Guild Wars 2: Blog Details New Desert Borderlands WvW Map

Blog Details New Desert Borderlands WvW Map

A new developer blog has been posted by Guild Wars 2 game designer Tyler Bearce. In it, Bearce discusses the new WvW Desert Borderlands map and how it will bring new elements to PvP.

WBC flyweight champion Roman Gonzalez (42-0, 36 KOs) defends his title against Mexican veteran Edgar Sosa (51-8, 30 KOs) on the undercard of the Gennady Golovkin-Willie Monroe Jr. middleweight world title bout on May 16 at The Forum in Inglewood, California.
