Hey you, Soldier! Marine! Sailor! Airman! Coastie! Are you currently serving? Are you a veteran? Do you play video games in your downtime…or during the duty day? (we won’t tell)
Or are you a civilian that supports and loves you some U.S. military members? If you answered yes to any of these questions, Military Gaming League wants YOU to join us on Saturday, April 27th at our first official PUBG Branch Battle, right here in Las Vegas, Nevada at the HyperX Esports Arena. “What the heck is a Branch Battle, and who the heck is Military Gaming League?” you might ask. Well, put on your PPE and tell your sergeant you’re going on a “smoke break” because you’re about to get death by PowerPoint…just kidding, we’re way cooler than that.
Military Gaming League (MGL) is the only esports league that is exclusively built for U.S. servicemembers and veterans. A Branch Battle is our signature tournament series where we pit all of the combat arms military branches against each other to see who shoots, drives, crawls, sails, or flies their way to the top and proves to be the best branch.
Our PUBG Branch Battle is a battle royale like no other. We’ve taken the top 5 duo teams from the Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marines, and Navy, put them all on their respective military branch teams, and are dropping them in the middle of
It doesn’t stop there, we’re bringing some incredibly amazing PUBG personalitiesto host a panel at LVL UP Expo as well as to captain a branch team of their own in a 1 game show match, right before the Branch Battle!
Let us introduce you:
Funker – Army Team Captain
- Funker is a Canadian infantry veteran and founder of the popular Funker530 veteran community sites (one of the largest worldwide military networks in existence). Funker’s mission is to give veterans and active duty members a place to connect with others who have shared similar life experiences and ensure that no veteran is left in the dark feeling alone after their service. When Funker isn’t streaming PUBG and other FPS games, he’s spending time with his wife and son, hunting, or fishing.
- While Funker may not be American, he speaks grunt and knows what it takes to get in the trenches and get the job done, and that job is winning the Branch Battle showmatch!
