Two Golds for Straight Outta Kamadan!
7 May 2009, 7:54 pm
Straight Outta Kamadan [KMD] takes their second win during the April MAT for the second month in a row! In the finals, KMD defeated History Repeats Itself [Cry], a newly formed guild this month. The match was exciting as both teams tried to spike the other team out. In the end it was a decisive victory for KMD. Rebel Rising, playing on their secondary guild Rebel Rising Extended Edition [rawr], took 10th place and earned their second silver trim.
Our Cape Count has been updated to reflect the new results. We look forward to the excitement of the May Monthly!

A big congratulations to Straight Outta Kamadan [KMD] for winning their first gold trim in the March Monthly AT! Playing almost non-stop, KMD has always been a strong competitor by steadily coming in top 16 for the past 8 months. The final game was matched up againstDangerous Pumpkins [dP] who currently holds a 7 silvers and 2 bronze capes in their record. When the match began there was no time wasted and KMD immediately showed off their strength by spiking quick kills on dP's players. dP fell quickly and KMD finished off their lord in under ten minutes. Congrats to both teams! All the final standings have been updated to our Cape Count.
In other news, we're all anxiously waiting for April's game update! Seeing how this month is Guild Wars's 4th anniversary, we're all expecting Anet to do something extraordinary in order to celebrate the occasion. Happy Birthday this month Anet!

Congratulations to Rebel Rising [rawr] for once again walking away with gold by finishing first in the February Monthly Tournament! This month's final was against Seppo Hovi Action Team [Shat], a guild well known for running a modified version of [rawr]'s classic build. [rawr] pulled out a different build for the finals, something they have not done in many months. The gamble paid off and [rawr] beat down [Shat] using hexes and pressure. This month's win will put [rawr]'s total number of gold capes to a nice round 10; for [Shat] this will be their 2nd silver cape. Congratulations to both teams for a well played game!
[rawr] will be releasing recrodings of ventrillo within the next week. Be sure to keep an eye out for them on our archives.

February kicks off with a lot of changes. With the new update this past Thursday, there has been both good and bad news all around. This month's skill update brought hard nerfs to hexes such as Faintheartedness and Suffering. Three of the elite skills originally buffed back in December got hit, as well as the popular Signet of Humility. We expect the meta to shift in order to accomdate these changes.
Friday brought sad news for Rebel Rising [rawr] and Survival Rate [zero]. After creating an intentional draw during the last swiss round of the January Monthly, both guilds had their cape trim removed. For [rawr], their gold trim will be removed for one month. This will be the first time [rawr] has been without a gold trim since August 2007. Good thing [rawr] had their party last weekend!
On a better note, the new everlasting tonic has been released! This month pays tribute to the mighty Charr. This new Searing Tonic transforms your character into a Charr that has an uncanny resemblance to Pyre Fierceshot. The "/sit" animation you ask? It makes you lunge forward. Kinda cool.

Answer: Rebel Rising [rawr]. That's right they've done it again! Today, January the 24th, [rawr] faced She Left With Half My [GeAr] in the final battle for the gold trim during the January Monthly AT. Both [GeAr] and [rawr] had amazing flaggers - guess it must run in the family, eh? That's right, for those who didn't know, Torsen from [rawr] and Yar from [GeAr] are brothers! Who knew !? Now you might think that there would be some yelling and rivalry between the two of them, but it's been said it was really one of the first times their guilds fought competitively. We wish [GeAr] the best of luck in future battles :)
This monthly consisted of a lot of new guilds with old players. The results will definitely be something talked about for a long time to come. Congratulations to [rawr] and all the guilds that participated in the monthly AT!
