XGL Community,

We know all of you have been waiting to see what is happening with the league considering the slow downs as well as the extremely low server uptime we have faced all season. This note will tell you what has been decided for our future.

The XGL took the Indian online CS/gaming scene as it was back in 2008 and had a vision to bring active, fun and healthy competitive gaming to the country. We started small and were proudly supported by V-Street for servers and prizes. Hundreds of hours of effort was put in by myself and our admins all from our free time away from work and other things in life.

Over the seasons we faced multiple challenges which you old schoolers will remember. Some of these included website hack issues, server lag, server downtime (for months at a time), lack of scheduling flexibility by some teams and inactivity. We attempted to partner with other gaming organizations in India all of whom made hollow promises. We put in controls and backups in place as much as we possibly could to minimize the effect of these issues on the league and your enjoyability; things such as backup game servers, the forfeit system, bringing in wait-listed teams in the middle of the season to keep it going and so on and so forth.

We achieved our mission of bringing active, healthy and fun competitive gaming to India. However, it was short-lived. Despite our best efforts and continued patience, we are compelled to discontinue the XGL. There may be many reasons for this, some may be at fault and so may we. Either way, we appreciate all the support you the community and our partners have given to us. I'd like to say thank you all on behalf of the XGL team and wish you all the best in your future, in-game and out.


Cheers and Goodbye.

Season 3 CS 1.6 Open - Playoff seeds:



Please proceed to schedule your respective matches. The quarter-finals will begin on Friday the 15th of Jan. so please finish your matches before then!

Good luck!

Wishing you all a very happy new year 2010!

May your resolutions include enhancing your ability to frag faces and blow sh1t up (in-game only ofcourse).

The playoffs for season 3 will begin within a few days! Stay tuned!!

We apologize for the delay in beginning the playoffs. We are currently ironing out a cheating issue.

DreamHack from team MGA has been caught wall-hacking and will be banned shortly. The fate of team MGA is currently under review and the decision will be announced by tomorrow night.

Following that, we will release the brackets for the playoffs. Until then, enjoy the festive season :)

We're happy to announce that both the XGL servers are now back online and ready for use for all XGL matches. We would like to sincerely thank Adarsh "showstopper" from the VS Admin team who made this possible.

Now that the servers are back, we would really like to see off the slack displayed by the teams still participating in the League [especially from Main Division].We were not able to impose a final date to end all round matches due to lack of servers. However, some teams have taken care of servers and matches by themselves and that is very commendable. We have also noticed some teams being intermittently active.If your team is not interested to play in the League, you might as well let us know about it rather than waste the time of the other active teams. It is also delaying the schedule of Season 3.

Please note that this weekend will be the closing date for all Open Division matches while the Main Division has until next weekend to report all matches.

Cheers!
