Major League Gaming held their Shadowrun championship tournament in Las Vegas this past weekend. EnragedGnome and his team (Secret Weapon) were disappointed to only finish 3rd after having a very strong team. First place (and $8000) went to TsK and second place went to StK.

Major League Gaming headed to Chicago and Final Boss won the first major Shadowrun LAN competition this past weekend. Registration sold out for the Shadowrun event in less than a minute. Only 16 teams were allowed to attend. The tournament took place over the course of two days with mainly Attrition gametypes being played.
Final Boss is comprised of two of the world’s best HALO 2 players in Walshy and OGRE 2. They are joined by OneEye and tournament MVP and former FASA developer eXt. The skill level of Final Boss is already beyond that of the nearest competition. While Shadowrun is a lot like a game of baseball in which any team can win, the pace at which team work and strategy evolves will determine who will shine at MLG. This team will single-handedly affect the culture of Shadowrun gameplay.

MLG is hosting several Shadowrun tournaments. Currently they are hosting a popular 4-v-4 tournament which will wrap up next week. According to their website, they are going to host an online 6-v-6 in late August. The culture of Shadowrun will greatly change with the 6-v-6 tournaments.
Of course, a lot of eyes are on MLG with their Shadowrun LAN events. They are dishing out thousands of dollars and “pro status” to many teams that win at their events.
