Guild Wars 2 news » It’s Time for the World Tournament Series—Boston Finals

Four of the most elite, battle-tested teams from across the world now find themselves gathered in the snow-covered city of Boston, Massachusetts, and tomorrow their skills will be put to the ultimate test in the World Tournament Series Finals, powered by Alienware. Join us tomorrow at the ESL Arena at PAX East or on the Guild Wars 2 Twitch channel as we watch these four teams clash with the ultimate prize in their sights—being immortalized on the World Tournament Series Champion’s Trophy, “The Pride,” and taking home the lion’s share of the $50,000 prize pool. Glory and honor await.

The grand finals are expected to kick off around 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time (UTC-5), but before then we’ll be giving away some Guild Wars 2 swag, hosting the first ever shoutcasted Stronghold exhibition match, and showing an exclusive sneak peek at the new World vs. World Borderlands map coming with the Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™ expansion. Fans are encouraged to join in the festivities all day tomorrow at the ESL Arena, but don’t forget—seating is first-come, first-served!

Finally, even if you can’t make it to the event, you can benefit from the Greater Call of the Mists bonus all weekend long, which grants each player in PvP +200% magic find, +15% PvP rank point gain, and +25% reward track progress. Yes, this is the big one! The Greater Call of the Mists bonus only happens during World Tournament Series events, so this is absolutely the best time to jump into PvP.
