GGLeagues was founded in 2018 with the simple idea that all gamers should get an opportunity to compete at the games that they love. Whether you are looking to go pro, play varsity or just have a good time competing, you have to start your journey somewhere and we built GGLeagues to be that start. Recreational esports is something anyone, anywhere, with any skill level should be able to play in and here at GGLeagues, it’s our mission to make that come true.
