If you have been closely following GGL’s Warhawk tournament, you would know that the semifinal matches between Gods Illest, [WAR!], (ONI) and ARMED^ASSASSINS went down this weekend. However, instead of waiting a few days to schedule the finals, the victors, first-seeded [WAR!] and tenth ARMED^ASSASSINS, decided to play their finals match this weekend.

The end result? An upset by ARMED^ASSASSINS to knock off [WAR!] and take the championship!

AA take home 16 Warhawk Limited Edition Statues, as well as the in-game Champion’s Blade reward for their efforts. Who says players don’t play for bragging rights anymore?

All participating teams will take home the GGL Ceremonial Knife in-game reward. Shanks for coming out!

Congrats to AA and all participating teams for their hard-fought battles.

Filed under: , , , , , , , , , , ,

GGL’s Warhawk tournament has come down to the semi-finals! Only four teams are still alive in the bracket phase, with #1 [WAR!] set to take on #4 Gods Illest and #27 (ONI) facing off against #10 ARMED^ASSASSINS.

These four teams have fought long and hard to reach this point in the tournament, so it’s an accomplishment regardless of  who advances from this stage. Good work, guys!

The two matches are set for July 25 at 21:00 ET. Now, it’s up to these four teams to decide the finalists of this exciting competition.

Stay tuned for more updates as we get them.

GGL’s Warhawk tournament: Only eight teams remain!

Filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

The countdown to extinction is reaching a fevered pitch in GGL’s Warhawk tournament, as only eight teams remain in the entire tournament.

These tough cookies are the result of a whittling down process that included nearly 100 teams. Let’s meet the survivalists and hear their stories!

#1 seed [WAR!] has rolled through the bracket, true to their seed. They will face off against #9 Lock’N'Load, who undoubtedly face a strong challenge. L’N'L dropped a higher seed, 1FG, to get this far, so an upset isn’t beyond them. Still, we’re talking about the #1 seed. We’ll see if they can make it happen…

#4 God’s Illest will battle #12 Bomb Squad Kittens in a match where it seems they are already anticipating controversy. BSK’s bucket415 is already demanding a referee be present for the match, and he has also unilaterally disallowed video recording of the match because he claims it induces lag. I suppose the admins will have to handle it!  Continued…

GGL Warhawk brackets head to second round

Filed under: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Nearly one week has passed since GGL’s Warhawk tournament switched over from ladder to bracket play. While many valiant competitors were cut down in the switchover, 32 amazing teams made it to the bracket.

Now, 10 of 16 matches from the first round are complete, and it’s time to see who is making the cut…

It should surprise no one that #1 seed [WAR!] eliminated #32 Black Brigade. No disrespect to BB, but [WAR!] are first seed for a good reason. However, a large number of upsets took place toward the bottom of the bracket, showing that ladder seeds aren’t the end-all-be-all of skill.

#20 United Gaming Army took out #13 82nd Airborne Assault. Likewise, #27 (ONI) K.O’d #6 APEX and #22 /7 smashed #11 REDBULLS, who were at one point actually leading the ladder.

Last, but certainly not least, #18 shadow battalion upset #15 Wraith Swat Division to advance in the brackets. Aside from these matches, the higher seed won, which isn’t unexpected.

Several matches have yet to take place, as well. BOOM (#5) are set to take on #28 Agents of Kush, and the rumor is that the teams are already anticipating the need for an admin to be present for the match. Bomb Squad Kittens await the SlaPaHo Tribe, Known Outlaws will take on ICU, KRYPTO KINGPINS will battle Strategic Assassins, and ARMED^ASSASSINS will fight Syndicate.

More news as we get it!
