An Interview With Guild Wars 2's Jon Peters http://www.zam.com/story.html?story=29213 tl;dr We consider it to be one of the primary goals of Guild Wars 2 competitive PvP to make it into an eSport. We plan to have daily tournaments, monthly tourneys and a yearly world championship. Those are focused 5v5 tournaments and are the true replacement for GvG. 8v8 is obviously too big.
