[Jakerdot]

i want a midwest event......bring it on up to MINNESOTA WE ARE SUPER FRIENDLY :)

[YeaaaBooo0i]

I heard rumors about the opener being Dallas as well.. I really hope it is the opener, I had to miss it this year and I live only 3 hours away :(

[WiFFXI]

I haven't heard any rumors, but the would make Dallas three times in a short period. I don't know much, but that seems kind of unlikely. The really do need to come to the midwest more. Hopefully a Chicago event during the summer!

[Fierce]

I doubt it's true. Sounds like a troll, since they went right back to the previous season's championship venue last season. Would be pretty lame if it was true.

[shrEd Gein]

Hopefully Meadowlands makes a comeback seeing as iam like 40 minutes from the venue, so that would be nice. And I thought where they held Raleigh was sick.

[HavkinKnight]

yeah i say Chi town again and not for a combine! i loved Chi Town that rocked!

[minor pain]

raliegh would be awesome. this way me and magik don;t have to drive 7+ hours to a tournament for once.... lol

[Awkwarrd]

Pleaseeeee Atlantaaaa

[Fir3]

I really want a midwest tournament.. The only tournament that was near me last year was Columbus.. which was still 7+ hours away.

[DYNASTYBLUE2]

i agree with jaker let it come to the midwest

do it in milwaukee wi thats close in the midwest

[forefront]

Why have they never come back to STL? There are tons of places to hold an event here.

[HavkinKnight]

dude True! we have tons of places in the St.L hey we have the Ritz ;)

[badmayne]

I liked the DC hotel, they should do Seattle.

[Overuled]

Wouldn't surprise me, Last seasons opener was held in Orlando after Nats were held in Orlando.

In all honesty I don't care where opener is, I just want more events next year. 2 month gaps aren't fun.

[Roastbeef_253]

I liked the DC hotel, they should do Seattle.

Completely agree seeing as how I am less than an hour away. However, we all know how MLG loves to do events on the West Coast because they ALWAYS sell out. Seriously though, this is the birthplace of Microsoft/Xbox and Bungie. Show em some love. Plus, we got lots of West Coast pros who would probably love to not fly over a 3 hour time change for every tournament.

[Pupp3t]

I'm definitely thinkin' that STL is where they should be headin. Middle of the country, plenty of venues, and closer to me.

[MichaelMongrel]

They honestly need to take it to the BBQ capital of the world. Kansas City. I don't think there is a downside besides the baseball team sucks.

But I wouldn't mind Dallas again.

[Morgacht]

as long as they come over to Orlando again

[Papagrande]

i have heard some rumors about Dallas being the opener for 2011?

anyone else hear about this?

Your thoughts?!

I would take Dallas as my opener in my pool for"SURE"

[Ominous]

April 1st - 3rd @ Dallas.

[TACO]

April 1st - 3rd @ Dallas.


post your sources now!?

[Cheeky]

they should go back to Boston, of Philidelphia
But anywhere would be nice. Just to know were it is and stop keeping us waiting would be amazing!

[Ominous]

post your sources now!?

I can't tell you my sources, so you can choose to believe me or not on those grounds.

[TACO]

I can't tell you my sources, so you can choose to believe me or not on those grounds.


then next year is still uncertain

[HavkinKnight]

yeah i agree with Taco and ur saying it on April fools day

[Monk3y]

I really wish they would have one in Philly, PA. Or even Pittsburgh. I live in PA and the closest tourney I could have went to was Columbus but I couldn't go this year because I didn't get my license until after school ended.

damn dude that sucks but nothing is better than any Dallas event!

[HavkinKnight]

well im getting tired of the same 4-5 places each year Meddowlands, Dallas, orlando, Columbus

[TACO]

well im getting tired of the same 4-5 places each year Meddowlands, Dallas, orlando, Columbus

as far as i heard at dallas that there least likely to go to the west coast due to sells!

[HavkinKnight]

dude that sucks! really do one in MO or close like TN or KY or IL i mean Nashville or St. Louis MO

[Araneatrox]

I would quite like on on the east coast, Cheapest/easiest for me to get to. Or possibly Florida, give me an excuse to save cash for something.

[Dust]

I've been hearing about a Dallas opener from a lot of people.

