We’re getting really close to the biggest Guild Ball event of the year.
The Perkins are hosting this great event again, and this year it even got FULL at 32 players. There was word on making space for more than the 32, but not sure about the status on that.
So even though the growth of our beloved game might be slow, we’re absolutely seeing Guild Ball staying alive and getting attention.
This upcoming weekend we’ll get to know who’s arguably world champion of Guild Ball.
It’s not dubbed as the World Championship, and obviously not everyone can attend, but since this is inarguably the biggest GB event in the world, I persist in calling it that because it’s really awesome.

Jamie also showed off a while ago a super nice gift that all attendees are getting:
There was talk about streaming but we haven’t seen any confirmation about that yet. Here’s to hoping that we get some youtube videos that we can watch after the weekend!
We do know that Zilthas is going to attend as Judge tho, which is really awesome.
We’ve also seen the mascot Chester Beeington fly about on social media!
Cute little death wasp dude.
Best of luck with the event, and good luck to all the players!
