Birmingham Salvo World Champions!

It's over! The boys from the UK have done it, big hurrah to them for showing the Americans that the rest of the world despite not having a full fledged league (NA), the rest of the world are still valid title contenders.

BIRMINGHAM SALVO vs. SAN FRANCISCO OPTX (22 - 15)

Hopefully this will spur the CGS to create more competitive leagues (Asia, UK and Europe) outside of North America thus increasing their global presence.

But for now, Congrats to the Birmingham Salvo! You guys really deserve it

Go coL!

The LA Complexity have officially won their first match of the 2008 CGS Season 2. Congrats Mr. Lake!












The real story though would have to go to the LA Complexity's Dead Or Alive 4: Female player Megan 'belle' Ceder for winning her FIRST official CGS match ever!


This is how it went:

"The permanent underdog, Belle, took on Mystik, as Kokoro and Hayate respectively on Crash Club. Belle began this match similar to the match against Vanessa, winning two quick rounds before Mystik was able to take two of her own, tying the match 2-2. Belle won the fifth round with counters and throws exclusively, before absolutely destroying Mystik in the following round, placing herself at her first Game Point ever in her CGS career. Belle began to get ahead of herself, nearly finishing Mystik before becoming anxious and rushing in to get punished. In the following round, Belle and Mystik fought an unbelievably tight match before Belle finally won her first official CGS match, 5-3."

Congrats to coL and belle for putting up a fantastic fighting spirit and for not giving up even though the play-offs are now out of reach. Nicewan larrrrr~!
