About National Video Games Day

National Video Game Day is officially celebrated on July 8, 2024. Meanwhile, the esports community also observes a similar occasion, National Video Games Day, on September 12, 2024. However, both celebrations share a common theme: expressing gratitude to parents for providing the cartridges and quarters needed to enjoy gaming. This was noted by IGN in “Is it Actually National Video Games Day?“

Today we honour the impact of video games on our lives, celebrate the creativity involved in their development, and recognize the exceptional skills and abilities of professional gamers. In this piece, we will take a look at 4 Esports Championship Rings created by Baron® Championship Rings and explore the legendary details behind each esports ring.

Additionally, we will take a look at an esports documentary from Classics Production (Premiered on August 9, 2024), presented as “The Original Call of Duty Champions”, directed by Shawstin, and executive produced by Doug Censor Martin, in partnership with the Call of Duty League.

As a result, showcasing the impact of Modern Warfare and Black Ops on the competitive scene. As the narrative unfolds, viewers are taken through the psychological and strategic challenges of National Championships, adding to the lasting legacy and future of Call of Duty esports, symbolized by the coveted Championship Rings.

This documentary begins by exploring the origins of Call of Duty’s competitive scene, tracing its roots back to Game Battles, which evolved from Socom Battles and set the stage for the franchise’s explosive growth. The film highlights the transition from local events to large-scale online tournaments, with Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 4 playing pivotal roles in this evolution.

Viewers are introduced to the early days of esports with MLG’s Pro Circuit Ladders (PCLs), which formalized competition and gave rise to National Championships, including the iconic first Vegas tournament. 

The documentary looks into the influence of Halo on competitive gaming and how it helped shape the emerging Call of Duty community, setting the foundation for the rise of new teams and players.

As the documentary progresses, it showcases the dominance of Team Fear during the Call of Duty 4 era, where they cemented their legacy by winning the National Championship in Vegas. The rise of new teams like Extravagant Icons in 2009 is also chronicled, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Call of Duty esports with the release of Modern Warfare 2. The documentary emphasizes the growth of streaming and community engagement, which transformed how audiences interacted with competitive play. Additionally, highlights the peak of competitive Call of Duty during the Black Ops 1 era, where standardized gameplay and increased professionalism became the norm.

The film concludes by reflecting on the triumphs and challenges faced by players in the National Championships, the psychological aspects of competition, and the enduring legacy of Call of Duty esports, symbolized by the Championship Rings that represents pride, accomplishment, and the future of the community.

Baron® Championship Rings is honoured to have been given the opportunity to design and create the Call of Duty National Championship Rings presented to the National Champions in this documentary.

“We can all do our best to try to remember some of the craziest moments and the best times and the legacies and all that stuff. But sometimes it does take some type of physical representation. Shout out to Censor for going out of his way to make sure that all the guys got their own Championship Rings. Because it’s moments like those, the things that you put on your desk or put on your wall, that you’re going to be able to remember forever, and it’s something you can always look to.”