[TACO]

I've been hearing about a Dallas opener from a lot of people.

Thank You Ecks!

[HavkinKnight]

yeah but not apr1-3 i hear dallas from alot of people its like orlando twice back to back finals then opener

[Inexist]

If it is a Dallas opener this would be amazing for you Taco cause you only live 2 hours away right ? = D

[Sabrea]

They need to come to the west coast! Anahiem was in 09!!:(

[TACO]

They need to come to the west coast! Anahiem was in 09!!:(


as far as i knnow......they want to stay away from the west coast!

[KRILLIN]

They will be going back to Raleigh this year and probably Dallas, Columbus and somewhere on the west coast Clap and Sundance both said as much in their vVv podcasts.

[WiFFXI]

Do you think you could give us a link??? Just checking.

[UNi]

There needs to be more in the North West... Portland, OR would be ideal, but Seattle would be nice too.

[PK Toolboxxx]

i would like to see either orlando or miami at some point. (1.5 hours from orlando, 45 mins. from miami). Maybe a San Diego stop, Medowlands, St. L. would be cool. Just some new places to see how people around the country accept MLG.

[DaMuSiCFiEnD]

Hopefully it's back in Dallas, that way I can go.

They stated at Raleigh that they won't be going back to Meadowlands, because the venue is too small for all of the games they have now. Personally, I am really hoping for Atlanta or D.C. again.

[Hylian]

I want a west coast event!
California or Vegas preferrably.

[tizoxic]

I can make some stuff clear for you almost all events will be east coast this year and meadowland wont return because of the venue size.

[Rolo]

If all are in the east coast then I hope it comes back 2 D.C!

[ThisGuyPwnage]

as far as i knnow......they want to stay away from the west coast!

whys thats??? and with everyone talking about raleigh hope they do!! lol makes it easy for me

[heuer89]

whys thats??? and with everyone talking about raleigh hope they do!! lol makes it easy for me

The main reason why MLG has stayed away from the west coast lately is because of the poor attendance they have had. From my understanding Anaheim 09 was very bad for attendance which pushed the events even more to the east where attendance has been much higher.

[MichaelMongrel]

I think MLG has grown over the past year. And it's no good to keep neglecting the west coast as time goes on.

[Crim]

I really hope the first event isn't at Dallas and closer to the east coast kind of far for a new yorker to travel lol

[WiFFXI]

Why not have all events in the midwest? Then it would be equal distance from everyone on the East and West. Maybe like a Kansas City event?? I don't know enough though..

[Eamonn]

Sundance and Clap have both said they will have a west coast event.. and there might be a possibility of starting on the west coast and heading east with each event.. opener = sold out regardless of where it is so it would be smart to start on the west coast.

[VoRLiN]

Better not be near here... I don't want to have to break out of retirement...

[F1R3]

I am hoping MLG stays with Columbus because it is the closest Event i will attend. I would also like to see meadowlands come back.

[MichaelMongrel]

I hope to see more than one event off the coasts. I hope to be able to go to 2-3 events this year, and so Dallas and Columbus sound great to me.

Here are the places I would love to see an event:
Kansas City
Chicago
Des Moines
Oklahoma City
St. Louis

Places on the coasts on want to go to, and would love to see an event at:
Boston
New York
San Diego
Seattle
Miami
San Francisco

[Sabrea]

Micheal you would love San Francisco and San Diego I practically live in sf and I
Visit sd regularly they are two different cities what I mean different is like they are way unique!

[F1R3]

Miami
San Francisco

I agree. personally I would change OK city for Indianapolis or maybe Bloomington, IN but I think you have a good list of cities there for an MLG event

[Renrew]

Heard an MLG Staff talking about it on the phone at Dallas. That's all I heard.

Dallas
San Jose
Raleigh

Don't quote me on this.

[-Drewsky-]

I heard the Opener is at Dallas and the Finals might be Las Vegas.

[AntKeyyy]

i would love it if they picked

1. philly
2. meadowlands
3. d.c.


the rest i dont care about, but hopefully one of my picks is the opener or somewhere close to pa, haha

[steelcity007]

i would love it if they picked

1. philly
2. meadowlands
3. d.c.


the rest i dont care about, but hopefully one of my picks is the opener or somewhere close to pa, haha

Dude I'm from Pittsburgh and they have the new Consol Energy Center and Stage AE which just opened recently, as well as our Convention Center which is already popular. I think those are some pretty epic choices for them to travel out this way to.

