Pro-Play Games was created in 2014 by founder and co-owner George Machado. Machado started as a professional Yu-Gi-Oh! player traveling the world at the age of 16 to competitions across the country in hopes of accumulating a Hall of Fame career like role models and legends Dale Bellido and Patrick Hoban. After dedicating many years as a player, an opportunity rose to open the doors to the very first Pro-Play Games in July of 2015 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Despite completely moving away from their Miami homes, owners Roger and Machado began the dynasty with a bang - creating shock waves in the community by providing the largest tournament value, prize support, and card selection in Florida. Months later the first official Pro-Play Games sponsored Yu-Gi-Oh! roster was published. The team made it's first debut at the Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship in Dallas, Texas October 4th 2015. PPG's own hometown player Erik Cristensen took an unplayable deck - Infernoids - and took the entire tournament by storm. It was then when PPG was officially put on the map.
