Well, you all know the drill. Nobody made this thread yet, so I do.

Post your predictions regarding the upcoming mAT here!

Kindly Moloch

rawr, its the safest bet.

Morgan Crowe · Jul 22, 2008, 12:25 PM // 12:25

Well, I cannot save my predictions, but my guesses:

1) rawr
2) dR
3) sup
4) Baby
5) KMD
6) gwii
7) StS
8) HnS

hmm cant make predictions atm

anyone brave enough to guess 1v1?

around · Jul 22, 2008, 12:44 PM // 12:44

Not if you keep running 6 monks...

Anyway, which Euro guild's turn is it to surprisingly do well this time? mkay, StS or any of the countless other hordes?

Or is rawr going to win again since Nomad's is off rotation?

Moloch Vein · Jul 22, 2008, 12:54 PM // 12:54

How would you rate EW's chances this tournament? I see they have kept playing. I was pretty surprised to see them snatch top8 last AT, and I'd bet on them to do better this time around, maybe.

IMMORTAlMITCH · Jul 22, 2008, 12:57 PM // 12:57

1) Rawr
I don't hope so, but I don't really see anyone beat them in the single elim rounds.

2) dR
They don't play very often, but do well pretty much each month, playing for VoD is gonna be huge this month and dR normally does it well.

3) KMD
Call me arrogant but in my opinion at least we have pretty much dominated the ladder and daily ATs the last week or so, we have our good and not so good days, but I think we can get quite far this time.

4) sup
When they actually play with their normal players they're still one of the best guilds in the game, I did hear that Tale is not going to play though and I'm not sure what's going on (pun intended) with Jenny/Adrian..

Edit: Tale apparently will be playing.

5) StS
StS hasn't been too convincing the last couple of weeks imo, but they seem to lack offensive coordination when Godguard isn't playing and it seems he's back from wherever it is he was.

6) dV
They're doing much better since they realised that VoD is all that matters, I don't think they'll make it to the semis though as a lot of their players (mainly backline) are mediocre at best.

7) Glad
Their players are far from amazing but their play style seems to be quite effective in the current meta, I wonder how well it will work in a mAT though.

8) Baby?
I don't even know if they'll actually play, haven't seen any of their players online for about a week, apart from Scritch, Bounty and Eraziel. Without Rau I'd really doubt they'll even get silver but if he's playing they'll probably make top 8.

9-16)
GWII/HnS
They're doing quite well on ladder and in dATs, but they lack the builds/experience to really do well in a monthly I think, ladder builds generally don't fare too well when winning actually matters.

mkay
Getting top 8 will be difficult without Rau (May) or a weak first round opponent (qE in June) haven't really convinced me on Ladder or in dATs either.

BdV
With a bit of luck, they're simply one of the weakest top 20 guilds, imo.

Shat
More Finns more wins, top 16 shouldn't be too hard, with a lucky draw even top 8 is possible for sure.

StP
Play well one match and terrible the next, not consistent enough to get too far I think, but top 16 shouldn't be too hard.

Nap
They still need a 2nd warrior afaik, not too convincing the last 2 weeks either, but who knows.

EW
Top 16 is pretty much a safe bet, they have potential to make it further (depending on who plays) but they don't seem to do very well at buildwars.

jiggles · Jul 22, 2008, 01:00 PM // 13:00

sup (solong as they find a backline/sublime monks)
rawr
EW
dR (theyve dropped to 4th in my list thanks to ME beating them with rspike)
baby
spnv (why the hell not)
then either sts or glad or qE

CronkTheImpaler · Jul 22, 2008, 02:55 PM // 14:55

hey guys, i got a question and I KNOW this is probably not the spot to put it but im at a loss as to where i should look. ive been reading endlessly about the PvP GvG tournament and i have one question and please dont flame my ass out of here. is there a place to find what the guilds names are in conjunction with the abbreviation. i sit and study the opinions on the xunlai site and i dont know who they are lmao. PLEASE toss me a bone here. then i can actually add to the next thread without feeling like a complete tool.

thanks Cronk

lord of all tyria · Jul 22, 2008, 02:58 PM // 14:58

Best thing to do is the guildwars site, then guild ladder, and you can search for the tag, or the guild name in order to find the other.

That said,

rawr, sup, StS, mkay, EW should be pretty solid picks.

And dR, baby, KMD, HnS, dV, uF?, SpNv?, Me? are also really good.

Zabe · Jul 22, 2008, 09:05 PM // 21:05

Didnt uF just like umm break up pre-GwG Cup?

Uh, I'm gonna save you all some RP's. Don't vote rawr #1, believe me. This is not going to be a good month for us.

I Jonas I · Jul 23, 2008, 05:24 AM // 05:24

You folks at [rawr] never cease to astonish. Don't be surprised if you surprise yourselves. ^^
