January 23rd
2010 Gamers across the Midwest region gathered to compete in the
UGC's first event. With some reputation set at the IGC [Illinois
Gaming Circuit] in 2008, the expectations were set high. The
featured titles for competition at this event was Halo : CE, Halo 3,
and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Returning Halo 3 team SeaSide Heights
brought a fully loaded and renovated team roster to the event with
sights set on capturing yet another title. Double Stuffed Oreo was
another team that stood out from the crowd. With a name like Double
Stuffed Oreo question began to emerge as to how the title was
developed. Their ironic team name provided an epic visual during the
games to come.
Many questioned
if the stacked roster of SeaSide Heights would sweep the field or if
it would be a repeat of last season’s IGC , with the close call
from an underdog team. The team that took the Pro team to the second
series of the Championship round was back and more confident than
ever. Returning with the team name of Redemption and lead by Wiise,
Redemption was ready to get their shot to prove they had what it
took. The real question was if the roster change by SeaSide Heights
would give them the edge they may have been lacking.
