After April 08 no more Real prizes for GvG Monthlies

[Ranger Nietzsche]

guildwars has ALWAYS been about the Euro at the mid-levels.

Euro players outnumber american players by a LOT and have for a long, long time.


It's the top level that switched around from the Koreans, to the US, to the Euro etc. etc.

If all that was left of baseball were the little leagues, baseball would be pretty dead.

For past year GW has revolved around the euros, but I don't see how that changes the fact that the middle to top tier is dying out. After the last monthly tourney, 3-4 top euro guilds died. About 6 months ago there was still around 20 american guilds that were somewhat competitive. Now there's about 4. The number of competitive euro guilds is also steadily declining. If you haven't noticed it, you're not a very observant person.

Just a kid’s game? Did you know…

An estimated 400,000 spectators watched the Little League
World Series Tournament live.
Corporate sponsorships now run into the TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, rivaling that of professional sports.
An estimated 5 million households watched the 2005 Little League World Series on TV, surpassing the Nielsen ratings for Major League Baseball games airing the same week.

Pretty good for a "dead" sport if you ask me :)

As for your assertion about the decline, do you have a link that we can all take a gander at? Because pretty much at this point all we have is your word.

the fact you have to tell us, even having to use bold characters to convey the shockingness of the information, proves how little
people
care
about
little
league


yue is right

Reading comprehension is key. 400,000 people watching kiddie ball would make it pretty dead.

My word's really all that's necessary for this discussion. If that's not good enough, ask someone else who's not a scrub.

PS: Don't ask someone who's a scrub.

Hmm, I think that people on the whole will still play. My guild/alliance still will, we might not be pushing so hard to get into the top 100 anymore but we will still play.

More like Yue and your lot doesn't care about facts, just your (aotp) opinions

So if there are more people watching little league than major league, based on your logic, major should be of less significance. :)

Yes, right back at you, so is math capabilities. 400,000 speactators + 5 Million household tv watchers and assuming a conservative 2 people per household = (GASP!) 10 million 400k people.
I know of a good optician :)

i like how you use disciplined stance in RA... on evis axe. and i also like how you think return is bad. and nice spamming of buill's strike.

edit::and also how you consider beating my team in RA a show of skill. the paragon had "help me" and the ele was literally standing on top of dissonance the entire match. ntm the lyssa derv is what killed me both times. and did you ntoice when i counted your strikes and used dismiss as you evised? and you just wasted all that adren? that was funny.

Pretty sure there's not 10 million people who would watch little league baseball.

I'm also pretty sure that competitive games revolve around the high end of competition, or there wouldn't even be a point to it. Competition leaves, game is dead. It doesn't matter if there are a few RA scrubs that decide to venture into gvg, the game would still be dead.

i think u have mistaken me for someone else, ive never used disciplined stance in pvp, nor do i spam bulls strike, nor have i fought u in ra
