The Association for Professional Gamers (APG) will be launching later this year. The APG is based in the UK, and has been formulated to enhance the image, respectability, and general perception of the eSports industry and the eSports Professional. The APG wants to create a better environment for the Professional Gamer, Manager and Team, and increase earnings and help improve skill levels.

It is proposed that gamers wishing to create a career in eSports, should become a member of the APG, which will provide them with an official eSportsman membership card. The card, will be used at lan events, and tournaments, as well as entitling the member to a wide variety of benefits. For example, a card will entitle the member to certain discounts, that the APG will negotiate. The Member will also be eligible for the APG World Rankings, which will be announced at a later date. The Ranking system (currently in testing) is a unique powerful system, that will be the definitive way to improve recognition and exposure by climbing the "ultimate gaming ladder".

To create awareness, various membership discounts will be presented to gamers up until the launch. Therefore, the first 100 members to send a message from the APG contacts page (http://www.apgworldrankings.com/contactus.php), quoting "I believe in eSports" will recieve a 10% discount.