[AntKeyyy]

haha thatd be nice, but if it were to be anywhere in pa, id rather it be in philly, go back to old mlg events haha

[steelcity007]

Yeah man i gotcha, it'd just be nice for me not to travel ahaha

[Ov3rKiL1]

I heard Dallas, Anaheim.

[ZingyChukka]

I love to see Vegas again. Since Vegas is hurting right now room rates at the nice hotels are very cheap under $120 a night over how it used to be in the past and it is easy to get a venue here now.

[iDactyl]

Sundance confirmed via twitter that Orlando would be a 2011 event location.

[ZingyChukka]

Sundance confirmed via twitter that Orlando would be a 2011 event location.

It may not be in 2011 here is what he put "we did 2 events in Orlando and one did well. The last guy planned poorly. We will return... At some point (details soon)." This doesn't confirm it for the 2011 season. It is a possibility though.

[iDactyl]

If you looked at the tweet he was replying to, you'd know that he means some point in 2011.

[-Drewsky-]

MLG needs to get away from the Orlando, Columbus, Medowlands. For the past 3 years, it has been repeat cities. It is not fair to the West Coasters since there are no events out there any more. Dallas is still a 10hr + drive from California. I would like if MLG had 1 event ON the West Coast (San Diego), 1 event South Western ( Dallas), 1 event South ( New Orleans) , 1 event Central ( Chicago) and 2 events ON the East Cost ( Boston) and ( D.C.)

[MLGSky]

Dallas FTW idc i that i have to drive 9 hours again beats buying a plain ticket.

[Blind]

I really think that Columbus should be the place for opener because the convention center there is a great environment plus its a huge building also all of the pros love it there and it is usually the biggest event every year I always love going to spec but this year I will be competing and nothing would be better than to have my first mlg event in my home state :)

[MissCarnage]

Hopefully Meadowlands makes a comeback seeing as iam like 40 minutes from the venue, so that would be nice. And I thought where they held Raleigh was sick.

Agreed! I'd love for the opener to be at the Meadowlands. I live in PA and the closer the event to me, the better! I'd rather not have to fork over all my savings on a plane ticket to be able to be at the opener.

[KRILLIN]

Can't wait for the announcements so I can know where I will be traveling this year!

[Kamikazeewoks]

i want a midwest event......bring it on up to MINNESOTA WE ARE SUPER FRIENDLY :)

Minnesota that is where it is at!

Atlanta would be awesome too!

[Gezza01]

i heard it was las vegas but i am not sure

[KRILLIN]

i heard it was las vegas but i am not sure

Damn, that would be sweet! I'm going to be a ref this year and that would be so cool.

[CLEHeavyWeight]

Krillin going huge

[Gravity]

I heard that they are starting in Vegas and making their way to the southeast and then working up the coast.

[Kamikazeewoks]

i heard it was las vegas but i am not sure

That would be tight if they went back to Vegas!

[KRILLIN]

Sundance said it wasn't on the East Coast or the West Coast on his Twitter. Hopefully he doesn't consider Vegas to be West Coast. I'd love to think that's still a possibility. Dallas would be ok too since I've been there and it would be a familiar event for me to start a new position.

[Gravity]

Yeah I do remember reading that tweet. So I guess it depends on if he considers vegas on the coast. I definitely think Vegas and Dallas are the most likely for the opener.

[Kunamori]

I really hope MLG comes back to Raleigh.

That was my first event and with school that's like the only way to go to an event haha. I hope they come back though it would be awesome.

[MichaelMongrel]

Yeah I do remember reading that tweet. So I guess it depends on if he considers vegas on the coast. I definitely think Vegas and Dallas are the most likely for the opener.

I remember a lot of people were saying the Vegas venue was small in 2008... and now MLG says the Meadowlands venue they used in 2008 AND 2009 is too small. So maybe not Vegas.

I'm going with Dallas or Columbus for the opener.

[KRILLIN]

Vegas has a TON of venues though so I'm sure they can find something else if they really want to go there.

[RagingChickens]

Hopefully Meadowlands makes a comeback seeing as iam like 40 minutes from the venue, so that would be nice. And I thought where they held Raleigh was sick.

