Q: What if a guild member goes AFK/offline/leaves the guild/gets a phone call in the middle of the match?
A: If they leave during the active BG battle, it will be harder for your team to win since they will no longer be taking part in the battles unless they come back. However, if they set a strong defense team, it will be alright.

Q: Why 3v3? What happens with 25th guildie?
A: Battleground rules will change from season to season and in some seasons we’ll have 2v2 or 4v4 Battlegrounds.

It is also highly unlikely that all 25 guild members will be online at the same time and no one goes AFK.
