Ebgames Halo2 tournament, Granite City Ill,
Saturday, high noon, 4 xbox’s, 4 TV’s, 14 teams, 1 day to prove your team is the best.
A few months ago my cousin signed up for this Halo 2 tournament. He needed a team of four, this team consisted of: Me, My Mom, My 15 year old cousin Heather, and My cousin Michael, we arrived at noon, 14 teams of mostly 13-17 year olds,
game 1, we were against the Digital revolution, older guys, 25-35, slayer 50 kills on Zanzibar, we won 50 to 41, good game, but the guys were mad because they got beat by a team that included a 46 and a 15 year old girl, (which proved to be a trend through out the day),
game 2, cant remember the team, it was 50 kills on Midship, we got beat 39-50, nothing great,
game 3, we were against a cool group of freaks, (one of the guys was wearing a french maid costume), king of the hill 3 min on Ascension, starting weapons, needle, it was by far the funniest game played all day, we were right next to each other, cracking jokes, I asked them a couple times if they could kindly get out of the hill for us, they replied only if we don’t get in it, if was a blast, we won the game by 15 sec. Good times,
game 4, against the Warriors, (background, as soon as we got to the tourney these guys were saying stuff like “girls are not allowed in here” and “ girls cant play halo” these guys were from the highschool that heather use to go to) needless to say she had something to prove, I didnt know it at the start of the game, but it turns out these guys were undefeated all day 7-0, Game Slayer 50 kills, Zanzibar, we took an early lead, up by 8, and they could never get anything going, I start hearing people behind me talking, talking about the game, people saying “dim halo is beating the Warriors” and a couple of them counting down kills, Heather was on fire, 2 triple kills, more than a handful of doubles, good game for her, we ended up winning 50-20, decimated them, I put my controller down, and turn around, and there is everyone in the tourney standing their waiting to congratulate us, our 5 min of fame, I GG’d the Warriors, and they weren’t exactly gracious, but whatever, it was a good game(for us anyway)
I wont go through the rest but my team ended up in 6th place, out of 14 team, not bad for our first tournament,
