CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / February 24, 2016 /
HDS International Corp. and CMG Holdings Group, Inc. (OTC PINK:
HDSI & OTCQB: CMGO): Good Gaming, Inc. ("Good Gaming" or the
"Company"), a majority-owned subsidiary of CMGO, announced today
that its relaunch will be complete in mid- to late March of this
year. With coding now mostly done, Good Gaming and its world-class
publisher alliance partner have agreed to an aggressive tournament
schedule that will take place throughout Spring and Summer
2016.
Nine Tournaments Targeted Near-Term
Good Gaming will launch with a "bang" its load-tested,
fully-automated tournament system, its patent-pending "Mercenary
System," and upgraded learning and entertainment suite, among other
features. The platform will be able to easily handle online
participants of up to 100,000 and provide continuous interaction
with players that reduces wait times between matches. "We believe
this platform makes Good Gaming the owner and operator of the
fastest online tournament platform in the industry," said Don
Wilson, CTO/COO, co-founder and architect of the system.
As part of the relaunch, Good Gaming is pleased to announce that
it has secured nine tournament slots covering at least three
separate titles for global competition (HEARTHSTONE: HEROES OF
WARCRAFT; HEROES OF THE STORM; CALL OF DUTY®: BLACK OPS III). These
titles each have an active user base ranging between 40-100 million
worldwide, setting the stage for dramatic growth of Good Gaming as
a destination site for eSports enthusiasts that play just these
three games alone. The tournaments will commence in April 2016 and
run through August 2016, with detailed dates to be released near
the relaunch next month. "The allocation of these slots by Good
Gaming's global alliance partner well in advance of the
competitions is a significant show of support for our business plan
and promises to generate substantial traffic on our site over the
coming months," said Vik Grover, CEO of Good Gaming. "Further, in
addition to locking in dates with our publisher ally, we are in the
final stages of securing sponsorships from several major companies
to be announced near our relaunch date."
The Mercenary System is a micro transaction-based service that
is designed specifically to meet the unique and future demands of
gamers worldwide. While the Mercenary system will have features on
par with services such as eBay, Amazon and Craig's list, it will
also provide unique and highly sought after tools for gamers to
form competitive teams efficiently, acquire cross channel virtual
items, and access services that currently are not available to the
market. The Mercenary System will allow Good Gaming to monetize the
under-serviced billion-dollar gaming labor market in an exclusive
way, driving significant revenues well into the future and
providing a long-term sustainable competitive advantage. "We are
excited to see how the community uses The Mercenary System in
inventive and creative ways to achieve their gaming goals and value
their goods and services," said Wilson.
Meanwhile, Good Gaming's upgraded learning and entertainment
features will include the following: written eLearning guides,
video tutorials, commentary play-thru's, streams, shout casts,
blogs, critiques, entertainment pieces, creative eSports centered
journalism, and much more on the site.
