The Chairman's Office - Goin' Back to Cali?

What’s up MLG fans? Everyone getting psyched up for Anaheim? I know I am. It’s getting dark and cold in New York City and I’m looking forward to some LA sun right now. I know the pros are practicing like mad and the tension is pretty crazy amongst the top six teams heading into this last regular season event before our open-registration National Championship. So getting to the point (you know I always try to tell it straight in my blog) – we haven’t spent a lot of time on the West Coast, but we always try to make sure we get at least one event a year in Cali. We take a lot of heat from West Coast gamers and MLG fans for not showing enough love to our West Coast community. Well, West Coast MLG fans – it’s time to put up or shut up. Let me give you some perspective: Over the last two years, for every event, our Halo team passes have sold out in about 5 minutes or less - except for on the West Coast, that is. Every Open Bracket pass, sold out. In minutes. Every city from Dallas to Orlando, up to our hometown event at the Meadowlands. Every time, in 5 minutes or less, the passes are gone! Last week, we opened sales for Anaheim. There was the typical rush to grab a pass. Then things cooled off and unbelievably; there are still passes available! So what’s up west coast? I’m calling you out. We put a lot of time and effort into choosing the cities and venues where we can put on the best show and where our community is asking us to make a stand – we’re planning out next season right now. I have to say, the West Coast is looking weak. If you’re a West Coast MLG community member it’s time to rally. Now is the time to show us what you got. Get the word out, get your friends fired up, fill up these spots. LA is like a second home to me, and I would hate to see it drop off the MLG season next year. You can still buy your Halo 3 Team Passes here You can still buy your Gears of War 2 Team Passes here If you’re not playing, but you’re still coming to check out the action, buy your spectator passes here If our West Coast community can’t show up, then MLG won’t be goin back to Cali. Don’t let that happen West Coast! -Sepso |
