Who's going to the CPL?

[Omeganitros]

I AM. IN ABOUT AN HOUR.

"Launched June 26, 1997, the Cyberathlete Professional League (CPL) is the world's first video game sports league; and having hosted final tournaments on five continents and official qualifying tournaments in over 50 countries, the CPL is the global leader in professional computer game competitions.
Over the past eight years, the CPL has hosted 35 international main events with a total attendance of 45,000 gamers and has awarded $2,000,000 in prizes.

The CPL attracts extensive national and international media coverage and has been featured on: FUSE, MTV, CNN, ESPN, USA Network, WB, GSN, Fox, Nickelodeon, G4, Gamer.tv and ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings. "

This is the Texas summer event, hosted at the Gaylord Hotel. Among the awesome tournamenting is tons of free stuff (game demos, tshirts, ultra cheap hardware, the works), fun things to do everywhere (DDR, Halo 2 in 5.1 surround, arcade machines, a mini-movie theater showing off all the nerd cult classics as well as pirated versions of movies not yet released, plenty of pc gaming, etc), sponser booths showing off stuff they're making, and, oh, A FIVE-THOUSAND PERSON LAN.


Expect pictures by tommorrow.

I'm liking the prize and the coverage.

This is the Texas summer event, hosted at the Gaylord Hotel.

What kind of a hotel name is that?

RE: Who

They are going to be competing with CS:Source in this tourney. I'm not sure why, since source is horrible, but at least there is still a 1.6 tourney.

Anyways, it sounds like a lot of fun.

RE: Who

DSFGSADF YOU WHORE.

And I like Source. CS_Office in Source is the shazbot. Which reminds me, do they have a Tribes 2 tourney?

Have fun, you lucky bastard.

RE: Who

Stuff I got today:

4 awesome gamer t-shirts.
1 snazzy bracelet.
1 shiny key chain.
1 Intel beanie hat thingy.
Lots of information brochures.
3 flashing necklaces.
Like, 5 glowing neon stickers.

I love my t-shirts. I love them so much. Especially the "got owned?" one.

Oh, me and my 3 friends played tons of Battlefield 2. And this journalist came and interviewed me about my opinions on the game while I played it. That game is great. Especially the jets. It's hard to fly them without a joystick, and so many people crash them, but it is pretty satisfying when you win a dogfight or take down an incoming armored battallion. Teamwork is so key, and the only two really really great classes are Spec Ops and Medic. Medic especially. It's very exciting when you're sprinting across the open field with bullets zipping past you as you try to revive a fallen teammate.

Oh, F.E.A.R.? I didn't play it, but me and my pals made a team for a team deathmatch tournament tommorrow on it. We watched a ton of people play, and man, it's just awesome as it is in the trailers. And the AI is frikin good too, they'll own you if you aren't careful and play it smart.

RE: Who

I love Battlefield 2; played the demo for about a week and bought the game the day it came out. I just got done with like a 7 hour straight session of it. If anyone else has this game let me know.

Sounds like that place is awesome, if I lived in Texas I would probably attend.
