War Machine Walks Away With $50,000, Fame and Adulation

NCsoft Europe and ArenaNet, developer of the award-winning online role-playing game Guild Wars, are extremely pleased to announce that on Saturday 26th August War Machine of Korea was crowned Guild Wars Factions World Champion, walking away with $50,000 of the $100,000 prize money, bringing War Machine's total earnings in the last three months up to $75,000. Runners up Idiot Savants of America also took home a healthy $25,000.

The Guild Wars Factions World Championship saw the return of five guilds from the Guild Wars World Championship which took place in Taiwan earlier this year, as well as a sixth open-invitational qualifier. These top players participated in a highly-competitive three-month series earlier this year, and earned their much sought after seats by rising to the top of hundreds of thousands of competitors from around the world.

This momentous event has firmly established Guild Wars' place in the focused world of e-sports, deservedly taking its place alongside the firmly entrenched Real Time Strategy (RTS) and First Person Shooter (FPS) genres as a completely new type of competitive computer game.

Guild Wars Nightfall is the next campaign in the wildly successful and critically acclaimed Guild Wars series. Guild Wars is an online role-playing game where players explore a rich fantasy world, acquire skills, build personalised characters, and compete in head-to-head battles with players from around the world. ArenaNet attributes the success of Guild Wars to compelling game design, innovative technology that offers a unique online game play experience and a revolutionary business model with no monthly subscription fees charged to users.
