Today marks the beginning of a new era of PvP in Guild Wars 2, as the first PvP league has been launched.
Five Friends for a Brawl
Today, on 12/01/2015, the start of the first “new” PvP season in Guild Wars 2 has been proclaimed. Although it sounds formal, the new season aims to allow casual players to achieve success and gradually work their way up the rankings to earn various achievements and items.
Those who wish to participate should grab four of their most talented friends and sign up with them in the Guild Challenge League. The ranking will be determined by an ELO rating, as is typical in this area, and can be viewed anytime on the leaderboard.
The first season will last a total of 7 weeks, providing enough time for all players to secure some of the rewards.
After the season, the top two teams will have the opportunity to rise into the ESL Guild Wars 2 Pro League. There, each of the 8 teams will compete for a prize pool of nearly $200,000, which should significantly increase the incentive for professionals.
