With the WCG Ultimate Gamer TV show making more and more gamers aware of the tournaments, I felt compelled to try my hand at it. The tournaments opened up in April, and will continue to run through August. So I went to the site and registered. Since at the time I only had 2 options (Guitar Hero World Tour or Virtua Fighter 5), I chose to compete in Guitar Hero World Tour.
 

 

 

In the gaming community, people are essentially divided into two categories: casual and hardcore. The term ‘hardcore’ is often used by gamers, but few stop to think about the meaning behind it. Only recently did I, myself, consider its significance, so I decided to ask around and discover how others perceived its true definition.

So, what does it take to be a ‘hardcore’ gamer?



So it seems that after 2 years the Champion Gaming Series will be shutting its doors. It comes as no surprise with how the economy is that a concept such as CGS would be ahead of its time. While E-Sports is definitely taking off better than ever before it is still evident that it will be a while before people start getting into it as much as they have for say football or baseball.

Competitive gaming has always been a tiny weakness of mine. Though I don't compete anymore I do still like to keep tabs on what is going on in the competitive side of gaming..simply because its like a whole different world. Though I have only ever been to Major League Gaming Tournaments I did hope to one day attend a WSVG Tournament...but sadly that won't happen. But there is good news for a lot of the professional gamers who attended WSVG and other gaming circuits.

Well the Major League Gaming 2008 Opener is slowly coming to a close. This year looks to be promising with my favorite team, Carbon, showing their old spirit of having fun while gaming is proving to work in their case. This year they did things a little differently. Major League Gaming started off with an online tournament for Halo 3 that started back in February. This tournament would give the Top 16 teams a guarantee pass to attend the MLG opener event in Meadowlands. So when this season started there are definitely people expecting quite a lot from those Top 16 Teams..but how did they do? Did they live up to expectations or did they fall from glory?

Through Winners Bracket Round One there were no major upsets. Many of the Top seeded teams plowed through their competition sending them to the losers bracket right away. By the time Winners Bracket Round 3 came around everyone was pumped because arch-rivals: Carbon and Str8 Rippin would face off. This team has a HUGE history and quite frankly they just don't like each other. This match was set on center stage and brought the BIGGEST crowd that anyone has seen all weekend.
By now everyone has heard of the infamous PMS (Pandora's Mighty Soldiers formerly known as the Psychotic Man Slayers) Clan and the FragDolls. Both groups are very well known within the gaming community and you will always see them at the nearest tournament. But I am not here to talk about them, I am here to bring to everyone's attention a group of Gamer Girls who are kicking butt and slowly making a name for themselves --the Gamer Beauties (formerly known as Halo Beauties).

I will be doing a monthly article on these awesome ladies and their travels through the MLG Tournament Season. I am now proud to present:
Hello Ladies!!!

One of the sites I work with, TheGamerGirls.com, is looking for some girls to play on their Gears of War team. They are looking for one-two girls to join the team TGG Twice as Nice. They are currently the highest seeded girls team. They plan on attending all the MLG's and sponsorships are available and vary by level of commitment.

So if you are a badass female gamer with a flexible schedule and willing to travel and of course want to play LAN and competitively, let us know!

One of my New Years resolutions was to become better at competitive gaming. Last year I pretty much took the year off to decide what I would do for 2008...whether I would actually compete or if I would just interview and support. After playing Halo 3 a lot recently I have decided that I would try to find myself a decent team for the whole season...play some online tournaments...and place at an event.
Well for those that don't know MLG --Major League Gaming-- has announced the release of version 3 of their game types for Halo 3 next season as well as having announced that NBA Star Gilbert Arenas will be sponsoring the first Online Gaming Ladder event for MLG. Meaning every online event after that will have fees..but hey being able to save money on the first online event is fine with me! For those that don't know Gilbert Arenas sponsored one of the top ranked MLG Pro Teams Final Boss this past year and he has been a HUGE supporter of MLG/competitive gaming.
