Ah, what a way to end the North American tourney - with loads of smack talk and a record beating time. Not to mention one great bout (which I managed to get some decent fraps footage of).


Round 1: DraGOneS VS Instinct VS Forbiden

This 3 team battle...well let's not sugarcoat it, it wasn't what anyone wanted. One faction hung back for the first two minutes while the other two whaled on each other.

Winner: Instinct



Round 2: KageBushi VS Tri-Force

Likely the shortest battle of the entire tournament, all of KageBushi's members were gone within probably 17 seconds. Whether through death or disconnection, the world may never know.

Winner: Tri-Force



Round 3: Instinct VS Tri-Force

Now we're talking. This fight lasted a solid 7 minutes, and there wasn't a dull moment throughout. Tri-Force ultimately took it, and I'll be uploading footage in the next few days.

Winner: Tri-Force



Round 4 (Boss Fight): Tri-Force VS Harpy Wraith

Before the fight, I asked Tri-Force if they thought they would defeat Harpy in less than 3:30. Their answer? "Nope". Was it a true lack of confidence or simple modesty? Honestly, probably neither, actually. Maybe they just have a sense of the moment. The battle commenced in a fast yet controlled manner, as if this group knew just how far they would need to push to beat the first-place time.

When the dust settled, the Harpy's crumpled form lay on the area platform, and timekeeper's pocket-watch said "3:10:51"


Grats to Tri-Force for winning the whole thing, and two of you need to start getting your passports in order. We'll be contacting you shortly to see about getting you your visas to go to China!

Thank you all for your participation and enthusiasm in this tournament, and though it certainly wasn't perfect by any measure, I believe it served its purpose - a very strong team will be representing PWI in the world-wide tournament.

Also, a special thank you goes out to the GMs who were instrumental in running these 7 tournaments.

And one more thing-- we've now got ourselves a pretty nice little PvP instance that we can summon mobs in, so you can bet that we'll be using it for more events in the future - who knows, maybe we will be seeing Kun Kun, terror of the Silver Pools, after all..

    Frankie can we have a match between LC and HL?

    A heck of a lot of players want this as 20 seconds is well..... yeah.
    There's also this HL vs LC constant debate, and having Catalyst vs Tri-Force would be pretty cool for many players.

    Seriously would it really be that hard? Next maint create a virtual server or something, would only need a tiny amount of ram and stuff for a small amount of players, and then copy the required characters from their databases to the temp server database and yeah

    I'm sure you guys could figure it out

    20 seconds......
    That's such ****ing bull****

    LOST CITY **** YEAH!


    I knew Triforce would win it. And once again, proving we ARE the best server.


    Though tbh, even though I knew my faction would lose, I'm kinda disappointed it was that fast...

    How is it unfair? The rules for the competition were stated before hand and Lost City did better than Harsh Land...

    ...Pretty simple stuff kid.

    I dont know what you are talking about. In a time trial, 20 seconds is a HUGE difference. Run a race and have the results be 20 seconds apart. See how bad that is. If it had been 5 or less seconds, then MAYBE you could complain, but 20 seconds is pretty definitive of who is better.

    Can we try not to take away from the accomplishment of Tri-Force's team being the PWI Tournament champions? I mean, I know everyone has their issues with the way things were done, but as it stands, the rules were followed, and Tri-Force won. Fair is fair, give them their due.

    I just think that it could have perhaps been done a little better, yes 20 seconds is a long time in a time trial, but on a boss? 20 seconds on a boss doesn't really mean much

    That said, Congratulations LC, I'm sure that you will represent us well and I can't wait to see the video.

    I still want to see a Catalyst vs Tri-Force though even if it doesn't mean anything :) It would be cool

    This part I DO agree with lol. I would love to see a true cross-server PvP championship, or even just random bouts for bragging rights.

    Cross server tournaments wont really show anything. The losing side is just going to say their connection was laggy due to not being in their own server or whatnot.

    Yes but 20 seconds is pretty close.............

    20 seconds is a long time in a time trial. The only people who can really say that their harpy thing went down kinda messed up is DW since a few of them used up the last of their apoth the first time they fought harpy wraith and they had him down to over half health in a single minute the second time he was spawned. Only group that had to fight her twice. And even THEY don't have a right to complain really since they probably still would have lost either way based off the fact that some of them hadn't fought him before and didn't have the proper strategy apoth or no apoth. Triforce won fair and square and fielded the better team. Luck and Skill were on their side. Besides, ultimately they DO represent you. Because we're all on the same version of the game.


    Congratulations Tri-Force. GO KICK SOME BUTT FOR US! Viva la PWI INTERNATIONAL. Take Pictures and upload them on the screenshots forums! And vids!
