An Epic Battle between Wi and EvIL

May 20, 2006 marks a day that will go down on Guild Wars history as one of the most impressive battles gamers have ever seen.

On the last night before the ladder freeze, most Wi (Black Widow) members have been up for 24 hours straight playing GvG, trying to get a hold of the number 16 rank. Bumped by Nuclear Launch Detected [Nu], they had to defeat a ranked 400 team to regain their foothold. But with literally a minute left to play, they got bumped down again. With a slight twist of fate, Rank Three Plus Pug Deer, who finished at rank 8, were ineligible to for the playoffs because they were too young. Although saddened for Deer, Wi trudged on to come face to face with EvIL (The Last Pride).

First game took place on EvIL’s guild hall of choice, the Frozen Isle. EvIL took the game early on but for the most part it was a deadlock between the two teams. Taking out key players on EvIL’s side Wi emerged victorious at 39:39.

Wi chose the Burning Isle as the guild hall for game number two. Mirroring the first game, EvIL drew first blood killing Lorak in the very first encounter. The game played out to be a battle of the flag stands, with teams engaging mostly at the flag stands.

EvIL held on valiantly but the death penalty racked up. At 21:45, the classic underdog tale materialized as Wi triumphed over EvIL, becoming the biggest upset so far in GWFC history.
