Dainank.1308 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Hello!I was wondering if there is a competitive pro league which streams games or does that not exist? Are there community tournaments? If so, who usually broadcasts them?Many thanks, Dainank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math.5123 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 The UGO and mATs are the last part of "competetive" play in this game. The UGO gets casted by Jebro, the mAT's gets casted by a variaty of streamers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrubySzymek.1362 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Official pro league is dead. You need to look for community made tournaments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dainank.1308 Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 I noticed Wooden Potatoes was streaming some kind of tournament the other day on his stream. What exactly was that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.9387 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 There is effectively no competitive scene left in gw2. Search for vods from ESL games way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeL.8260 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Jawgeous is making EU Automated Tournament comentaries, most matches are in 1700 - 1800 ranks so it's currently the highest level of play you can see. You can get a clear idea of what the current meta is and what the most common mistakes are, those commentaries can easily be considered general guides to PvP.'Cause sadly the PvP forums are completely useless nowadays, all people do here is whine about how op Mesmer is and never look past their noses.

Lordrosicky.5813 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 Everybody with any talent for gaming left gw2 shortly after its release because the game lacked so much infrastrucutre and was short on skill. The talented people went to LOL, dota, overwatch, etc. So there is nothing even close to pro play on gw2, never has been. Check any vods of players playing and even the "best" players make an insane number of errors. Like really basic errors like just wasting dodges between combat.

Swagg.9236 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 GW2 pro play is sort of pathetic given what GW2 is as a game fundamentally. It only got into ESL (for an anemic stint before dying) because anet paid its own way in; it's not as if crowds of investors or advertisers were waiting to fund and cash in on the non-existent GW2 ESPORTS wave.

There wasn't really any form of excitement and enthusiasm present :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother.1504 Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 All balance issues aside. The game is fun to play spvp. The main issue for esports and gw2 is the visual clutter. Most fights end up looking like an explosion of movement and color for the spectator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of developing PvP properly and waiting for competitive scene to grow, they forced whole esport meme, paying pro players to participate, trying to create an atmosphere for high end tournaments. The dream was quickly destroyed as there was no community to support the events and PvP in general had no infrastructure for serious esports.
