vulnerable and dangerous to use, but if the other team is unprepared, GG. They're a major gamble, one which WM lost out with.

*Order of Apostasy, Well of the Profane... I'm probably missing at least one more. Shatter Enchantment would have been completely useless.

Every kind of non-spell skills will be able to remove Spell Breaker or Shadow Form, Obsidian Flesh, etc... You forgot Signet of Disenchanment

I think Evil offered WM, 50K ECTOS if they could win and WM accepted it. WM is WAY better then Evil lol.

Yeah, that makes sense. I will take stupid ectos over 100.000 dollars, every time. Who needs real money anyway

Ps. Are you a hippie?

It's actually $50,000 for the first place. And this final round doesn't involve money at all... it's the Germany finals that offers money.. Both Top guilds have the seat in the tourni anyways..
and hippies won't care for this game either I don't think..

This guaranteed not facing them until the final round when they would already have more prize money in the bank. I'm not sure if it's true though, but that is a rumor I have heard...

This makes a lot of sense to me. That might be why they had shadow form assassins AFTER they saw the freaking mesmer use sig of disenchantment.

My understanding is these mmrpg/competitive games (whatever you want to call them) are big business around asia - there are even t.v. shows covering them and big cash prizes. Professional gaming - it exists in the west too.

Wow, I would love this:

"Honey! Our guild just won the International Finals! Now we can buy our dream home and put our kids through college!"

Oh those would be the days
