Erstwhile World of Warcraft blog-turned news site Gameriot has interviewed GGL’s Chairman and CEO, Ted Owen, about the upcoming Digital Games competition.
Here’s an excerpt:
GameRiot: You said professional gamers will have a say in basically the event (games, etc.). Will there be a board of advisors, or will that say just simply be feedback?
Ted Owen: To be honest with you, we haven’t really gotten that far. You know, and I know, what the professional gaming community wants to see there, and it’s not going to disappoint with that. I think there might be a plan in place to reach out to the some of the well-respected gaming cultural icons. You know, the Marcus Grahams, who we have on staff, and people outside of that. And we’re going to certainly listen to that. We’re going to probably publish the games that we want on the professional gaming side that we’re going to have people compete in shortly, and if we get some feedback on that and if there’s some huge outcry for some game we’ve left out or shouldn’t have, we’ll respond to that at that point. It’s certainly not going to be without the input of the rest of the world on this.

This week we talk with Scape, Tauren Druid and Undead Warlock of (the guild formerly known as) Ðominion. He chats with us about PvP, PvE, and where he would like to see World of Warcraft go to save some of the players that are becoming frustrated with the path the game is going down.
Hello! Tell us your name and a little about your character, what server you play on, and what you think of your battlegroup.
I play multiple classes; my Druid is Scraped and Warlock is Scape. I started on Archimonde and have migrated to Mug’thol and now to Blackrock. There was not an abundant source of competition on our old battlegroup, which is why we moved. Continued…
