Changes to MLG Pro Points Major League Gaming made a huge change in how Pro Points are earned here at GameBattles. Instead of gaining points based on ladder placing, everyone gets a chance to win pro points when ladder matches are won. That's right! All you need to do is win a match on any eligible Arena and you will receive +5 pro points. This gives ALL GameBattles users a fair chance at earning some big points that will matter in the end. Make sure to play and win as many matches as you can to work your way to the top! To see how many pro points you have earned or are pending visit your GameBattles profile and click "points log". GameBattles MLG.tv channel! Our very own GameBattles MLG.tv channel was launched this month! We will be using this channel for all sorts of exciting activities such as streaming Online Tournaments, Staff Vs User matches & possible cool giveaways. We appreciate any feedback or ideas you may have so make sure to use our feedback section and let us know! And of course tune in when you see it live on MLG.tv
