guildwars2.comI would like to watch the Champion of EU battle the Champion of NA. It would be our Guild Wars 2 SuperBowl I.

Last time that happened NA got curb stomped from EU's #2 team. PAX.

Why is NA bad? In the official forums, EU jeers NA for their lack of "meta".

All the "hardcore" NA PvP players left for other games early after GW2's release. I guess that didn't happen as severely on the EU side.

Ah. Good to know. Make sense since I've noticed that in esports the hierarchy goes like this: KR > EU > NA.

Good luck to Team Starfleet Dental, world's premier PvX gaming community and holders of numerous world first accolades!

What I don't get is GW1 held tons of tournaments with real, significant cash prizes. They were doing this as far back as 2005-2006. Why isn't GW2 doing the same thing?
1
Because gw1 PvP was well establish compared to whatever this is.

REALLY?!

Really wish anet would stop with this esport push. It continues to hinder game play (water combat for example slowly being removed from the game) please anet just go back to trying to be unique.

Cept it's PvP which is supposed to be competitive otherwise many people don't give a single fuck really.

While I too ridicule anet for their esports wishes, I would argue that doing things for the sake of being different has also hindered this games progress. I love that anet wants to do things "their" way. Its was makes the game what it is, but over the past 2 years I've seen it hurt more than do good.

I'd rather have a game try something different and not do it perfectly than be generic as hell.

I'd rather a game try something different and do it well than try something different in a half-assed way.

I am going to go ahead and assume that you mean "wow clone" when you use generic. As I said, anet doing things to be different is what made Guild Wars, Guild Wars, and not a wow clone. Since launch, this is where my comment begins to apply, they have made additions and changes to systems, and let some remain the way they are, for the sake of being different. Therefore, I would rather Anet look outside their building and take a good look at what great things other games have done, and apply them to the game rather than take something, mash it to bits, and refurbish it as they would rather it be.
