GVG - Where the rubber meets the road
So it begins (?) All you new jacks, this is your chance to show and prove. Likewise, this should be right in the wheelhouse of TI, the BHGs,who most certainly will be dry-washing their hands in ...

It is a tough one really, Guild vs guild has been called out for nearly a year, almost all the bigger guilds will likely pair together their strongest players, this will end up leaving a lot of very good players frustrated with being dunked in the 2nd tier guild (or in some cases, 20th tier!), people will then leave those guilds as well, lots of new guilds will form, be kinda chaotic.
Not if it's done right. If there aren't huge differences between prizes for the winning and losing guild and the matchmaking/tiers are done correctly, it could be set up in such a way that it wouldn't "force" people to migrate guilds.
Hopefully, there have been some lessons learned from the AAT (and what that did to guilds) and tournaments (and what that did to player dissatisfaction). If not, than sure, it will be chaos, the forums will burn, guilds will be ripped apart, some people will threaten to quit, dogs and cats will be living together - mass hysteria. Then, after a few weeks, we'll all still be playing. Because Star Wars.
There is absolutely no reason this has to rip guilds apart. A good matchmaking formula will pit guilds of roughly equal power against eachother. Guilds consolidating will just cause them to get paired against other whale heavy guilds. There are so many ways for GvG to go right or wrong, but this is one that should be easy to get right.
Total roster power of all guild members would be a good number to use to pair up guilds. Make it so that when you start a GvG you will randomly get paired with another guild of similar power within a certain margin.
