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!
Less than 10 days remain in GGL’s Call of Duty: World at War Map Pack 1 tournament. With $2,000 in prizes on the line and the competition down to the wire, each team is looking to crush as many poor souls as possible in the ladder grind. Let’s take a look at the current top 5s for both ladders!
Since our last update, Hate Us have gone on a monstrous tear to preserve their place on top of the PS3 ladder. It’s not without good reason, either: CoD GoDz are hot on their heels after having put together a 42/7 record and 3W streak themselves.
On the 360 side, Lagstars are barely holding on vs. Bolt Action Killers and it seems that a leapfrog could happen at any moment–especially given the 8W streak that BAK is building up. CMS STUDS and the teams below will have to string together a huge winning streak to capture first at this rate.
Keep your eyes peeled for more updates out of this tournament as they happen. I have a feeling the real drama will be between Hate Us and CoD GoDz.
With 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…
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!
With two weeks remaining in GGL’s Call of Duty: World at War tournament, the top teams are fighting hard to establish a pecking order and get their hands on our CoD prizing.
Right now a fierce battle is occurring between LagStars and Bolt Action Killers for first place on the Xbox 360 ladder, while Hate Us and CoD GoDz duke it out on the PS3 side. Let’s have a look at our top five teams for both ladders and speculate on where this is going…
None of the first-ranked teams are safe for the time being, as they can get leapfrogged fairly easily by lower squads. Teams hovering around the top five include Envious, Alcoholics and Gamers United (360), as well as former ladder leaders Rapesauce, Gamers with Attitude and PLUMBERZ (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:
Tactics and Bolt Action Killers are tied for the lead on the Xbox 360 ladder. These guys have been going at it for a couple of weeks now but are playing lower ranked teams to maintain their standings. Man up and play. This isn’t a “feast on lower ranked teams for prizes” ladder.
On the PS3 side of things, Rapesauce continue to hold first place but face a strong challenge from newcomers COD Godz.
We’ll keep an eye on the tournament as it progresses and these hardened competitors battle it out for supremacy and prizes.
Remember that you can still sign up for both ladders at the Call of Duty game page. Get to competing!

The dust has settled in our Call of Duty: World at War bracket, with Team FeaR defeating 3rd_Degree 2-1 in the final.
FeaR’s run to the trophy seemed as improbable as could be; coming into the bracket, they held the 16th seed owing to a late start in the ladder qualifier.
Once again, ladder or no ladder, the best team came out on top. In single elimination, the “any given Sunday” mentality reigns supreme.
For their trouble, FeaR win four $300 GameStop gift cards (worth a total of $1,200). 3rd_Degree win four $150 GameStop gift cards ($600).
Congrats to all competitors!
Four teams have soldiered through the battlefield in our BAGL Call of Duty World at War competition to be the last men standing. Who will be victorious out from this final four stage? Let’s examine the matchups.
.:: TeaM FeaR ::. vs. Z-Hour
FeaR stormed onto the ladder scene late with a huge run, ending in a 10-1 record. These guys are clearly serious about their gaming and will test their mettle against another latecomer in Z-Hour (who also sported a 10-1 record at the end of the ladder). It just goes to show that even if you grind up to first place in the ladder, it doesn’t guarantee a run in single-elim land when we switch to brackets.
This matchup is too close to call, as neither team appears to have a record advantage. Admins will be on hand for this match, so keep it clean, and may the best team win!
Team cAv vs. 3rd_Degree
On the opposite end of the bracket, two ladder owners will face off. cAv (18-13 ladder record) and 3rd_Degree (13-5) rivaled each other in 2nd and 3rd place, respectively, during the ladder phase. Now they’ll finally settle the matter once and for all to see who has the better team.
Once again, admins will be spectating, so don’t even think about glitching or giving us any roster troubles.
Stay tuned for more updates as we get down to the finals in this competition! Good luck to all competitors!
With only one week remaining in the BAGL Call of Duty: World at War bracket, the field of play has been whittled down to eight teams. Many brave soldiers were crushed under their tank treads, so here are the remaining matchups:
#9 [TeAm MuRda] vs. .:: TeaM FeaR ::.
#4 The Mormon Ballers vs. #12 Z-Hour
#3 3rd_Degree vs. #11 SlitherySquad
#2 Team cAv vs. #7 Cryptic Heroes
Stay tuned for updates from the front lines as we get them!
