Guilds in this article:
The Guild Wars World Championship is coming up! Who do you think will win? Will it be War Machine with their precise strategies? Or will Idiot Savants claim victory with their aggressive offense? Will the specific builds of The Valandor take the title back to Finland?
And don't overlook the runners up, The Last Pride, Treacherous Empire, or Lamer's Ultimate Majority. Every guild fought hard to get to the championship and every one of them is capable of going all the way!
We previously shared some of their winning strategies with you; now let's take a look at the competitors themselves. Here are the members of the European Regional Champion, The Valandor, who will be competing in Taiwan.
