Our first week of our first annual Winter Tournament is wrapping up as our second week is just starting, and here are the standings.

These tournaments are a great way to get to know one another, and also prospect for club members

Stay tuned for more information on the winter tournament.

The winter tournament is now underway! I expect this tournament to be fun for all the users even the one who did not get to participate. We will be running after tournament contests like, best goal, mvp, and best overall game. These will all be voted on by you and prizes will be sent to the winners. I expect to have many more events like this for the GONG community and I hope next time we have 50+ in our 2v2 tournament!

Thanks and good luck to the winter season tournament participants.