I think I heard that there won't ever be an MLG Meadowlands again. Something about the venue being too small.

[americanbash]

I really want to see MLG come back to Chicago :P

[Kamikazeewoks]

I really want to see MLG come back to Chicago :P

Chicago would be really cool to see MLG go back too!

[KRILLIN]

I really want to see MLG come back to Chicago :P

Me too so I can maybe go visit the Gaming House.

[AntKeyyy]

I would love to have Philadelphia as an event. I'm from PA so most convenient for me. Also, a lot of my friends would go and support me which would be a huge morale boost if we end up losing a series or something.

[sYn Underdog]

Yeah sundance said they've been there before so its either Dallas, Chicago, or Columbus

[Gweedo888]

didnt they have one in like nashville i think it was a few years ago ?

[KRILLIN]

didnt they have one in like nashville i think it was a few years ago ?

They had a combine there last year for sure. IDK about an event but I think you're right about that.

[HEA7]

mark my words DALLAS

[MS eMeRaLd]

i reckon the opener will be the united kingdom, in my home town of LEEDS :P

[KRILLIN]

i reckon the opener will be the united kingdom, in my home town of LEEDS :P

That would be fine by me. A free flight to England would ROCK!

[MS eMeRaLd]

in all seriousness though, im intrested to see where all the events will be this year

[KRILLIN]

in all seriousness though, im intrested to see where all the events will be this year

It's cool that they are going to list them all at the same time later this month. I'm really anxious to see where I'll be traveling all year.

[HavkinKnight]

i know everyone thinks Dallas but please shock us all with st. Louis PLEASE

[Mrs P]

Ok guys so here it goes.......This is my UNOFFICIAL , just personal opinion.

There will not be a meadowlands, Las Vegas, Chicago, St. Louis, or DisneyWorld


There most likely will be:
1. Dallas (Opener)
2. Columbus, Oh (not necessarily second, but likely)
3.Raleigh, NC
4. Somewhere, Ca. (?)- not sure, attendance is not usually great there.
5. Wash. DC
6. Orlando, FL.

That being said, I would LOVE more then anyone to have a Chicago event!
Actually, even St. Louis, Mo. But from what I understand because of our crappy "Union's" it will maybe, never happen here.
Meadowlands, yes too small. Their out.
Orlando, will happen probably this year, but not at Disney again. They always have great attendance in Florida.
They did have a Nashville Combine, it was the first of the combines, anthony was lucky enough to have been asked to work it.
Not a huge fan of Dallas, like it. But theres nothing in walking distance, no food, nothing, besides "Denny's". There is a fabulous mall but its a 20 minute cab ride.
JUST MY OPINION.
PS. watch for my blog coming soon!!!

[HavkinKnight]

Mrs. P dont be a dream killer lol i live 15 mins from St. L :( lol heck i live like 4 and a half hour from y'all so lets fight for a Chi town or a St.L cuz i need a cheap Event lol i have never been to a PRO event just a Combine and an NGL event and i have followed MLG religously since 2004 lol 7 years no pro event :(

[Mrs P]

Well Im just saying..... and of course ANYTHING can happen, you never know. I too would LOVE an event in either place as well.And wow, you gotta go to an event!!! Pro events blow away combine's. This will be your year!! Is it possible for you to drive to Dallas or maybe Columbus?? If you had to??

[HavkinKnight]

id like to but sadly im in the same boat as everyone else with little money to spend... and trust me seeing the main stage is a dream and stepping foot on to it was like my life long goal when i got into MLG to just walk on to the main stage lol its kinda like the biggest dream of my life and now im 20 and im still pretending im like 14 and one day will play with T2 lol cheesy yes i know but still people need something to stride for MLG helped me through finding about my Heart disease (mitral valve prolapse) and my Blood disease (von willebrand's) and TLN helped when my family and i had a falling out and i lost my future wife... so my life has been a little hard to attend an event but i have never missed a live stream for all 7 years. and i hope your right Mrs. P i hope this is my year every year that passes my heart gets a little more excited for the chance to step into an event lol i use to dream about them... (not lying sad i know) i would lay in my bed and commentate the matches and pretend i was there some people wanna play baseball or basketball or become president or a important figure me i just wanted to play on the main stage at an MLG pro event. now i just wanna see the main stage. and meet T2 (i already met your son one night on xbox him and i talked for a while he added me to his friends list for a bit and promised me a Autograph and a photo at the combine I should so post that photo) so yeah im trying to get a stable job after losin mine due to missing to much work from illness (i had Mono and a Kidney stone in 2010) and pay for an event cuz im just getting to anncy i need an event or ima go crazy lol... im 20 years old with a crazy life story that pretty much revolves around Crappy things that happened and how MLG made the diffrence in my life. hey i should write a novel maybe MLG will fly me to an event then LOL!

