NEW YORK CITY—September 28 - 2008—Major League Gaming, the professional gaming league, today announced that it has acquired Smashboards.com, the largest Smash Bros competitive online community. Throughout the history of the Smash community, MLG has been one of the very few companies that has embraced and supported competitive Smash -- from the 2004-2006 Pro Circuit and the 2007 Smash Series, to the video/content coverage and tens of thousands of dollars in prizes. This acquisition proves MLG’s continued commitment to Super Smash Bros and the community behind it.

With the addition of SmashBoards to its network of competitive gaming sites, MLG is looking forward to investing more than just its fan-dom. MLG's strong history as the best and most authentic competitive gaming platform combined with its unparalleled community interaction will ensure that Smashboards and the competitive Smash community will continue to flourish for years to come. MLG's goal is to make competitive gaming a top-five sport in the next 10 years, and is pleased and honored to bring yet another passionate gaming community into the MLG experience.
