[s]event[/s]
The Global Gaming League it starting its third version of existence. With a total redesign of the site and added partners the league is really gearing itself up to be a powerful league in the likes of the CPL, MGL, and V-Games; speaking in terms of course of American Leagues and Tournaments. There is a huge press release about the new site design and new partners in their efforts to become a giant league. Here's the full press release:
(Santa Monica, CA) – November 11, 2004 – The Global Gaming League (GGL), the leading competitive video gaming league for gamers of every skill level across all platforms and games, today announced the re-launch of its website, GGL.com. With added functionality and a complete re-design, GGL.com is the most advanced competitive video gaming destination website in the world! The GGL’s global community of gamers (from over 140 countries) come to GGL.com to meet, rank themselves against one another, and compete in First Person Shooter (FPS), Real Time Strategy (RTS), and Sports games, all with a chance to win over $100,000 in cash and prizes!

The newly re-vamped site offers gamers much more than signing up to play in set tournaments. A new media section allows gamers to tune into live match coverage, download match recordings of players, or tune into the weekly consumer gaming show, “Epileptic Gaming”. Expanded statistics are available for all competitions, enabling gamers to track the league leading players and teams across several stat-categories. Gamers can also create, recruit, communicate, and manage their rosters with new powerful team management tools, and can spend credits they earn from playing in official league matches to book time on free practice servers, which are provided by GGL’s server partner, Art of War Central (For more info, see: www.artofwarcentral.com).

In addition to the new website, GGL has added new competitions that appeal to gamers of all genres and platforms, including some new console and sports competitions. GGL and Vibe Magazine’s “Vibe Game Club” offers gamers a contest to win a pimped out 1974 Monte Carlo (courtesy of T.H.U.G Jazz record label), tickets to the Vibe Music Awards, and other great prizes as part of the “Who’s Got Game?” event, featuring Electronic Art's fender-bending thriller, Burnout 3: Takedown for Xbox™. In addition to the new console offerings, GGL features over $20,000 in cash and prizes for new PC-based competitions, including the $10,000 Counter-Strike league, $5,000 Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War ladder, and $2,500 EA FIFA 2005 ladder.

“We’re excited to unveil the third version of GGL.com, undoubtedly the most significant evolutionary leap for our competitive gaming destination to date,” says Jason Carlton, director of Gaming Operations with the GGL. “Besides the innovations to the underlying technology, GGL gamers will notice a ton of tangible entertainment. There are plenty of new competitions to take part in, and the addition of statistics for every competition should also be a big hit with our gamers,” he added.