and people im sorry for bringing my life problems into TLN but hey everyone has a story and im here cuz MLG, TLN and all the people here that care about me help me push through the struggle and i could repay you back for all the respect and kindness you show towards me and everyone else

That seems pretty accurate! DisneyWorld would be so AWESOME!

[Gweedo888]

If we have one again in Orlando i say we all get together and have a TLN dinner out or something that Friday or sat night i am actually going to request those days off work just so i can make it ( i live in Orlando so if you want to come but cant afford a place let me know your more than welcome to crash here ) also i suggest dinner cause my wife wants to know who the hell i am always talking to on this fourm lol

[MichaelMongrel]

That seems pretty accurate! DisneyWorld would be so AWESOME!

It happened. 2010 Opener was in DisneyWorld. Idk why it failed because I didn't go, but sounds like it's back to the other venue they used (which happens to be within 10 miles of DisneyWorld.

[Gweedo888]

ya the marriott world center i actually like it better

[Kamikazeewoks]

I didn't even know that's crazy! I wouldn't know either Disneyworld is always crazy!

[HavkinKnight]

maybe to many distractions that people paid less attition to MLG

[Kamikazeewoks]

Thats probably very true.

Can't wait how soone are we talking though

[XsilentXbyteX]

I know it'll never happen but a Phoenix or any Arizona event would be amazing, means I'd need less then an hour drive to get there :P
I'd like to see a Cali event, that I could maybe travel to. Just need friends..... and a car. Money helps a lot too.

[D Moralize]

I live in Az too and im pretty sure we have some stupid law that considers entering a tournament where you can win money gambling, so anyone that entered would have to be 21. Im also hoping for a cali event but I think it should be the opener or championships

I don't believe we have a law like that. Gamestop holds tournaments like this all the time and wouldn't that be the same thing?

And I'd say if there was a cali it would be 2nd or 3rd event. Don't see it being opener unless they are trying to get more attendance and that would be a way.

Hope you're right about everything but the no Chicago! I want the chance to come by TGH and visit some of my boys!

[iMagic10]

It's all about Orlando.

[Gweedo888]

It's all about Orlando.
I hate florida but i have to agree lol

[Teamwe]

Come back to Chicago, was awesome last year! Also I agree with putting in more events but the 2 months in between gives me good time to make the money to go out the events and practice with the team ha.

[System]

I hear Dallas April1-3. Sundance also tweeted something from a Texas song on his twitter a couple days ago or something.

[heuer89]

I hear Dallas April1-3. Sundane also tweeted something from a Texas song on his twitter a couple days ago or something.

Yea I noticed that too. If it really is April 1-3 that wouldn't be so bad although driving to Columbus from Fargo is much nicer than driving to Dallas... :/

[KRILLIN]

I hear Dallas April1-3. Sundane also tweeted something from a Texas song on his twitter a couple days ago or something.

Pretty much all signs are pointing to this. April Fool's Day at an MLG event. Should be interesting.

[MichaelMongrel]

Sundance also said he realized it was a mistake scheduling back to back Orlando events...

I'm guessing Columbus, Chicago, or even Denver or St. Louis.

[Gweedo888]

what do you mean back to back??? like the championship and a opener? i still think they will come here this year they seem to have a good turn out when its not in disney

[heuer89]

Yes SD was referring to championship / opener style. I have no doubt Orlando will be one of the events this year. Plus I REALLY need an excuse to go to FL...

ha ha ha well man you can crash for free at my crib i also think that if or when Orlando comes up we should all have a TLN Dinner or somthing you know kinda meet and greet lol

[heuer89]

For sure! Who knows though at that point I may get to coach a regular team so I'll be able to stay at the hotels for cheaper! I do hope they have one on the west coast though. My goal is to make it to at least 60% of the events again this year! :)

I highly doubt my ability to fly to any event this year. But I plan on driving to a few in my area. I want to make it to at least 2 this year.

