Backstreet Boys join Global Gaming League

The Backstreet Boys are joining the Global Gaming League (GGL), entering the competition platform under the team name Backstreet Gamers. They join a growing line-up of celebrity-led teams competing in various video game formats.

The team

The team will consist of four members and compete at professionally organised live events. The game line-up ranges from Call of Duty and Rocket League to classics such as Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. The band is also looking for players to join the team, giving fans another way to connect with the group.

“We’ve spent our whole career sharing the stage together. Now we’re building a team to win together,” said Nick Carter. He added that the band loves gaming and friendly trash talk and is looking for players ready to put the Backstreet Gamers on the map.

Joining other celebrities

The Backstreet Boys join other celebrity teams already competing in the GGL, including T-Pain’s Nappy Boy Grizzlies, Ne-Yo’s Gentleman’s Gaming and a team led by Flavor Flav. In September, T-Pain’s and Ne-Yo’s teams met in Las Vegas, where Ne-Yo won a Tekken match at the launch event for the league’s Season Zero.

GGL founder and CEO Clinton Sparks said the platform aims to turn established fan communities into teams supporters can rally behind, while also giving players the opportunity to earn a place on a roster and compete on a global stage.
