Overwatch Competitive Team Tryouts November 30, 2016 | # overwatch We exceeded our expectations for our first shot at competitive Overwatch play, with the 2nd season of UGC. Wrapping up we finished with 2.5 wins and 3 losses, coming up just shy of the playoffs. Momentum is on our side though, as our two wins came on our last matches in convincing fashion. UGC is still working things out for Overwatch so right now all NA teams were in the same division, but we were glad for the opportunity to play teams of different caliber. We want to thank all the eGO members who came out and helped us scrim the past couple of weeks. Before the next season starts we will be looking to add more players to the team officially, as we are hoping to have...

Battlefield 1 Review November 7, 2016 | # battlefield 1, game reviews Official EGO Battlefield 1 Review Within a week of its full launch, Battlefield One has bested the two previous Battlefield titles combined in terms of sales at launch and has placed itself at the number two in best sales this year, bested only by Tom Clancy?s The Division. According to bfstats.com, at peak hours, there was a combined total of 800,000 players online across all platforms. These numbers are expected to rise as EA anticipates to sell well over 15 million copies of the game in the first year.

Last Man Standing – The CS:GO Hit You Need To Play October 25, 2016 Last Man Standing is a unique Counter-Strike: Global Offensive game mode built by EdgeGamers. Now with its own server this is a game mode you need to check out and play. Last Man Standing started off as a run and gun Deathmatch style event. The player with the most kills after 30 minutes would win the event. In 2010, iamevilbear created the server plugin which would revolutionize the traditional Deathmatch event to something new and exclusive to EGO. Players would now compete each round fighting for player kills. Kill a player on the opposing team and you move on to the next round. Not killing another player will eliminate you from the match and move you to...

Rest In Peace Layton ?ProCombat? Means October 23, 2016 Thursday, October 20 EdgeGamers lost a dedicated and passionate Leader. Layton ?ProCombat?

ZALMAN?s K900M Is Our Favorite Gaming Keyboard October 20, 2016 When we first got word of the K900M we we?re extremely excited. After having some quality bonding time, everything we were excited about delivered. Mechanical Kailh Blue key switches feel great when typing and gaming. Color customization leaves you with endless ways to game in style to your liking. The speed of the keyboard is fast as expected ? would you want anything else out of a gaming keyboard? Another neat feature we were raving about was the custom macros which are stored directly on the keyboard. No extra software is necessary and those same macros you use with at home can be taken to the office or a friend?s house. Check out the full specs and write-up from...

No Battlefield 1 Server Admin At Launch ? Here?s What We Want October 19, 2016 In a blog post on the official Battlefield 1 News Discussions, Jeff Braddock outlined further details into the Rent-A-Server program for Battlefield 1. Pricing tier was released showing that a 30 day server rental for Battlefield 1 will run you $42.99. EA/DICE expect to have the system up for the community in November. One of the largest bits of information that community owners were seeking was also teased. However, it was far from detailed and what server owners wanted to hear. Admin features won?t be available on release. Bummer. Unfortunately server owners and communities will have to take a back seat for some time while we wait for those tools to be...
