I don't have time to look into this extensively, but there was an event in 2008 (just before halfway down): https://web.archive.org/web/2008091403…ldwarsguru.com/
It's referred to as the "Guild Wars Guru GvG Challenge" rather than Guru Cup.
Ah, here we go: https://web.archive.org/web/2008122114…splay.php?f=282
Can't open any threads but you can glean some info by mousing over the links.
Also, a team listing here if that helps: https://web.archive.org/web/2008091409…m/gvg/teams.php
NB: I'm using the wayback machine here because the legacy archive is a snapshot of the forum as it was on shutdown (~June 2016) which won't help if you're looking for links or pages which were inaccessible at that time. Maybe the threads from that subforum were eventually merged into a forum that remained accessible and can therefore be viewed in full on the legacy archive, but I doubt it.

This is a big help! Thanks Marty! - LosDopos on Reddit has been helpeful as well for pulling some resources.
Looking more at this and comparing what I am reading on the Wiki - Was the 2011 Guru Cup just that? I recall mentoring being a huge push as part of that cup as well.
I do recall mentoring being a part of the most recent event. I have little memory of 2008. I think how it worked was that there were a few GvG veterans who elected to teach and eventually participate on a casual tier team (one veteran per team). Teams could nominate what sort of player they wanted, e.g, frontliner. I'm somewhat sure lemming was one, so he could say more and with more certainty.
Also, I think casual teams were limited to one derv and higher tier teams had them banned entirely. Or maybe three for casuals and one for higher tiers.
