G2_Wolf wins Virtual Racing Season!

After a long and grueling competition, G2_Wolf has come out on top of GGL’s Virtual Racing Season, beating NFSxMaster in the finals.

Neither player is a slouch in the game, and NFSxMaster made G2_Wolf earn his 2-1 win.

Thanks to his efforts, G2_Wolf wins a trip to the 2009 Daytona 500! Meanwhile, NFSxMaster wins a trip to one of the 2009 Sprint Cup events. The same goes for the third through tenth place finishers.

Congrats to all competitors for a well-played season!

VRS final four revealed

GGL’s Virtual Racing Season, sponsored by Bosch, has reached its final four stage and only the most grizzled competitors remain.

Let’s have a look at the remaining matchups. Trust me when I tell you that they are comprised of familiar names…

#8 Zsta2k5 vs. #4 G2_Wolf

Two Trackmania titans will collide after carving a swath of destruction through the bracket. Who’s will be the best player on the day they meet?

#19 NFSxMaster vs. #23 KiFireLedius

NFSxMaster has made it this far, but is he ready for KiFire? There’s no telling anymore and all bets are off.

Stay tuned to VRS as we head down the stretch to the finish!

VRS heads to round of eight

GGL’s Virtual Racing Season has whittled down its competitors to the elite eight phase, with most of the big names remaining in the field. At the end, there can be only one, but for now, here are our remaining matchups:

#1 eMJay0910 vs. #5 Zsta2k5

eMJay has lived up to his #1 seed in making it this far, while zsta has also 3-0′d all of his opponents to reach this point. I’m calling it a toss up…we’ll see.

#5 XIG Big j632 vs. #4 G2_Wolf

I’ll put $100 on G2_Wolf. Any takers?

#30 T3mpr1x vs. #11 Polas

Polas already advanced to the final four after winning this match, so, I’ll predict a win for him! Way to get it done early, though…

#23 KiFireLedius vs #15 willy456

The multigaming master has advanced to face…who is willy456? Is he a dark horse contender or a pretender? We’ll find out on this edition of…As the VRS Turns!

VRS final bracket hits sweet sixteen phase

The final bracket of GGL’s Virtual Racing season, sponsored by Bosch, has entered its sweet sixteen phase.

Much of the first round consisted of byes, and the second round weeded out some of the playing field.

Note: Trackmania Nations Forever is the game for this bracket, but some players progressed from brackets that used different games. That means the TMNF players are at a huge advantage in these matchups. Here’s the list:

#1 eMjay0910 vs. #16 Racefan

eMjay got here though the Forza 2 ladder, while Racefan took a more traditional TMNF-based route. The smart money would be on Racefan, but eMjay already knocked off #33 franklinsoto to get to this point. This could be anyone’s race to win.

#9 DigitalShot vs. #8 Zsta2k5

Zsta2k5 is a talented multigamer who has competed in many titles, while DigitalShot made his way through the TMNF ladders to get to this stage. Once again, we have a potentially close match that I can’t call.
