Interview with the Guilds
Many adventurers have shown impressive performances during the Guild League in March.
We conducted an interview with the Guild Ben for EU (with an astonishing winning rate of 100%) and Ventus for NA (with a total of 308 matches played during March) which both ranked No. 1 on their respective region and also with the Guild NovusOrda for EU and Cotton for NA, who whilst only record mid-tier results, both are consistently enjoying Guild League matches!
Ben (EU)
[Guild: Ben - Advisor QZG]
Q. Your guild is currently in first place in the Guild League with an impressive record of 194 wins for 0 losses, how do you feel about that?
A. A bit disappointing that none is queuing on EU, we made this guild specifically for guild league just to end up running into lower tier guilds or non-organized people. It's very sad that 3/4 of the top guilds on EU don't queue duo to lack of people (they have plenty of members in their guild) or lack of motivation.
We also do Nws/siege as Benice (Ben x Malice), we are focusing a lot on getting stronger in this content. If you think you are a good largescale player with good gear and you don't specifically care about gleague you can still apply for a trial. I wanna clear that out since people think we only handpick and take guild league players. Contacts are : Osk./quizage/_brt for application, quizage for gvgs and diplo, _brt anything else.

Q. Who's in your opinion the most valuable person in your go-to team?
A. Very subjective question, most our players that join Gleague were handpicked people that have gear and are really good so they all pull their weight. It would be a bit unfair to mention someone and not all the other people who are still attending everyday even if there's no opponent.

Q. What time of day do you usually play Guild League?
A. Due to work we usually play guild league starting 7:30pm (CET) during the week and 5pm-8pm (CET) on weekends. Only exception is when we're doing node war. We would love to play during node war / conquest war hours, as this is our most active time, but this time is not allowed right now

Q. What do you like best about Guild League?
A. For us as a guild, we really enjoy guild league as the content is easy and uncomplicated. The regular and event rewards also motivate to play more of it. The event rewards that every player in the guild got were the most interesting for us as a guild, because players that could not participate also benefit.

Q. What content do you enjoy outside of Guild League?
A. We enjoy any challenge the game has to offer, especially node war, Attoraxion and similar as these activities provide a change of pace from grinding. We also love events. Two of our players won 1st places during the 24h event hosted a few months ago.

And now we have to leave, guild league is calling! 😉
General feedback: We love playing guild league, but some matchups are not good. We had a streak of fighting rank 1 for 5 times in a row. We don't have the slightest chance of winning and it is not fun. We know that during that time, not enough guilds have signed up. These games we "play" only to get the losing rewards. We'd rather not have a fight (no match), but still get losing rewards. This could be a general thing: multiple brackets AND ranks difference => no match. And no match => provide losing reward to those that "join" within 2 minutes. When preparing for guild league, it costs money for buffs already. Then having no match is not good. We don't think this can be abused, because if guilds only apply to get these kind of rewards, more guilds apply and more matches happen. And this is what the goal is, isn't it?
Maybe it would make sense to add the German description to the question about recruiting.
Ja, wir suchen aktive Member! Anforderungen...? Wir suchen aktive deutschsprachige Spieler die mindestens einmal die Season abgeschlossen haben, Nodewar interessiert sind und sich mit den Punkten 1-11 identifizieren können
Ventus (NA)
[Guild: Ventus - MelIo]
Q. You lead one of the top Guild League guilds in points, but who in your guild actively drives participation?
A. harrow keeps the discussion going for our long sessions, but others like shag, legion, stonezz, and derken shot calling for matches are critical for participation.

Q. What do you like best about Guild League?
A. Have fun, bang out with our guildies/friends for pure PVP without worrying about objectives outside of teamwork. Being able to look at stats is nice to learn to become better at the game. The rewards are pretty sweet as well.

Q. Who's in your opinion the most valuable person in your go-to team?
A. If I had to name one, it would have to be Deli. He is insane at his class and his ability to murder key players while surviving inside 10+ players is unmatched. We also do have the luxury of having many gamers who becomes the ace player depending on who comes. Notable gamers include but not limited to: Shag_Nasty, Youtube, Cosini, Murxi, Scone, Kyraios.

Q. What are your favorite strategies and tactics to use in Guild League?
A. It depends on what we feel like doing, but it's usually either: "Buff up, full send." or "Absorb push and peel for backline"

Q. What is the secret to your guild's success in Guild League?
A. Have fun. Free-for-all policy for joining. Just queue up and PVP, we don't take it too seriously since we rather have some sort of PVP over not having anything. Also there's not really a real incentive to maintain a good standing on the ladder.

Q. What are your goals of guild league? What are your challenges?
A. Our goal is to have fun and PVP all day everyday while still striving to improve. Some challenges that arise from this are queuing into people who do not share the same goal and take it very competitively to a point they do not even queue to ruin their scores. Sometimes there is nobody to fight and we are left waiting another 30 minutes to hopefully find another guild.

General feedback: For guild league, a lot of people in my guild wish the queues were faster (most matches only last 5-10 mins so its a bit of time to wait ). I'd personally like to see more rewards for guild league maybe crons or something to encourage more guilds to queue up for it
