Getting Started

Ok, so your’e interested in getting into competitive gaming. Before you do anything else go to Gamebattles.com and register! This is the most popular competitive gaming community out there today! With OVER 1million registered and active users it is insanely easy to either join a team or start one up yourself.

Joining or Creating a team

If you have a group of friends that have never played gamebattles before and they want to start up a team I WOULDNT recommend it. Having a team of only new gamebattles users will be insanely difficult to win (trust me… I made this mistake).

So, lets get started. Go to the forums for the game you want to join a team for. Go to the recruiting/free agents section and click new topic. Name the topic, “Looking for Team Ladder” or something to that matter. In the post, explain that your looking for a team, and give some general qualities about yourself. Such as, your age, if your relaxed, etc… DONT POST, your public information such as, your kd ratio, prestige, etc… When I see this stuff and I’m recruiting for my team I immediately stop reading and click the red x. This type of information turns team leaders off because it makes it seem like your only interested in pubs and have never played competitively. After you are finished be sure to bookmark it and check it often. Next go to the free agent section and register. If you do both of these sooner or later you will get team invites.

Becoming good

Don’t expect to join a team and have a good record. My first teams had records of 6-12, 2-8, etc… as you can see, not good. The one thing people do way to much is GIVE UP! If you want to be good at gamebattles and competitive gaming you can’t quit after a few losses. You have to understand that the more you play the more you will learn from your mistakes which will make you better.

Something I see a lot of new gamebattles players doing is not using dead silence/ninja pro. This is a NECESSITY! I would say at least 95% of the Gamebattles community has a headset. Which brings me to my next point on becoming better.

… BUY A HEADSET ASAP! Go to bestbuy and but a pair of Turtle Beaches. This will make a huge difference in your game play. You will be able to hear your enemies coming from all angles, even when they have ninja pro.

Next, if you notice that you are always carrying your team mates (always being on top of the score board by a large margin) find new team mates. Don’t be a jerk about it and call them bad, just explain that your looking to meet some new people. Pretty much just say your finding a new team in a nice way. This way you wont have people talking crap about you to others, giving you a bad name in the community.

Trash Talk

In your first few matches you might get beat prettyyyyy badly… Please dont talk trash, trash talking will only get you bad rep and make you look worse that you really are. The only time trash talk is good, is when a team disputes a match after you kill them. Then go ahead and lay it on ‘em ;) .

Conclusion

Overall, becoming good is not an easy task. Just don’t give up.

If you have any questions or need some advice message me on gamebattles.

Tourney bracket

Author: Dpgfx | Dylan Pearson | Filed under: Articles

Hey guys I ended the voting early since it looked like everyone wanted 2v2 Search and Destroy. Please read everything below!

The way its gonna work is, anyone that has a teammate and wants to play has to send me a friend request the day of the tournament. ONLY ONE FRIEND REQUEST PER 2 PEOPLE! I will invite the first 8 friend requests I get, and then they will invite their partner. IF YOUR PARTNER CANNOT CONNECT TO MY HOST THEIR IS NOTHING I CAN DO and you will not be able to participate in the tournament. Once the 8 teams are in the lobby I will go over the rules, settings, and maps. I will then use a random bracket creator that decides the match-ups. After the match-ups are decided I will kick everyone that isn’t playing in the first match and then start up the map. The loser of that map are eliminated from the tournament and the winner will move on and play later. I then invite the next 2 teams that are to play each other and the same thing will happen. This will continue until the final teams are decided. The championship will be the best of 3! What the prize will be… well I’m still thinking about it. THE ONLY WAY THEIR WILL BE A PRIZE IS IF THEIR IS AT LEAST 8 TEAMS THAT SHOW UP!

*More info*
- Start sending friend requests on saturday at anytime.
- I want the matches to start at 12:00 pm CENTRAL!
- All matches will be recorded and could end up on my youtube channel!
- Check back to this article post often for more updates!

The first Dpgfx.net Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (MW2) tournament has come to an end.

There were 8 teams that entered the tournament and only two teams that showed up the tournament day, making the first match the championship. The first map was search and destroy on Highrise. Windows 7 was our Idea 4-0′d the opposing team with everyone going to positive. The opposing team said they were going to go host the second map and that was the last we saw of them. They were so embarrassed first map that they never sent or accepted any invites. Even if all of the teams would have shown up to the tournament I believe that Windows 7 would have still taken the crown just by seeing the talent they had.

Register and check back soon for information on a 12-18 man free for all roster!
