Here's the official blog post about this new game mode :

Looks kinda MOBA-ish, but still interesting.

I've got my fingers crossed for this one. GW2 has turned me on to PvP. The trouble is that the capture point system used in their current sPvP seems to de-emphasize combat IMO. That's why I spend so much time solo roaming WvW. It's the best way to find good 1v1 and 1v2 fights.

I discovered over the weekend that not all sPvP maps are capture point maps. ANet added Courtyard last year, which is s death match with no objectives other than player combat. It shares the same queue s all the other maps, so you can't select to play it. Before the match starts, the players get to vote on maps.

 

The new Stronghold will also be using the same queue.
