you can expect popular game titles like Modern Warfare 2, Team Fortress 2, and Counter-Strike

*incoming huge amount of flame*
also, AGP hasnt done anything actually useful for the community so far, so when will you start doing stuff instead of posting youtube videos with horrible quality of matches from 10 years ago that everybody has already seen and nobody cares about?

So... the AGP follows the advice of some of the less trolly posts on ESR, while at the same time destroying any possible semblance (present or future) of a professional gaming league.

if you're looking for optimism you've come to the wrong place.

you will get your pat on the back if and when you actually produce something of value.

You might be doing astonishing, amazing, wonderful, orgasmic things. But you might want to consider changing the name, because AGP has a lot of flame attached to it.

The post doesn't list any names for the new management. I can't even find this news on their website. Not a good start, new management!

This is a bad move really, it might give the impressionthat the AGP is growing and improving its activities but its not. This seems more like an act of impatience

You should have first tried to get all your activities with Quake Live running properly and have a community that considers you valuable and sees the benefits.

Now you are still in the eyes of many a questionable organisation in terms of benefits?

I really think you have OTHER priorities instead of adding other not-so-professional games to your repertoire to name some:

- Improve your website
- Improve the points / ranking system and make it more transparent
- Get more 'staff' to help out with Quake Live related activities

I share the same oppinion, AGP should do something with quake live first, make a name for themselves in ql community (well, other then the name that causes lols every time it's mentioned) then throw in all the other crap wanna-be pro games like mw or tf2...

There seems to be a lot of planning for the future and nothing really concrete in the present (or past).. i find that kind of familiar :)

But anyway, as long as leagues go along with the AGP rankings points they're fine tho.

now the important questions is, will the AGP points be kept or reset?

Please solve this fast, many tournaments and players rely on these points!

Today I am announcing that I am opening a new organization GAP - Gaming Association Professionals.
Our aim is to bring competitive Quake gaming to a new professional level. By uniting in an association we will get hundreds more prize money in tournaments and sponsorship for every player that wish to go; with us the competitons will grow infinitely. We will make Quake the primary game in WCG, ESWC, CPL and MLG, we will also bring back WSVG and make Quake primary game there too.
We will also be starting our own daily LAN tournaments in every major city in the World with 37 divisions for different skill levels and a billion dollar prize pool for each tourney.
More news on that to come soon!
But for now we have created a professional ranking point system for you:

1: Cooller - 9001 points
2-...: everyone else - 0 points

Enjoy, and look forward to more exciting promises from us!

The 'news' says "message us through the website" but the website has been replaced by a .png of this very 'news'. Yay. :D

Also, why don't you EVER just do something without vagely announcing it 3 months earlier?
I mean, except putting up youtube-vids.

This news just reads as:
"Hey, we are the new guys. We'd hope to do (what we think of as) great stuff but we haven't figured out how to do it yet, so please just wait another couple of weeks/months/years! Oh, and we'll take down our website in the meantime without giving any explanation for that."

This is just beyond ridiculous.

The Real question is what people are going to do now without the comprehensive AGP ranking system.

There is only hope that some brave soul collected all data from all the fine AGP work.
