People love video games; that’s a fact. Decades ago, this form of entertainment ceased to be focused on a small group of consumers to be a universal experience. The Global Gaming League was born under this principle.
The gaming industry has grown impressive in recent years, becoming the cradle of hundreds of esports teams, gaming tournaments, and much more. We are not talking about local tournaments but global esports and, of course, billions of dollars at stake.
Who can be part of the Global Gaming League?
The Global Gaming League (GGL for the fam) is a unique gaming entertainment league. It is an initiative that departs from the traditional industry and innovates how gaming leagues are usually created.
The GGL fuses two fundamental principles: anyone can play competitively regardless of experience, age, location, or gender, among others, and any video game platform (PC, gaming console, and others) can be part of the tournaments, regardless of its year of release or gaming genre.
Therefore, the idea is that this league is global and multi-title, and each team belongs to a high-profile celebrity. These teams will be made up of 4 members, a mix of casual gamers, professionals, influencers, and popular personalities.
How can I be part of the Global Gaming League?
As we mentioned, anyone can be part of The Global Gaming League, but to be selected, you must follow a series of steps. The first step is to register on the GGL website.
By doing so, you will be part of the initial draft pool. Then, in your email, you will receive instructions on the next steps to follow, such as participating in gaming competitions. The first event so far is to join a global gaming tournament.
These competitions will have cash prizes of up to $400 for each team and are entirely free. Another way to earn additional points is to be active on GGL’s social networks and their Discord channel, as the personality of each person selected is essential (You should be cool and be a good teammate, and no toxicity is allowed).
As an additional tip, if you are already a streamer, you can share your clips and mentions of GGL with them so you get more attention.
What happens if I get selected?
Once all the events have passed, those selected to be part of these teams will be announced. Although there is no fully confirmed information, for now, everything points to the fact that they will be moved to the GGL campus in Las Vegas, where they will not only be able to train and practice to improve their gaming skills but also receive lessons on personal finance and other topics.
The new participants of the best esports teams will also receive a salary payment for their participation in the teams.
Who are the powerful minds behind the GGL?
The Global Gaming League was created by Clinton Sparks. This entertainment God is not only multifaceted (he has a track record of success in marketing, music, culture, business, finance, entrepreneurship, and more), but he has a special place reserved for video games among his passions.
On the potential that this new chapter in the world of entertainment will have, Sparks assures that “Video gaming is the fastest growing form of entertainment in the world and generates more revenue than the film and music industries combined, with nearly 500 billion in revenue expected by 2028, and has true global appeal. We have created a model that will connect cultures, build international bridges, uplift disadvantaged communities and bridge age gaps.”
He also adds that, “We’re all familiar with massive established leagues like the NBA and MLS to even newly formed leagues like LIV Golf League and Major League PickleBall. These leagues allow aspiring athletes and professional hopefuls an opportunity, something for fans to watch, as well as products to be sold. However, none of these produce the revenue that the gaming industry generates, yet, there is no league for the billions of casual gamers around the world to aspire to become a part of, build a career in, make money, elevate their notoriety, or compete in. And, there certainly isn’t anything in this massive industry that connects to culture, has mainstream relevance, or provides entertainment to the non-endemic gaming community. That is where GGL comes in.”
Another vital figure on The Global Gaming League’s founding staff is Grammy-winning entrepreneur and global cultural icon T-Pain, the Chief Strategy Officer. T-Pain is also known for innovating in the gaming industry, being active on platforms such as Twitch.
T-Pain assures that “The GGL will make gaming a household name like the WWE did for wrestling, and UFC did for mixed martial arts. It’s the fastest growing form of entertainment in the world, and we all game, yet, it’s completely disconnected from mainstream, pop-culture, and the streets. This is what The Global Gaming League is going to change.”
Video Game Tournaments are Global
This Gaming League is not only fueled by passion but by the combined experience of its creators, who will use their expertise to create a complete change in the industry, as the GGL will enter a market at just the right time, when video games are more popular than ever, after all, everybody games.
So, if you are a casual gamer or passionate about any genre of video games, don’t miss this opportunity. The time to sign up to become a new esport star is today. Go to the GGL website, fill out the registration form, and start training with your favorite videogame. Of course, don’t forget to participate in everything the GGL has prepared for you. Tomorrow will be late.
