The 2009 Major League Gaming season gets off to a grand start at the Meadowlands Expo Center in Secaucus New Jersey this weekend. With over 190 HALO teams registered in a matter of minutes, the league has opened another few spots bringing the total of teams to 224. The event is host to the prestigious HALO 3 Pro Circuit, and a Gears of War 2 pro tournament for the Xbox 360 as well. Although the league will host PC tournaments for World of Warcraft in future events this year, there will be console games only for the first event of the year.

The event will debut several new features for the league including a new live stream player, a new bracket system, a whole new spectator experience, the Old Spice Rising Star Award and much more. With thousands of dollars at stake for amateurs and pros alike, this will be a good look at the HALO and Gears fields for the year.

MLG will be streaming live video from the venue all weekend with their established PreGame Show, Friday Night Kickoff, ESPN Saturday Night and Championship Sunday. The action begins tonight, Friday April 3 at 8pm EST with the Friday Night PreGame Show. Join Faruq, Puckett, Nexy and the gang for the first stop on the 2009 MLG Pro Circuit at Meadowlands all weekend long.
