In Alliance of Valiant Arms, a siege of modern warfare hits combat zones around the globe where a formidable battle has broken out between the European Union (EU) and the Neo Russian Federation (NRF) in an epic struggle for dominance.  Players are tasked with picking a side and squaring off in an unprecedented clash amongst skyscrapers and deserted city blocks.  With the signature quick-fragging action of the Unreal Engine 3, combat escalates quickly and tensions run high as players anticipate a bloody clash around every corner.  Europe has yet to see more ominous missions or relentless enemies as seen on the streets of Alliance of Valiant Arms.

Modern combat fans and ijji.com members alike itching for a realistic, weapon-packed MOFPS can get their fix through the latest game to launch on ijji.com’s hardcore online portal.  Players ready to answer the call of duty can download A.V.A.

Upsets don't just happen in real sporting events. When the Alliance of Valiant Arms production and marketing departments at ijji.com decided to foot the bill for a North American gaming team to take part in the 2010 International e-Sports Federation (IeSF) tournament in Daegu, South Korea, it expected the only hospitality American players would enjoy would be away from the computer screens, mice and keyboards.

But after seeing the American team shock the gaming world with its stunning upset of the Japanese and Korean teams, ijji.com knew it needed to celebrate the moment. As part of the celebration, ijji.com set up a commemoration page to honor Team DefkoN, winners of the 2010 IeSF A.V.A title. This page features videos, pictures and details about how Team DefkoN captured the world title in A.V.A.

The American team captured the regional title to earn the all-expenses paid trip for the Grand Final, facing off against teams from more than 30 countries before claiming first place and the 5-million Won prize (approximately $4,500).

"I've been watching competitive Alliance of Valiant Arms matches since the product launched but never did I expect to see it played at this level," said Wook Kim, A.V.A project manager at NHN USA. "The Americans bringing this title home to the States proves ijji.com truly is the home for hardcore gamers. Anybody serious about multiplayer online FPS knows A.V.A is where legitimate competition is."
