Awesome!!! Also, for any tetris players coming, we usually host a just as competitive, slightly more beer fueled unofficial competition in a hotel room every year. This will be no exception. And you are invited!

Is this going to be live streamed at all? Or videos to watch afterwards?

Yes, or so I think. Its actually been josh in the past who has taken the lead in making videos for youtube. But if he cant make it, I will be sure to bring my camera as well this year to document my ignominious defeat!

I just watched ecstasy of order and Id like to say Ben, you seem like a swell guy. My friends and I will be at MGC and I was thinking of entering the tournament...however I am no where near as good as any of you. Id love to see some amazing tetris!

benmullen · March 31, 2014, 08:57:26 AM

Awesome. Please stop by and say high and compete!!!! we also have a nighttime tetris party in my room one night you could stop by (I think Saturday night)

rules posted!

Cool thanks for the invite Ben. My friends and I have been going to the show for years but this is the first year I am really fully appreciating how cool the Tetris tournament there is! I have an entry to the tournament (through the VIG package), but I know I have no real chance of competing with you guys...I'm more excited just to see you and the others play. I'm sure we will bump into one another at the tournament/show at some point and we can exchange info then. We are staying at the Sheraton Saturday night as well.

See you there!

Hopefully see you guys there later or tomorrow. 3rd shift blows sometimes...sigh...time to sleep lol

we did not hear from SiRTeTRiS this time, but I would not be surprised at all to see him make a strong showing at MGC 2014.
