The World Tournament Series is an opportunity for elite Guild Wars 2 players to test
their mettle on an international stage – with four teams from three different regions all
fighting for the lion’s share of the $50,000 prize pool.
In the World Tournament Series Invitational Qualifier, the top eight teams from each
region will be trying to cash in on the blood, sweat, and tears they’ve put into becoming
some of the most skilled Guild Wars 2 players – with the first place team going on to
represent their home region at the World Tournament Series Championships in Beijing, China
in December.
The road to victory will be long and hard-fought. Many teams will fall. Those who rise will be immortalized.
North America vs. Europe vs. China – who do you stand behind?

The battle for the top spot in the North American and European World Tournament Series Invitational Qualifiers is now over and the dust has settled. Two months ago, we saw hundreds of teams step into the arena. Today, only one North American and one European team remain standing.
Citizens of Tyria, join the Guild Wars 2 team in congratulating your champions!
Representing Europe: The Civilized Gentlemen
An undisputed European titan, the Civilized Gentlemen never fail to impress. During last weekend’s qualifier, they played in some of the most memorable tournament games ever seen in Guild Wars 2. We’re expecting to see more of the same from these guys at the Finals in Beijing – precise strategy with lethal execution.

Representing North America: The Abjured
Heavily favored to take the North American Invitational Qualifier, the Abjured showed up on Sunday in full force, taking the final series against the The Uncivilized Rough Boys in a 3-0 sweep. Can the Abjured help bring the first international tournament win back for North America, or will Europe take their third consecutive event?
