The Evolution of eSportsGG

With eSports Gaming Ground we set out with great ambition to give LAN Gaming Centers around the world a site to build a community, a way to develop competitive elements and to bring something new to the LAN Gaming Scene. Half way through 2009 and eSportsGG is going from strength to strength. The site currently has over 12,600 gamers and over 8.7 million in game frags tracked by the Fusion Stats Package that forms the back bone of the site. These gamers started out in the UK and Ireland but have since started taking part from Sweden, Greece, Cyprus and India. On top of that eSportsGG has seen our first Australian LAN Center take up the stats package bringing gamers from even further afield to the site.

In the USA 4 centers are currently working on getting stats integrated with their centers and in the very near future we are going to see the "North American Stats Ladder" (NASL) Season One come around for centers in the USA to compete over. It is our dream to give any country with a LAN Gaming Center the opportunity to take part in the WSL and we are striving to bring new centers into the fray every day.

In the future we may well see the World Stats Ladder divide up into continental Ladders and even ladders generated for specific countries or chains of Gaming Centers. With continued growth and more centers around the globe starting to take part on the eSportsGG site its easy to see a bright future for competitive LAN Center Gaming. Leagues and Clan Ladders will be held in each continent with the WSL giving clans a chance to find intimate details on all the potential gamers from their local centers.

Forming clans will become easy due to you playing side-by-side with your team every day rather than only getting together a few times a year for LAN Events. Clans will come together in centers to compete against other LAN Center Clans from their continent and then who knows, live finals to find the worlds greatest team at LAN? LAN Centers becoming training grounds for the best in each country? It's not as far away as it may seem.

Through all of this the eSportsGG site will continue to evolve. The current profile system will see tie-ins brought into for social networking and great new clan features so you can find the players you need to complete you team. eSportsGG will have not only one language but like the now well known esl.eu will diversify to have individual interations for each country/continent and within that their own ladders, competitions, events, community aspects and more.

We look forward to growing the site and we hope you all enjoy whats to come too.
