Greetings 8WayRun Community! We realized that we never formally introduced ourselves here so we decided to do so now! Hopefully this introduction post will clear up some misconceptions about vVv Gaming and help the community to understand our role in eSports!
vVv Gaming Mission Statement:
"In everything we do, we believe that all gamers with a passion for competition need an engaging outlet to share and express their passions. Competitive gamers thrive in a diverse environment that is social, empowering, supportive and informative, and all gamers, regardless of skill, have a place in competitive gaming.

The way we do this is called vVv Gaming, and we just happen to be the best competitive gaming community in the world. Wanna join?"
