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!
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.
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!
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!
In the ladder phase of GGL’s Resistance: Retribution tournament, the field of play consists of rough and ready regulars. While many of the teams in the top 64 are in no danger of losing their spots, some skirmishes are still taking place around the top five. We’ll list them out for you here and see what’s in store for these teams in the future:
2v2 owners ARJUN have held the lead so long, I’m starting to forget that anyone else could be in first place. Meanwhile, s.o.u.l snatched the #2 spot from S1lent F0rce and BrothersinArms knocked Retribution out of spot five.
Does the first seed mean enough to go to war over before the brackets start? We’ll keep you updated on the happenings as we roll over. With $25,000 in Sony prizes on the line, teams are sure to be playing for keeps.
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!
