Major League Gaming rolls into Ohio with the first World of Warcraft stop of the year.


The chill of winter's grasp reaches beyond the limit of seasons as Northrend's cold wind brings a blizzard of action to Ohio in June! Major League Gaming is proud to announce the 2009 MLG PC Circuit Played on HP.

The first stop for the 2009 MLG PC Circuit will be an invitation only, eight team tournament set deep in the heart of North America. Eight of the best WoW teams from around the world have been chosen by MLG to participate in this first WoW event of the year at the Columbus Convention Center. Those eight teams will battle for pride, over $15,000 cash, Pro Circuit ranking points and a chance to make the 2009 MLG WoW Championship later in the year.

The tournament format will be Round Robin Play to start, with the top 4 teams from Round Robin Play advancing to a Double Elimination Championship Bracket. Play begins Friday, June 5th and continues through to Championship Sunday June 7th. The non-stop tournament action will be streamed and cast live, in its entirety, in a live video player here at GotFrag and MMO-Champion.com

Every minute of action will be brought right to your browser by the very best WoW celebrity announcers in the world. Join anchor Alex “Vansilli” Nguyen, along with play by play expert Keith “igoaf” Trahan and Jared “Vhell” Coulston, as they deliver each and every match to you with experienced play by play and exciting color commentary.

Wow, you gotta love how all the big name organisations have a WoW team. With those big names backing a game up any game would have a healthy competitive scene.

I guess WoW is not going anywhere as long as MLG and these organisations are backing it up.
If you can read this, I can slam on my brakes and sue you!

#6 unlike CS and other FPS's WoW does not need the MLG to survive. Its 11 million strong subcriber base will not be going anywhere.