[KRILLIN]

My dream event schedule would include Chicago, Vegas, Orlando, D.C., and San Diego.

Sundance said there might be a MLG NOLA

Nola?

@Krillin, mine would be Orlando, Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Key West. Location Location Location. :)

EDIT: I just checked my School Schedule and I have an early release day on April 1st and no school the 4th so I REALLY hope the opener is April 1-3. That'd work perfectlyyyyy.

Haha I could live with that. Might get me a tan by the end of the year! :D

[_Rush_Rushes_]

Orlando would be nice :)

[Gweedo888]

Ha ha that would be crazy an entire seasoning in Florida. I could've so make every event lol history can't wait till the new season so I can meet done people from this site

[HavkinKnight]

sundance also said he realized it was a mistake scheduling back to back orlando events...

I'm guessing columbus, chicago, or even denver or st. Louis.

please be right!

[rasha fasha]

Nola?

New Orleans I believe

[HavkinKnight]

no way New Orleans thats a Crazy choice... Crazy enough to work tho?

[chris_cr33p]

st. louis or chicago

[HavkinKnight]

WE ALL WANT a ST. L baby!!!!!!!

[Antidote]

WE ALL WANT a ST. L baby!!!!!!!

Pretty much this. Only a few hours drive.

[HavkinKnight]

its a 15 min drive for me :) OMG it they just could make it work!!!!!!

After hearing Sundance say that back to back Orlando was a mistake I'm sayin' Houston. Which wouldn't be bad since the plane ticket would cost less since the airport isn't as major.

See, that's the only thing that's keeping me from saying it's for sure Dallas. I hope they call me soon about what my position is going to be. The wait is driving me nuts!

[Cheeky]

Im not supposed to spread this so don't go to the MLG forums, but I heard:
Dallas, Columbus, Rhode Island (Providence), somewhere in California, Orlando
That's what Im being told, Ik someone who knows a guy who works for one of the sponsors affiliated with MLG.
Just thought I would share this.
If this turns out to be true, I will be most happy!

thank you antidote for the idea!

[HavkinKnight]

i believe so... bummer i was really really pulling for St. Louis

[chris_cr33p]

i Dont know how they could put it back in dallas i was thinking st. louis or chicago.

[aSAB3R]

im hoping for something like cbus or philly. someplace where its not too bad of a drive from the middle of NY state

[chris_cr33p]

go back to DC :)

[HEA7]

Yes!!! Va local whooooo!
*cough cough* excuse me... Yes, that would be very nice.

[Cbur]

hope it's in dallas. better yet houston pls, so i can just stay at my house.

[Jakerdot]

I don't get it...why is it a poll?

[Jewjitsu]

I dont really care where the opener is as long as there's an event in atlanta in the summer or fall. But it is indeed in dallas, kinda lame that they used the same city 2 events in a row again.

[RagingChickens]

Based on Sundance's comments, I doubt it.

[HEA7]

Havin said that according to Mlginsider, the opener will be in dalas. i personally think thats bs. Thus the poll

[darkon124]

i hope the next event wont be in dallas god it would be 2 in a row... and dallas is sooo far away from my hometown :P lol i am from QC canada haha

[iDactyl]

Yup, sunny D just confirmed it on twitter.

[HavkinKnight]

Not really confirmed yet. At this point it's still unofficial, but I'd say it's a pretty safe bet we'll see the open back in Dallas.

First two cities have been announced! Dallas Apr. 1-3 & Columbus June 3-5

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cIfW8a9IKCo

[Jewjitsu]

it looks like this season is going to have the championships in 2011 again, unless they bunch them close together like last year. i really hope that with six events there will be one at least within a 4 hour drive of Atlanta because i REALLY want to go to one. Also, Mr. P should plan the next PvJ since we know when Columbus is, and so we can get better prices on plane tickets.

[Lefthanded]

Starcraft 2 Nationals :D :D :D 50k for 1st. Competing with GSL ftw :)

[itwuzmagik]

ha awesome all the freaking way in dallas lol oh well.

