John V Whitman Jr., GGToor President, Chairman and CEO, said, “When I saw the explosive growth in key categories listed in the chart above, I am more convinced than ever GGToor is one of the fastest growing eSports Companies in the world. Looking back just five short months ago and the progress we have made demonstrates three important facts; (1) The Company is drastically undervalued. (2) If this growth trend continues GGToor could be one of the most valuable eSports companies in the world. (3) The explosive growth in recent months is accelerating like a snowball rolling down a steep mountain, it gets bigger, faster and it will soon be unstoppable! Shareholders who have invested early and who are patient should be richly rewarded. Management is working around the clock to build an eSports business that will have no rivals anywhere across the globe.”
This week’s tournament results:
Registration numbers continue to be strong; this week alone, we drew a combined total of over 1,000 player registrations!
Most of our events are exceeding registration expectations; for those few that underperform, we work to form relationships with new Tournament Organizers of the given game aimed at improving results. For example, this week's Super Smash Brothers Ultimate tournament saw registrations more than double from the October numbers. As we continue to expand capacity, we are on track toward our goal of being able to offer 18 different events in December.
For our Pokemon Unite event, TTV entered as the team to beat. On the other side of the bracket, Team Tacchini Volanti showed some skills of their own, prioritizing different objectives and using map control to develop massive leads, which catapulted them past their semi-finals opponent to claim the other seat in the Grand finals.
After TTV took game 1, Volanti made needed adjustments, including swapping Machamp out for Lucario. With a close score, they fell short TTV. Undeterred, Volanti came out strong in game 3, and fans were thrilled with one of the greatest Pokemon Unite matches we have ever broadcast! Volanti grabbed early map control, while TTV was prioritizing farm and Drednaw. As the clock wound down, Volanti was able to secure the Zapdos and push to score, earning a small lead! In the final seconds, TTV's Snorlax was able to score - and the match ended with both teams having the exact same number of points on the scoreboard! The match went to Volanti, winning the tiebreaker - they had scored first! In Game 4, TTV took more control over the map, and once they won a late game team fight, it sealed the deal – TTV earned the title of GGToor Pokemon Unite Champion!
This week's Super Smash Brothers Ultimate tournament offered exciting competition in both 1v1 and 2v2 formats! In the singles tournament, the wildest run of the night may have come from the 3rd place, DN | Morris. Morris was sent to Loser’s Round 2 by Ferps early in the night and fought their way back to earn a rematch in Loser’s Quarter Finals – then exacted revenge, winning the set 3-1 over Ferps! In the winner's bracket, Diamondupree had a fantastic run, making it to the upper bracket Finals dropping only a single game all day. Sho faced off against him next, and managed to take not only a game, but the match! Diamondupree went to the lower bracket and found more wins - earning a rematch against Sho in the Grand Finals. Sho was able to end this second chance, defeating Diamondupree a second time - Congrats to Sho!
The doubles event also had several exciting runs! Toon & EliteG found themselves facing elimination in the Top 8, going to game 5 multiple times! After losing in the first round, BlitzzNY & BlitzLuigy went on to win 7 sets in a row, before finally being stopped by Toon / EliteG. We also saw our singles champion Sho, and their teammate Manzano, earn a top 8 placement. When the dust settled, Toon & EliteG's tenacity won the day; the never-say-die team stayed steady, earning them the top prize!
Passion, motivation, and sheer force of will are part of the recipe for success as you pursue your dreams. Being able to network and develop your skills in a real world capacity can help you advance in eSports, which is an industry built on passion; people strive to succeed because they love doing it. Living your life by someone else’s rules is not really living your life; you need to follow your passion to be happy. The beauty of eSports is that it is so diverse, from the people involved to the variety of professional opportunities available to you, the sky's the limit!
This passion also spills over into the business side of the industry, as the behind the scenes people are just as passionate about developing and improving the industry. We are proud of the opportunities we offer to all the gamers that participate in our events week after week.
