rigor = gg.

its even more depressing than dual MB. now 5 chars can smash there keyboard and win. also seeing top guilds running this crap makes me lose all respect for them. worst than blood spike.

hopefully uP can rickroll them and take gold. however, anet would nerf R/As if it won Monthly... maybe...

It's incredibly boring to watch*, plus rangers look 100% ridonkulous flapping around like landed trout trying to do the sin skill animations. Let's just lock all of the bspike teams and r/a teams on burning isle map and throw away the key >_>

I'll be cheering for anyone not running this crap. Thanks to mitch for explaining to me why it exists in the first place *sigh*

*Yes, I watch obs to be entertained. Not to watch 5 escape rangers fling pointy dinner knives at people.

Ok, so... I guess, whoever has the fewest people lagging out will win gold?

keli · Aug 29, 2009, 09:12 PM // 21:12

whoever has the most R/As in his/her team will win

<3 yumy for not running r/a

shame they didnt beat rawr.

we can only hope that anet see this shitfest that was a mat.
and nerf those r/a

Jensy · Aug 29, 2009, 09:33 PM // 21:33

Oh, guarantee it'll be nerfed now, which seems to be the point.

gg rawr for their third gold cape guild.

lilDeath · Aug 29, 2009, 09:37 PM // 21:37

Yes, gratz [rawr]. Nicely outbuilt, it's clever, if nothing else.

I honestly did not think almost everyone will be running R/A's.

/shrug

Shannon1 · Aug 29, 2009, 09:45 PM // 21:45

what were the final top 8 standings

MuC · Aug 29, 2009, 09:46 PM // 21:46

I think that a-net made amazing skill balance in last update.

Shrivelling Fire · Aug 29, 2009, 09:49 PM // 21:49

GG rawr gratz for 3rd gold trim.

If im honest i would rather of seen yumy or gear win. because they didnt play r/a every round

but gg adapting to the meta and beating all the other r/a trash out there

1) rawr
2)GeAr
3)yumy
4)myr
5)sup
6)vPie
7)NOW
8)daun

I have a suggestion:

1. Take the guildwars live team and place them in front of a big screen television.
2. Make them watch the rawr/sup match.
3. Make them watch it again.
4. And again.
5. And again.

My theory is that after seeing this they might realize all the ways they've RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up and start fixing the game.

rawr is collecting gold-caped guilds. Their win was more than just build. They have the best 28-minute tactics.

After a shaky swiss, it was a good mAT finish in the playoffs for American teams

ChopChop · Aug 29, 2009, 11:06 PM // 23:06

Swiss = constant lag out and error's, we were about to just stop after the 3rd round, the game was totally unplayable. But it seemed to get better as the mAT progressed.
Almost lost to yumy in single elims because of it as well (lagged much more in the swiss games).

This is one of the few months where a true 'pressure gimmick' won, most often it is won by the best (gimmick) spike or stall way.
I guess that is the main reason why it surprised everyone (including me) that it ended up being that good.

fwiw: up until 1 hour before the mAT we had no plans to use R/A's.

Demigod Heracles · Aug 29, 2009, 11:29 PM // 23:29

I've heard that this match was atrocious but I can't get into GW right now, what happened?

ChopChop · Aug 29, 2009, 11:32 PM // 23:32

All the Euros tried to play Guildwars on burning.
All the Americans knew better.

Nimble Night · Aug 29, 2009, 11:39 PM // 23:39

i mised the match Q_Q
what happened?
//edit
nvm found it, lemme watch

Jensy · Aug 30, 2009, 12:03 AM // 00:03

I... don't know how to describe the match. It looked like a 20 minute game of lava chicken. Followed by 8 minutes of sup collapsing, and Chop Chop bbq-ing the GL.

(yes, lol at my technical descriptions)

Seemed to me that neither side could kill the other effectively, so they just danced around trying to get lord damage...

riktw · Aug 30, 2009, 12:32 AM // 00:32

watched it, yeah thats a good description lol
rawr won becouse of empathy and so.
