PS3 League - Video Cybersports, Contests And Tournaments

Major League Gaming is one of many popular video gaming leagues, though it is one of the few that focuses on a PS3 league. It allows many gamers to put their gaming skill towards a more productive end rather than mere entertainment and distraction. Gaming leagues feature large sums of prize money or items and can be a very lucrative industry for those willing to work a little. Of course, competitors need to beat not only dozens upon dozens of other competitors who've been practicing, but also the reigning champions who make a living from such games. The only requirement from players is that they pay the entry fee, then the rest is up to them.

MLG (Major League Gaming)

Major League Gaming has become one of the biggest leagues for console and personal computer gaming. It provides annual tournaments for up to half a dozen games with the lineup changing to accommodate the latest releases. It was founded in 2002 and has grown to be popular amongst many gamers, both with those who compete, but also with those who just wish to watch the live events and online shows. With both new and old competitors joining the fray regularly, the fans always have someone to root for.

For the most part, MLG utilizes the Playstation 3 console for their gaming, but in some cases, the games have exclusivity on a certain console and cannot be purchased in any other format. In these cases, the game's native console is used. For live events, the participants are provided with all they need to play. Here is the latest lineup of games for MLG.

Games

The Halo series made its debut back with Halo: Combat Evolved, which was used in the earliest MLG tournaments. Today, both Halo 3 and Halo: Reach have their own tournaments featuring four versus four team battles on varying maps. It provides high-intensity, twitch-based gameplay in a first-person shooter (FPS) format. Joining these two games comes the venerable Call of Duty series. Starting off with Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2 is the current Call of Duty game on show. It features similar gameplay to Halo, but in a more realistic setting and somewhat more depth.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Tekken 6 complete the fighting game section, utilizing one on one scenarios. The former game has been around, albeit in an earlier form, since the beginning tournaments and is a favorite of the veterans. Tekken 6 is brand new and hasn't been on show in any form in a MLG tournament before. Marking Blizzard's second outing on the MLG circuit, Starcraft II is also providing the league's first real-time strategy title to mix up the tournaments a little. Starcraft's own past is deeply embedded in the country of Korea, where it's become a fantastically popular game that even has its own television channels. Starcraft II is looking to take up its predecessor's mantle with ease.

Ps3 tournaments have featured the long-running World of Warcraft, Gears of War, Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas and it's sequel, Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2, Shadowrun, Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Super Smash Bros. Melee. Generally competitors don't crossover to different games and only compete within their own tournaments yearly. Next year is likely to see some newer games, including the next Call of Duty: Black Ops.
