Join the World Beetle Champions League

by The Guild Wars 2 Team on 19th February, 2021

It’s time to crown the fastest roller beetle racer in the world! The Beetle Champions League is bringing together racers—and beetles—from North America and Europe to compete in the first World Cup. You could win rare and valuable prizes, and your beetle will be so proud of you. It’ll probably even do its little dance.

This event is sponsored by ArenaNet Partners Battle Efficiency, Roy, Le Bus Magique, and Keyba along with members of the fantastic Guild Wars 2 community.
