Stunlock Studios announces James '2GD' Harding as eSports Manager for 'Bloodline Champions'

Durham, USA - July 16th, 2010 - Stunlock Studios - developer of the upcoming multiplayer arena game 'Bloodline Champions' - is thrilled to announce James '2GD' Harding as eSports Manager for the title. Harding - a known profile in the eSports community - brings with him a wealth of experience having served as a commentator, professional gamer, general manager and organizer in various different gaming communities.

"It is an honor and privilege to join up with Stunlock Studios to help 'Bloodline Champions' reach its full potential as an eSport," says James Harding "When I first played the game back in May 2010, I was blown away with its fast paced gameplay, exciting game mechanics and clear emphasis on skill. The games were so competitive and fun, I found myself constantly drawn back to play again and again. That is when I knew this had the potential to become a huge eSports title. I am very excited to be a part of this project!"

Harding's primary responsibility will be to raise awareness for 'Bloodline Champions' in the online competitive gaming communities, as well as supporting professionals, teams, sponsors, event organizers and gaming sites. His experience and knowledge will also be useful to Stunlock as they continue to optimize the game for competitive gaming.

"We are very excited to have James join the project," says Stunlock Studios CEO Tau Petersson. "James is a well-known figure in the online gaming community, and he brings with him a unique set of skills, not to mention the experience, that will prove very valuable in making sure 'Bloodline Champions' becomes a force to be reckoned with within the competitive gaming space. While open to both casual and hardcore gamers, the game is perfect for competitive gaming, something we have kept in mind throughout production."

Ever since I was on stage with 2GD dreamhack 2008 (2009?) for a competition I've been a fan of him :P Lifted a chair with one arm, the other guy cheated so I lost :(

Anyway, can't come up with a better person for the job. Like :)
Dearest regards, MwazZ.

Jolly good show. Another step away from the sandbox, towards the climbing frame.

Indeed a great choice. James is dedicated, well known in the e-sports community, with alot of experience in competitive gaming and he is in personal contact with nearly every pro gamer you can imagine, doesn't matter if its World of warcraft, HoN, Starcraft or Quake.

Thumbs up
