Guild Wars: I Knew I Should Have Learned To Speak Korean

Huh. I'd wondered why War Machine dropped off of this Celestial round's pairings.

Preternatural twisting of the mother tongue achievable only by machine translation or a non-native speaker, aside, this is, um, bad. Basically, it means [Evil] and [WM] have quit Guild Wars. If you don't know who those guilds are, well, in the Great Temple of Balthazar which is where every PvP character rezes in and every character travels to head into most of the various PvP formats (All but the starter low-level Arenas. Oh, and Comp Missions which are located in Cantha, the land of the Factions expansion and, thus, unreachable by PvP characters. Almost forgot about those. But, then again, so have the developers, apparently.) there are two gigantic trophies commemorating the winners of past Championships. Those are the highest of high level competition, the culmination of months of games and preparation from players and developers alike. Guess which names you'll find on those trophies?

Yeah. I'm not normally one for people crowning themselves "legendary champions" but in this case, it's well earned. And, you know, they'll be missed.
