GT Omega x PSGL

As we enter the third season of GT Omega's proud sponsorship of PSGL, we take a closer look into PSGL and how it became the success it is today. As well as this, we will tell you about how the sponsorship came about and how you can find out more information about PSGL. 

 

If you are interested in E-Sports then we're sure PSGL needs no introduction but if you're new to E-Sports then they are definitely one to check out. 

What is PSGL?

PSGL or Premier Sim Gaming Leagues is an organisation that specialises in running leagues and competitions on the F1 video game. Initially named ‘PS3GL’, its roots trace back to solely running PlayStation 3 events on Codemasters’ F1 title as well as FIFA and Gran Turismo 5. Over the years, PSGL has dipped in and out of different games but the F1 franchise remains its most popular, amassing a community of over 8000 members on Discord. Having moved from a forum in 2019. F1 video game titles as well as FIFA and Gran Turismo 5 are their main focus and success.

 

Currently PSGL is best known for its F1 leagues, where anyone from around the world can sign up and race other drivers with a passion for racing on a weekly basis. Drivers go head-to-head across a 12 to 14-week period - as they would in real life F1  - looking to score the most points and thus become champion.

 

With most drivers nowadays having the ambition of becoming a professional F1 Esports driver, PSGL gives these drivers the platform to showcase their talents. As well as this, drivers can progress through tier systems and can aim to reach PSGL's top tier on PC. This allows them to battle against the best pro drivers in the world such as Jarno Opmeer, Bari Boroumand and Thomas Ronhaar.

How Did PSGL Come To Be?

PS3GL was founded in 2008, with it simply being a website and a forum looking to bring like-minded individuals together. This began on the PlayStation 3 platform across a number of games including Call Of Duty, FIFA and F1 Championship Edition.

 

Over time the community grew and grew and, in turn, had a number of rebrands. Particulary in the PlayStation Gaming Leagues with the arrival of the PS4. After this came the Premier Sim Gaming Leagues in January 2021 as it looked to encompass other platforms such as PC.

When Did PSGL Have Its First Big Breakthrough?

PSGL had its big breakthrough midway through F1 2020 with the launch of its PC tier. PSGL started its first-ever PC championship in January 2021, in line with its rebrand to Premier Sim Gaming Leagues.

 

They managed to attract lead commentators George Morgan and Jack Cunnane to PSGL from a rival league.  A number of the best drivers around at the time, including Jarno Opmeer, Dani Moreno, Bari Boroumand also participated in the season. Giving PSGL a high quality cast, attracting a wider audience to the league. 

 

Following a successful first PC season, PSGL's second campaign took off at the start of F1 2021. The previous season's success allowed PSGL to attracted over two-thirds of the 2021 F1 Esports grid.

 

Since then, PSGL has continued on that upwards trajectory and has established itself as the dominant F1 league in the community. Regularly they have attracted all competing F1 Esports drivers, F1 Esports Academy drivers & top tier community drivers.
