On 2009-06-07 a start up regional organization based in Las Vegas, had it's very first event. The title of the event, was the highly original "GAMMA #1 The Begining" (and yes, i spelt that title wrong 16 years ago, it was before the invention of spellchecks, lol).
16 years later and the same old fucker who opened that org is still plodding along, booking events and having fun with the game. The story of GAMMA was a difficult one. The early years were a true grind and it took us over 4 years to get to our first PPV level events. Pre-PPV era, we had 2 major super stars who were Jeremy Tonal and Anton Chigurh. Due to the much smaller roster depth we had, these 2 fighters spent most of their time in super fights, coming back to defend their title.
In 2013, GAMMA was hit with a major penalty. My account was flagged for having 2 multi accounts and the org was striped of all its hype and all cash reserves generated were wiped out (i was one of the richest managers in the game at the time, with over 30m). All fighters on the roster were given an option to leave for free. Some top level orgs went after our fighters, offering ridiculous money to leave the org. Dispite this, most fighters remained with the org and the true hero of this era was Renan St Juste who remains to this day, the greatest fighter in GAMMA history.
It took us a good 2 years to fully recover, but by 2015, GAMMA was producing the goods once again. Back in the day, when the game was still giving out Org awards, the org was voted in a forum poll the best org in 2017, 2018, 2019. There was also a CEO award whcih i was consistently winning from 2015 up until it was stopped in 2018 (they stopped it, because you i was essentially winning it every year).
Up to this day, GAMMA is the only org to keep historical records of all their fighters and managers. Being inducted into the GAMMA Hall of Fame as a fighter or manager, has to be considered one of the biggest awards this game can give you, because all inductions are based on real stats and a points system, you can see the list of the best managers here:
I would like to take the time to thank all the great GAMMA managers over the years, in particular all those who are still actively fighting in GAMMA and part of our Hall of Fame, which includes:
Laz Staz (82447), Runt . (108617), Bloody Gutz (3074), Action Jackson (123097), Marky Mark (22640), Rodrigo Rojas (101547), Mike Hunt (39215), Aleksey Nikulin (48376), Alexander Biro (81823), Theksit Ruengruong (117485), Pablo Spezziale (16996), Frank Abbot (49418), Hare Rumpler (126014).
All the managers above i have known for years, they have consistently produced generations of top level fighters and come back for the GAMMA belt with their next batch of monster fighters. Once again, thanks for your contribution to the game and this orgnization.
It is hard to say, how long this run will go for, everything dies eventually. The fact that this browser game has survived for so long, is already a huge achievement, most browser games of the mid 2010s no longer exist. Hopefully we can have another 16 years of top level events and legendary fighters.
