The 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!
Only 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!
Our Resistance Roundups may as well be called “The ARJUN Report.” With 10 days to go in the $25,000 Resistance: Retribution tournament, ARJUN show no signs of loosening their chokehold on the competition. See below.
| Rank | Team | Points | Win/Loss | Streak |
| 1 | ARJUN | 3790 | 28/13 | 1W |
| 2 | s.o.u.l | 3180 | 18/19 | 1L |
| 3 | Silent Force |
2190 | 12/3 | 6W |
| 4 | Brothers in Arms | 1840 | 7/8 | 1W |
| 5 | oblivion | 1660 | 4/15 | 2L |
The real story this week is that we have two new teams in the top five! BrothersinArms and the Mexio-based oblivion climbed to 4th and 5th, respectively. Great job, and way to secure good positioning for the brackets!
Ultimately, it will take a few willing participants to knock ARJUN out of the first spot (and first bracket seed). We’ll check in with these skilled teams in a couple of days to see if anyone can build the momentum to do it. Until next time…
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!

| Rank | Team | Points | Win/Loss | Streak | : | Rank | Team | Points | Win/Loss | Streak |

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.
Today, April 8, marks the end of the practice ladder period for GGL’s Call of Duty ladders. That means that from here on out, every match is for keeps!

id Software has announced its open beta date for the hotly anticipated Quake Live: Feb. 24.
In preparation for this monumentous occasion, GGL has put up four different ladders where you can test your mettle against the opposition. Here’s the list:
Join the ladders and frag your friends! We’ll see you on the battlefield.
Infected and Survivors are battling it out on our Left 4 Dead ladders, with Anomaly (PC) and Six Feet Under (Xbox 360) in the lead.
On the 360 side, Team Anomaly sport a 2-1 record with a 2W streak, improving after losing their first match. Meanwhile, 6FU sit at a 5-3 record and 1535 points with the wolves nipping at their heels. Brown Eyed Girlz (5-1, 1500, 1L) are coming up right behind them and CIBF are quickly climing the ranks with a 4-0 record and 1400 points.
A number of other teams are clubbing each other from rank 4-6, with Urban Street Fighters (4-1, 1395, 1L) in position to move into the top three.
Meanwhile, in PC-land, the Germany-based gauntlet! L4D Alpha Squad (2-0) are going to attempt to slap down Anomaly.
We’ll keep you updated on this tournament as it moves forward, but remember, you can still sign up for the competition while the ladders are running.
Our Left 4 Dead ladders end Jan. 25, giving you almost two weeks to join and make your way to the top before the switch over to the brackets. To join, visit http://fearisreal.ggl.com and join our PC ladder or Xbox 360 ladder.
Good luck in the competition and try not to get bitten.

Jeremy “Black Mamba” Florence took home gold last night in the SoulCalibur IV Xbox 360 tournament grand final, beating tournament favorite AlexJ in two matches. The match was broadcast on G4’s X-Play.
AlexJ previously blew through the semi-final phase of the tournament, while Black Mamba barely made it to the final–the end result is a huge upset. Watch the finals below.
In the first match of the final, Black Mamba’s Sophitia came from behind to take out Alex J’s Voldo. Mamba took the first round, only to be beaten in the second and third rounds. Not to be put out of the fight so easily, Black Mamba stormed back in the final two rounds to take the first match.
Now, AlexJ’s back was up against the wall. But Black Mamba gave no quarter; he 3-0′d the final match and AlexJ was helpless to stop him.
Congrats to Black Mamba for winning the tournaments, and congrats to all participants!
G4’s X-Play will host the finals of GGL and Namco’s SoulCalibur IV Xbox 360 tournament Wednesday, Dec. 10 at 8:00PM.
Four hardened competitors will go at it for a chance at $5,000 in prizes and glory. Those four players are Jeremy “Black Mamba” Florence, Alex “Alex.J” Jenkins, Chi “CNP” Pham, and Brian “Akazukin Cha Cha” Stone.
Be sure to tune in to G4 on Wednesday at 8:00PM (time unified across NA time zones) to see who wins!
