Post Orlando

The 2010 Pro Circuit event in Orlando was held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. The complex was amazing.

There are just too many awesome photos to share, that I can't link them all in my profile. Please go here to see many more photos of MLG Orlando 2010 (http://www.mlgpro.com/photogallery?id=44). Go here for the top 25 photos of the event: http://www.flickr.com/photos/majorleaguegaming/sets/72157623773600233/

I'd like to start first by going over the Halo 3 event. There were over 100 Halo 3 teams that showed up to the event to compete for the prestige of placing top 16. In the end, Instinct took home the 20,000$ and became the first winner of the 2010 season. Instinct was made up of –Cloud-, Lunchbox, Roy, and elamitewarrior. Team Classic, made up of Soldi3r187, TiZoXiC, Chig, and GH057ayame took home the 2nd place prize. The championship match lasted 8 games, but Instinct took home the first place victory after winning 6 games to 2. Third place went to Final Boss, made up of Victory X, .Totz., FearItSelf, and OGRE2. The top teams will return to compete in Columbus, OH at the 2nd Pro Circuit stop of 2010 June 4th-6th.
