The World’s first International FIFA football league online, www.Stryxa.com, officially launched in style by attempting to set the Guinness World Record for the world’s first football gaming marathon this morning (Wednesday 27th January) at 10:09 in London’s Victoria Station for 24 hours. After a delayed start thanks to a gaming technical hitch the Guinness World Record attempt kicked off in style. However, two gamers decided they hadn’t got the stamina and dropped out before even starting the first game! This record attempt clearly isn’t for the faint hearted. www.Stryxa.com, which has already had thousands of frenzied gamers sign-up before the FIFA ‘10 launch, gives players of the highly acclaimed football game the chance to compete online using PS3 or XBOX360 consoles in the first ever International league system. Members will be able to pit their skills against each other in an ‘elite’ league to fight it out for the £10,000 prize fund. And to celebrate, www.Stryxa.com has joined forces with global electronic games company and FIFA 10 creators EA SPORTS, and has found 12 avid FIFA fanatics from across the UK to battle fatigue to achieve the status as a World Record Holder. The 12 players, now down to ten, all started the challenge at the same time and will play for a gaming marathon minimum of 24 hours. The survivors will be presented with a certificate for their achievement by Gaz Deaves, Gaming Editor of Guinness World Records 2010 Gamer’s Edition, where upon their name will go down in the history books.
