I was thinking about going to this tournament but I really can't talk Oklahoma Gaming serious especially when all the tournaments are Halo 3. I used to play with OKC Rage on a team but really how many people have you seen that are from Oklahoma become a professional gamer or a company have a major tournament here I'm not talking that MGC small time lan, I'm talking about the big lans like MLG,WCG,CGS. I've only seen one true pro gamer and that is Coolsvilla that plays on 3D.NY for the CGS. I went to WCG Dallas Regional and I was the only Oklahoma person there competing. MLG don't get me wrong is cool but WCG and CGS are more amazing leagues. MLG picks up games then they drop the prize money WCG and CGS have lots of games and have amazing prize money. I think if you guys truly want to make Oklahoma better gaming place, have a tournament on these games for WCG and whoever wins for these games gets sponsored to go to the Dallas Regional next year.
Here's the games that should be picked (Nobody can register for multiple games)
Halo 3
Guitar Hero 4
Doa4
PGR4
If you guys are thinking well we don't have enough money to pay for these players to go then my point has been proved. I went to Dallas last Sunday and it cost me about $200 but seriously making a lan center is not the smartest idea because notice there's no lan centers in Oklahoma that are still around. I only knew of one and that was Cyber Quest and they had really bad business but barely were able to pull through for a couple months. Location is key to having a successful lan center, a good location is key for any type of business.
