Question for you gamers (not strictly soccer-related)

A few years ago (maybe 6 or 7) there was this 'World Gaming Championships' held somewhere in the US. Top teams (clubs, not national teams) from nations all over the world converged in a 'World Cup' Gamers knock-out competition.

Each team (club) of about 6 gamers had their own top football gamer, martial arts gamer, combat gamer, motor racing and a few other sports. UK sent their 3 top clubs from London, Birmingham and one other place. Each club's gamer was matched against his/her peer of the same gaming specialty from a rival club and won (or lost) points for the team. Initially it was a league and then a knock-out system in later rounds until an eventual winner emerged at the end and were crowned World Champions.

The games were shown on TV and it was brilliant.
I got so absorbed in the competition I couldn't believe it! Apart from football, as a sport nothing has ever got me so excited.

And then suddenly it was gone. Nothing.
Does anyone know anything about this and why it has never happened since? At the time the impression was it would be a regular championship of the world's best gamers.
I cant believe, with the rise of gaming as an industry even bigger than film, this kind of thing has not blossomed into a major wordwide event.

Yes it's still on , you can win up to 100k if you make it all the way, it's called Fifa interactive world cup. You can actually participate by winning your region via the game mode via your console

What Damunk described above is much broader than just FIFA. Sounds interesting and seems like something that would be featured on G4TV

Haha I meant 4-4-2 Diamond

FIFA 16 has given the edge to the defense. It's so much harder to score --for now. I used to thrive on quick counters and through balls in FIFA 15, but it's so much harder to create space now. I had to ditch my classic 4-3-3 offensive formation to a 4-4-3 diamond to revise my strategy. Swift close passing is key in this version. The goalies are so much better too..Gotta place your shots and headers with more pace and accuracy. Oh yeah, the shot calibration is different too. Gotta squeeze more juice to get off an accurate shot now. I was up to Division 3 in online seasons in '15. It's gonna take me a lot longer to get there with '16.

hmmm you dey bribe referee?

[KIZONZO]

I got the game and it feels very different.

Definitely much wider than FIFA.
Football, as popular as it is, was just one of several sports represented. The skill level was out of this world with top gamers from South Korea, the US, Canada, UK & Europe and south America. Na only Africa nor dey represented. They teams were all there live and had their managers. Lots of team psyching too.
It was awesome.

If you beat these guys and need someone to break your leg, you can add me.
My username is Kizonzo,

did you witness my beat down of Luigi? If so I am terribly sorry, I did not want anyone to see that.

Haha i saw you guys play one game yesterday. It was an entertaining game where you won 2-1 . However, why did you guys not have a re-match?

I must admit, i love the option of inviting a 3rd party to watch you play a match. It gives you a different perspective and you can actually pick up a thing or 2 about how certain gamers react to a different scenario.

Add me: bushboy007

andynal09 is my name. I must admit it'll take some practice to get comfortable with the fifa16

[bushboy]

I played 2 games against Kizonzo earlier today. Both Chelsea and Man City were issued bitterness by Watford and Granada respectively. Needless to say, Ighalo and Success were on the score sheet

Good games.
