i believe this will be on the /guildwars2 twitch like all the other Ready Up casts

That blog sounded really cool, everyone can play how they like but how many players this will allow? I am hoping at least 7, since they put up 7 roles. I guess we'll find out Friday.

Trebuchet makes me extremely sad though, the pinnacle of esports is holding a button down and just rekking everything in a large AoE radius amirite gaiz?

If the trebuchet is anything like the one in GW1 GvG, then it is a perfectly fine idea. If it is like the GW2 version, I am not a fan.

The trebuchet can play a huge role in GW1 GvG matches. Involved body blocking and perfect timing when an enemy is pushing or retreating. Matches have flipped solely because of a well timed trebuchet. But the great is that the GW1 version is barely touched. There are most games it isn't even considered in to the match.

Either way, I am curious about the details that get released from the stream as it will help decide whether or not I decide to play competitively in it.

I don't expect it to be close to GW1. However if it has more closeness to the HoN/LoL/DotA scene, then that could help its case.

this is what i'm thinking... LANEZ

New race confirmed?

agreed.

i would love for gw2 to bring back body blocking to pvp as well.

I personally didn't like the thought of having these stronghold matches "Last as long as a conquest match", and having them in the same queue as conquest, but maybe we'll see otherwise on the stream
