![]() ![]() The basic prerequisites for games to be featured on Gamebattles were online play and popularity. The site became the place where you could compete against the best of the best, when offline events weren’t as frequent and traveling for competitive games even less so. It wasn’t uncommon for top players of the time, such as Walshy and the OGRE twins, to use the site for occasional practice. Games that were also featured on the MLG pro circuit would host online qualifiers through Gamebattles. The site’s affiliation with MLG gave it a special type of credibility while offline tournaments officially hosted by MLG were still where the top dogs competed, Gamebattles was a great training ground for strong players, and the influx of talent meant it was the place to either grow as a player, or to push yourself and try to reach that next level. Originating in 2001, the site became the hub for competitive gamers to duke it out amongst the best players online, with rulesets catered to competitive play. Gamebattles is “the largest online destination for competitive console and PC gaming” per their description.