[KRILLIN]

Oh well, at least I know now. Should be getting an email today about my position as well. :D

Pretty excited!
Except there are two hotels listed for the Dallas event, which one is everyone going to be staying in?

Whichever one you're not Smelly Shelly! :D If the Anatole is listed I'm sure that's it since it's been there like 4 years in a row.

[Justin21]

Ive never been to an event and i live in alabama now, and since dallas isnt far im thinking i mite go :)

Do it! I didn't get to meet a whole lot of MLG community members last year at Dallas. I expect to meet any and all TLN members that attend each of the events or there will be hell to pay!

[Shelly]

Whichever one you're not Smelly Shelly! :D If the Anatole is listed I'm sure that's it since it's been there like 4 years in a row.

HEY! I'm not smelly :(
And they're not having it at the Anatole this year! Different venue.

[KRILLIN]

Makes sense because of the new main stage and all. Did they list which they are using already? I'm having a hard time figuring out another hotel besides the Gaylord Texan that can accommodate. And no, you're not smelly. :( I'm just still jealous of your Pistola friendship and my lack thereof.

[MichaelMongrel]

Whichever one you're not Smelly Shelly! :D If the Anatole is listed I'm sure that's it since it's been there like 4 years in a row.

The Anatole is a few miles away from the new venue. I'm sure more people will stay in the hotels MLG is listing.

[KRILLIN]

Oh ok, Dallas Convention Center. Makes sense. That place is huge also.

[MichaelMongrel]

Someday the mainstage will be held in Cowboy Stadium...

[KRILLIN]

That my friend would be freaking sweet. Especially since I'll be there working! I'm really glad it's in Dallas and I'm excited about going to Columbus. I have a really good friend that lives in the area and I'm hoping he can come hang out.

[TACO]

what venue are they holding it at Shelly?

[KRILLIN]

what venue are they holding it at Shelly?

It's at the Dallas Convention Center. The hotels are pretty nice too.

[AntKeyyy]

So, according to my friend, apparently Sundance promised having an event in Philadelphia, PA. Hopefully he does b/c that would be fantastic.

I was guaranteed a position after last year so I didn't have to apply or anything. I'm not really sure tbh but I would imagine within the next couple of weeks if I had to guess. I think it depends on how many they need.

[americanbash]

Well wish me luck cause I applied.

[RagingChickens]

I wonder why they only released the first 2, do you think the rest haven't been decided yet?

That or they just want to keep us guessing for awhile.

[TeardropS]

Hey, So im just curious..are they taking out Reflection at last? or are we going to have to suffer until v4...Also, Whats up with all the new maps? Any word on them being added in v3?

I've heard from a few Pros that MLG Anaheim will be happening this year, although not yet announced on the MLG Official Site. Wondering if this is true and if anyone has heard rumors about other California events?

[-ironman]

Sunny D confirmed 3rd event was gonna be on the west coast thats all i got for ya :(

[americanbash]

I highly doubt there will be more than one event in California. They tend to try and spread them out.

[C0ACHMAYNE]

The 3rd event starts with San.... :)

[Valentine84]

Sweet! San Diego! :D

[MichaelMongrel]

San Francisco is more near the middle of the west coast.

seriously, if there's not an event within 100 miles of me this year i'll be MAD

Sorry to break this to you mang, but for some of us, there will never be an event within 100 miles. Sometimes you have to travel.
You have to think in terms of how many states away from you it is. For me, Dallas TX is only two states away, and I'm content with that.

[Roastbeef_253]

My personal guess is that there will be an event in Seattle. This is more than a wish than a guess, but MLGinsider.com also has my back and is getting my hopes up. Home to Bungie and Microsoft....I can always dream, right?

That'd be sick I can see Seattle from where I live, but I doubt it has any credibility seeing as the west coast event will be the 3rd event not 6th event like they said. Also, why would they have 2 venues in different citys to hold one event lol :S

[gazurk]

I don't see why Reflection is such a bad map. Can someone explain?

[Jewjitsu]

ok, maybe 100 miles is a little too much to hope for, but i would really like an event that's fairly close, i think they should have one in GA.

reflection sucks because it's a bad remake, and the mechanics of reach make it even worse.

[MidKnight]
