Celebrating 6 Years of Rectify Gaming

December 17th, 2013 at 11:17 AM was when Rectify Gaming was announced to the public through Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. It started out as a community based website for anything in the gaming industry focusing on news, community events and creating content.

As the website would grow every month since then we grew to realize that we can make this more into a media outlet style site doing news and reviewing games. As time went on we of course had the opportunity to attend events like E3 and Gamescom as media.

Fast forward to 2017 and that was when we introduced the re-brand of Rectify Gaming changing the logo to have a modern look to it and introducing us into esports with of course “Rectify Esports” which has become a big part of this company and will be moving forward.

Since getting involved with Rectify Esports we have had multiple teams come and go with Call of Duty, Halo, and CS: GO. Currently we have our strong presence with Lil Capped & Ithrow for Brawlhalla who came in 2nd in the Brawlhalla 2v2 World Championships. We will be continuing our run in Super Smash Bros. with WonderBread as well in 2020.

In 2019 our stream team has grown tremendously on Twitch and Mixer providing positivity in gaming by raising over $5,000 for Children’s Hospitals through Extra Life.

This year we hosted our biggest tournaments through the Rectify Gaming Arena which were both on PUBG partnered with Outbreak Nutrition consisting of a total $3,000 prize pool which is something we’ve never done before.

During 2019 we spent time working on some internal things such as building up our Director Staff that will help grow this organization in 2020 and beyond.

Will Rectify Acquire More Teams In 2020?

This is a question that has come up and will continue to come up of course. There is no question we plan on making team acquisitions in the coming year, but we have to make sure that they will be a good fit and more importantly we want to consistently win as an organization. 

 Here at Rectify Esports we are constantly working internally to make this happen and we plan on making the right moves at the right time. It has been a long wait this year to see us compete in more games specifically FPS and we hope to end that wait soon. 

We want our community and followers to cheer for multiple teams, but at the end of the day we want the Rectify Family to cheer for winners. 

As I can’t reveal much yet about what is going to come I hope you enjoy the fun ride that 2020 brings.

Looking Back At Moments In 2019 For Rectify Esports Players

EVO 2019

The biggest Fighting Gaming event in the world. EVO 2019 was one to remember with Ryan ‘BIG D’ competing in Mortal Kombat 11 for Rectify Esports. The way it ended is one that we will not forget with being one round away from Top 8 losing to Tweedy. 

Having Ryan compete under Rectify has been an honor this year and we will never forget about this. 

DreamHack Montreal 2019

DreamHack Montreal was the first time Rectify had played in a LAN tournament outside of the United States. This was also the first time Rectify has won a LAN tournament with Lil Capped teaming with (at the time free agent) Ithrow winning the Brawlhalla 2v2 tournament. Lil capped came in 5th in the 1v1 tourney there as well. 

What made this win more memorable was that they came from the losers bracket and won 6-0 having to win two brackets in a row. 

Brawlhalla World Championships 

The $100K Brawlhalla World Championships took place in November at DreamHack Atlanta and this was the first time we had two players in Brawlhalla with Lil Capped and Ithrow. 

The boys placed 2nd in the 2v2 Championship. 

This is only foreshadowing the future of Rectify winning in the future. We have made big steps this year with our competitors and we will continue to grow with them. 

This year will mark the first time since 2014 where we will not be doing a marathon live stream on our Twitch channel celebrating another year of Rectify. We are doing things a little different this year and focusing on what will be an enormous 2020.

Thank you for supporting Rectify Gaming for the last few years and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.
