GameOn LLC, the very same business I used for last year’s HFFL LANstravaganza is holding a Halo 3 Tournament on July 19th from 11am-9pm.
I’ll be in attendance for some of the day. Likely not competing though, LOL. I’m decent, but not anywhere good enough to compete in pro-level gameplay.
Here’s the info on the event, from their site:
Hey all you Halo 3 fans, we would like to invite you to our Halo 3 tournament. So tell all your friends and get your teams ready for another great GameOn Halo tournament. This will be an FFA 2v2 4v4 tournament with a mix of MLG gametypes from 2009 . Each team will play 3 matches, 2 objective based games and one Slayer. Tell all your friends and get your teams ready. Let’s make this one big guy’s. We will be using current MLG settings for all brackets. To get these settings and maps go to file share in Halo 3 and search MLG!! Prize for first place for FFA bracket prize will be 40% of the cash pool 2v2 will be %60 4v4 will be 100% payout!
ATTENTION: The first round of the Tournament will be at 12:30pm. We will be starting with FFA and ending with the 4v4. All teams and players must report to GameOn before 12pm July 19th to check in. you will need to pay at the door it must be (cash only). If you plan on competing in FFA, 2v2 or 4v4 please reserve online!! This is just to give us an idea of who will be competing. We thank you and above all Good luck and have fun!!!
FFA Gametypes and Maps:
Admission price $15
In this bracket we will split everyone up into groups or just one big group depending on the amount of players. We will be playing a slayer match and the bottom 6 will be eliminated. For example if we have a group of 12, bottom 6 will be eliminated and we will play again. Winner out of the top 6 will get 40% of the cash pool, 1st place only. This all depends on how many we have for the FFA bracket but we are hoping for 12 or more. Prize will be percentage unless tier system is put into effect, see above for details!!
Maps Slayer:
We will be playing on a small map like Haven but we will take a vote day of to see what everyone wants to do.
4v4 Gametypes and Maps:
Admission price $60
For this bracket we will be doing the same as the 2v2 brackets. Teams will play a mix MLG maps and gametypes. Win 2 out of the 3 rounds and your team will advance to the next round. This will be Single elimination unless we only have a couple of 4v4 teams. Price of admission per team is $60 for 4v4 and $35 for 2v2 that’s 17.50 for 2v2 and $30 a person for 4v4 if everyone on the team pays in.
