What’s in store for 2009?

     For the past year we have been forming TGN Pro Teams in event cities across the nation. Each “TGN Pro Team” consists of the top 5 teams from each event who will later face other “TGN Pro Teams” from different cities. No money will be involved for the upcoming Pro Games of 2008. But that’s all changing in the in 2009.

     Starting with TGN’s Battle of the Northeast in February 2009, the top 6 teams from each event will form the given cities “TGN Pro Team.” Teams ranking 7^th-12^th will enter the upcoming semi-pro bracket. Aside from sponsorships, TGN Pro Teams will compete against other Cities for the title of the Nation’s #1 Gaming City and Cash Prizes. All TGN Pro Team games will be played via Xbox Live using our new ladder system on www.TheGamingNation.com [Thanks goes out to Rob, a.k.a. Zero, for putting the new site together for us.]

2009 will also give rise to Online TGN Events. Some Events will have an entry fee with cash prizes, while others will be free to all with sponsorship prizes.

     In the past, our events typically went in the following order:

1^st: Halo 3 FFA

2^nd: Halo 3 2v2

3^rd: Halo 3 4v4

4^th: CoD / Guitar Hero

Starting this year, Halo 3 4v4 will be the 1^st Event. All teams will choose a player to play in a quick Free-for-all for seeding purposes before the 4v4 matches begin.
