Qualifying Guilds, an update

Here's some news for qualifying guilds: The Season for qualification is over, and the Top 12 Guilds for each region have been determined. If you're a guild leader or a member of one of those guilds, you'll be interested in reading the addendum to the Guild Wars World Championship Page, which provides information on the next steps you take to get into the Regionals and, with skill and good fortune, perhaps into the Finals in Taipei, Taiwan! The page is linked from the banner at www.guildwars.com, as well.

Please follow the instructions, and contact us via the provided email address if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks to all the guilds who took part in the Ladder Season. Best of luck to those moving on to the Regionals and Finals. And for all players, we just can't wait to tell you about our next event. News on that soon!

....what do you hve in mind about the 2nd event....Wait 2nd event from the World Tournies if you do another one just as cool I can't think of what your doing

ooh another event, I can't wait. C'mon Gaile give us a hint *Wink Wink* you know you love us.

is there somewhere a smurf free and dead guild free list of the top 12 guilds ?

measures were taken to make sure the tournament is smurf-guild-free

I don't have a list, but as far as I know, Nu is dead, and there is no way that BE is entering.

Some day my guild will get this far... you know.. when the top 1500 guilds drop out

to Ignis: Yes i know. Still, if you take a look at the ladder, you'll see "War Machine" and "War Machine International". One of these guilds is obviously a smurf. As i don't know every smurf guild, i was wondering if we'll have access to the list of the top 12 guilds for every territory.
I'm sure ANet is able to detect a smurf, i'm just wondering if we'll have access to a clean list of particpant.

Edit: nevermind, Aria sort of answered the question.

Just go on #gwp on irc and ask. You might get an honest answer -- maybe. Most of those guys probably already have a list all drawn up.

which network is #gwp on? I've only heard of one large Guild Wars related irc channel on QuakeNet.

ps: I can see another Rus Corp devision in top 12 EU list, and they were not eligible for the tournament. so everything's fair there.
