Another tournament surfaces from the deep.
A rep mentioned at the Junkyard forums that a Halo tournament's coming up in Long Island, New York at NY Sports Plus. Looks to be fairly solid and plenty fun. Visit the tournament site for complete information.
Somebody's pissed at the government of the UK. First Tony Blair does his best imitation of a cocker spaniel in that George Michael video that nobody's supposed to be watching, then they get charged more to play Halo than Americans do-- and in the end, they get cheated out of having their own tournament.
With all this news of the Halo National Tournament having splashed to a halt, it's easy to forget the little people. With that in mind, there's an upcoming tournament in New Mexico, taking place on October 12. Seems to be a pretty good deal, if you're in the area - site's here.
Xbox365 has put up a story on the winner of the Halo National Championship, -Hp- Darkman. While the article is bylined Elizabeth it is written entirely in the first person and seems to either have been written by him or transcribed from an interview; it's not entirely clear.
At any rate, it does include his impressions of the event:
The local competition of the Halo National Tournament played in Olathe, Kansas was the one that the eventual winner, Darkman, advanced through. InfamousX has posted his recollection of some interesting events at that competition that involve flying inverted Xbox controllers...
Bungie.net just got the detailed report from Mnemesis. The winner of the Halo National Championship Finals is Dustin -Hp- Darkman Langton. He won a 50 plasma TV, a Bose stereo, an Xbox with games, and the national championship trophy.
... and there is a winner.
Who is it?
We don't know yet. Bungie.net is waiting (like the rest of us) for Mnemesis to report it. Stay tuned.
Bungie.net has posted a note that the Halo National Championship Finals have started, with roving reporter Mnemesis at the event, with news soon to come. Stay tuned.
