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 spotlight: David More

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

GGL’s newest admin, Owens, came up with the concept of spotlight players for our ongoing Warhawk competition, and I am more than willing to oblige. Our player spotlight exists to recognize the achievements and sportsmanship of competitors in the GGL community, and show them some love. First up: David More, also known as SuperGayParade (hmm…).

As the sole leader of Blighted Touch, More scheduled all of the team’s matches to date, steering them to a 34-7 record in the ladder phase of the tournament. This unsung hero of Warhawk is there for teams other than his own, as well, assisting the community whenever possible through our forums.

More and Blighted Touch are set to face off against shadow battalion, while ARMED^ASSASSINS await the winner of the battle. Hats off and good luck to David More!

[WAR!] extends winning streak on GGL Warhawk ladder

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

Wins over Apex and Krypto Kingpins have allowed [WAR!] to stay on top of GGL’s Warhawk ladder with a 23-1 record and 3320 points. The World Assassinz Regime! now holds a 6W streak.

Despite their winning position, [WAR!]’s victory is far from assured. B O O M and Blighted Touch are still hanging around in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively. Many of the teams in the top ten have a good shot at first place–if they’re dedicated.

However, something interesting is happening in 13th place. God’s Illest are zooming up with a 16-1 record, 2580 points and a whopping 13W streak. We’ll keep an eye on this team in the upcoming future.

Registration is still open for the Warhawk tournament, but only for 9 more days (it ends June 29). If you want to join, you’ll need to be a GGL member. Register now to begin.

B O O M top GGL Warhawk ladder

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

The lead has changed numerous times in the ladder phase of GGL’s Warhawk tournament, and now it has passed to B O O M, who hold an impressive 20-4 record, 3080 points, and an 11W streak.

B O O M take over from last week’s leading team, Blighted Touch, who in turn took over from REDBULLS. Blighted Touch actually find themselves in third place behind [WAR!], who defeated them this weekend. This comes despite BT player SuperGayParade (best name ever?) promising me a better fight from BT. For shame!

Despite falling short, Blighted Touch are only 80 points out of first place, and the ladder is far from over. It runs until 6/29, which means there’s still an opportunity to sign up and get some matches played. Mind you, time is running out, but registration is open for the duration of the ladders.

If you want a piece of the competition, hit this registration link to sign up and get started.

GGL’s Warhawk tournament update: Blighted Touch kings of the hill…for now

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

Last week’s Warhawk update saw REDBULLS on top of the heap in the GGL Warhawk tournament, but things have changed since then.

Hungrier opponents feasted on REDBULLS and each other, and now Blighted Touch (17-1, 2660 points, 5W streak) lead the ladder. It’s quite the turnaround, but Blighted Touch is quite the team.

However, as with all ladders, their work isn’t done…and heavy lies the crown. [WAR!] (16-0, 2600, 16W) is only 60 points behind, and aren’t looking to lose any matches at all.

ARMED^ASSASSINS (15-0, 2455, 15W) are also looking strong in third place, while BOOM (can you guys stop using all caps in your names?) are trying to move past 4th with a 13-4 record, 2380 points and a 4W streak.

REDBULLS find themselves at 6th place and sinking. They currently own a 2 game losing streak.

Remember that you can still sign up for this ladder while it’s running until June 29, even though it will be tough to catch the leaders. You will need to be a GGL member to register. Sign up to get started.

GGL’s Warhawk tournament update: Redbulls on top, going down?

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

GGL’s wildly popular Warhawk tournament is almost a week into the ladder stage, with REDBULLS leading at a 1660 point clip. So what’s the problem?

REDBULLS have a six game losing streak, having lost to Amazonians, PeeBubble (candidates for the best team name ever), Tools of Destruction, Murder/Own/Destroy, KRYPTOKINGPINS/Eternal Emanat and Footballguys.

Worse still, the aforementioned Tools of Destruction (1600, 6-1, 2nd place) and Blighted Touch (1580, 6-0, 3rd place) are bringing up the rear with four and two game win streaks, respectively.

It’s a tough field, and unless REDBULLS pick it up, they could lose first place on the ladder. While it wouldn’t be the end of the world (they can still make it back up), once you allow a couple of teams to leapfrog you, it’s just that much harder to get back on top. Continued…
