This June saw the launch of Play the Gamer, a PS3 and
Xbox 360 competitive live league. Based in various venues all
around the country, Play the Gamer (PTG) is a weekly event that
involves players competing in a FIFA 10, Call of Duty and Need for
Speed tournament. With both regional and national finals, the
league will produce the UK's first ever Play the Gamer UK National
Console Champion.
With 35 million games consoles sold in the UK over the last 10
years, this young industry has developed into one of the most
prominent and contemporary in the world. With other countries
boasting long established leagues, the UK has been calling out for
a console league that searches not just for a game champion but
also a console champion.
Play the Gamer is a 12 week league that offers pubs, bars and
other venues the option of putting on their own games console
league nights. Run by Living it Loving it entertainment
and events company, the league offers exciting gaming nights and
gives players a formatted gaming league. Every venue involved is
guaranteed a minimum of four players at the regionals, where
players battle to find the regional champions; the players who are
good enough to play for the national title.
PTG uses a football game, racing game and fighting game as these
have been voted the top gaming genres in the country. Appealing to
a blend of audience and different gamers is the unique quality that
PTG offers over any individual game tournaments.
The league is searching out the UK's best gamers, the national
titles up for grab are: Fifa 10 UK Gamer Champion,
NFS UK Gamer Champion, COD UK Gamer Champion and
of course, the highest award of all, the first ever UK
National Console Champion.
Play the Gamer is a chance to add a more social and interactive
side to the gaming industry. GAME retail stores are in support of
the league with a player recruitment drive through out all their
stores.
Play the Gamer is not only a great night out for console fans
but also offers a new event option for the UK's struggling
hospitality industry. Play the Gamer moves away from classic pub
entertainment and offers all venues a chance to draw a new audience
from this hugely popular genre.
Living it Loving it put the emphasis on fun, friendly and
affordable entertainment. They offer a selection of exciting
products and services, ranging from trips to the World Series of
Poker in Las Vegas, their Poker in the Pub league to the thrilling
CSI nights. The common denominator in all the events is the aim of
bringing communities and like minded people together.
