$2,000 Call of Duty: World at War weekly roundup
$2,000 CoD:WW Map Pack 1 tournament. Registration OPEN March 19 to May 17.

PS3
If you've been following the Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 1 tournament here on GGL, you'll know that we saw a big shakeup last week.
Unfortunately one of the server chimps in our server room slipped on a banana peel and reset the competition.
Oddly enough, many of the top teams from before the reset have risen close to the top of the heap again. That's good news, data loss notwithstanding. We'll make sure it never happens again, so here are your standings for this week:
