codwaw200Today marks the official launch of GGL’s $2,500 Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 2 Tournament on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Unlike the first tournament, this one actually features $2,500 in cash prizing.

Head on over to GGL’s CoD:WW game page to get started in the tournament.

A few old names are kicking around on the team list right now, with more sure to follow. Hate Us have signed up for a war in the trenches again on the PS3, while I see Gamers United posted on the Xbox 360 ladder waiting for battle.

Stay tuned for match coverage of this tournament as it happens!

Blood Brothers, Sick Kill Zone crowned $25,000 Resistance: Retribution champs

resistance-retribution-200The dust has settled in GGL’s $25,000 Resistance: Retribution competition, and after a flurry of disputes, Blood Brothers (2v2) and Sick Kill Zone (4v4) have come out on top.

Blood Brothers defeated Polonian Resistance 2-1, while Sick Kill Zone swept Professional Skillz 3-0.

For their efforts, each player on the winning teams takes home a Resistance: Retribution prize pack worth $1,4200. That prize pack consists of: Resistance leather bomber jacket, $500 SonyStyle Gift Card, and a PSP TV prize pack (32″ XBR TV, PSP 3000, 16GB PRO Duo and Component AV Cables).

Let’s give all the players a hand for their efforts in two grueling brackets!

GGL $25,000 Resistance: Retribution tournament nears finals

resistance-retribution-200Only nine teams remain in GGL’s $25,000 Resistance: Retribution tournament, and that number is dropping daily.

On the 2v2 side of things, #2 seed s.o.u.l and #7 Q-deathsquad will battle to the death. The winner has the honor of facing off against #3 Blood Brothers, a team that placed consistently at the top of the 2v2 ladder.

At the top of the bracket, #16 Polonian Resistance and #20 7th Sign go head to head. Will seeding decide the outcome or can lower seeds pull off some upsets? Only the 2v2 players can decide that in the coming days, and it will be decided by a razor thin margin.

In 4v4-land, a low-seeded team already exerted its will–and booted out the top seed. 9th-seeded team 4-Play clubbed #1 Six Feet Under, advancing to the 4v4 semi-finals.

Now 4-Play will look #4 Sick Kill Zone in the eye and attempt another upset. Expect violence.

Lastly, #3 FH 4v4 face off against #10 Professional Skillz, who got to the semi-finals by apparently getting a forfeit win over #2 Team Vanguard.

Stay tuned for more updates out of this drama-filled PSP tournament here on GGL!

GGL CoD:WW, Resistance: Retribution ladders end

gglrotator5-26-09-codww-resistance-200

Update: View the Resistance: Retribution brackets here: 2v2 and 4v4.

With $27,000 in prize packs on the line, hardened competitors went to battle on the GGL ladders this weekend to finalize their standing on our Call of Duty: World at War (Xbox 360 and PS3) and Resistance: Retribution (2v2 and 4v4 on PSP) ladders.

The dust is settling now, and we have two #1s from CoD:WW and two first seeds from the R:R competitions. A few administrative tasks need to be sorted out before we can officially declare the winners, but right now LagStars (CoD:WW 360), Hate Us (CoD:WW PS3), ARJUN (R:R 2v2) and Six Feet Under (R:R 4v4) are in control.

Note that the Resistance: Retribution competition will be going into a bracket format with the top teams immediately after ladder winners are verified, so there’s still more action to come.

Congratulations to all the winners!

$25,000 Resistance: Retribution report: May 8

GGL’s  $25,000 Resistance: Retribution tournament is progressing nicely, but can anyone knock ARJUN off the top spot?

Have a look at the stats report below.

Rank Team Points Win/Loss Streak
1 ARJUN 3310 22/10 3W
2 s.o.u.l 2680 14/14 1L
3 Silent Force
2190 12/3 6W
4 Blood Brothers 1660 6/4 1W
5 Gunz-N-Death 1650 7/1 3W

ARJUN keep advancing while other teams scramble to combat them. There may be some hope in the form of Silent Force, who have put together a 6W streak, but things are looking bleak. Gunz-N-Death seem to have lost points from last week, either through declining challenges or forfeiting–but things aren’t looking too great for anyone who isn’t ARJUN right now.

Let’s hope someone can get within 100 points of the ladder leaders and make this interesting soon. The Resistance: Retribution tournament switches over to a bracket format May 24. We’ll update with more information on the tournament soon, but remember: You can still join up and play now. Just follow these links:

Call of Duty: World at War roundup: May 8

codmappack200With each week, we march closer to the May 24 deadline that will conclude our Call of Duty: World at War tournament, featuring $2,000 in custom CoD packs.

Our ladder leaders find themselves in a back and forth king of the hill contest that results in a lot of match play per week. If one team falls behind in the race, it runs the risk of getting knocked way down the rankings.

Let’s have a look at our top fives on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 as of this Friday, with some retrospective. With some luck, we’ll be able to tell where these talented soldiers are going…

ox 360 : PlayStation 3
Rank Team Points Win/Loss Streak : Rank Team Points Win/Loss Streak
1 LagStars 3660 26/4 1W : 1 Hate Us 4380 34/4 10W
2 Bolt Action Killers 3560 24/4 2W : 2 xX_COD GoDz_Xx 4080 30/5 2L
3 CMS STUDS 3250 22/10 6W : 3 BabY faCe KiLLeRs 3385 30/7 1L
4 —T a C t I C s— 2890 19/3 2W : 4 bko 3370 28/6 4W
5 Gamers United 2760 18/7 6W : 5 RAID 3720 25/20 1L

As before, none of the top five-ranked teams are safe from attacks by lower squads. Some other top threats include Alcoholics, Envious and UniversalSoldierCrew, who were knocked from the fifth spot by Gamers United.

Will Lagstars take first place in the tourney? Not if Bolt Action Killers have anything to say about it…

Stay in tune with this tournament (Xbox 360 and PS3) online at GGL!
