| First Guild Wars World Championship ArenaNet and NCsoft Corporation announced the conclusion of the first Guild Wars World Championship, GWWC, and the crowning of guild The Last Pride, EvIL, from Korea as Guild Wars World Champions. The winning guild defeated five others from around the world during the February 17-19 championship at the Taiwan Game Show in Taipei. The GWWC featured the top six Guild Wars guilds, two each from America, Europe and Korea. These top players survived several months of elimination tournaments staged for the more than one million Guild Wars players worldwide. The battle raged on through the weekend, and on Sunday afternoon The Last Pride guild emerged victorious. They beat out the Korean Regional Champions, the Guild Wars juggernaut War Machine. Players will get their next opportunity to test their mettle as the world tournament season for Guild Wars Factions begins March 7, 2006. The Guild Wars Factions Championship, GWFC, series will feature three seasons of competitive play and tournaments. Each tournament season will consist of four weeks of competitive guild vs. guild play that will culminate with a season-ending tournament for the top 16 guilds. Each guild that makes this final tournament will earn GWFC points as well as in-game and out-of-game prizes. GWFC points can be spent in each guild's attempt to earn one of five available invitations being offered to compete live at the Guild Wars Factions Championship in August 2006. Guild Wars is an online roleplaying game where players explore a fantasy world, acquire skills, build personalized characters, and compete in head-to-head battles with players from around the world. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Game News :: home page |
