This past weekend at the Anaheim Convention Center, GUNNAR Optiks once again teamed up with Major League Gaming at the MLG 2013 Spring Championship. The championship not only set attendance records (over 21,000 turned out to watch their favorite gaming clans compete for the big money prizes), but also saw the crowning of a new world champion Call of Duty team. Congrats to CompLexity on their big COD win.
Meanwhile at the GUNNAR Optiks booth, the theme was the 1990’s, a period instrumental in changing the face of gaming forever (remember the bitwars?) The full arcade cabinets of The Simpson’s Game and two-player Metal Slug 2 rode shotgun to a heated and energized N64 Super Smash Bros. tournament. Each day one lucky winner walked away with a brand spanking new pair of GUNNAR glasses.
Other big winners from the MLG Spring Championship were FXOpen eSports, destroying the competition at League of Legends and walking away with $20,000 and a spot in Riot Games’ League Championship Series Season 4 Spring Promotion Tournament. South Korea’s Polt (Choi Seong Hoon) took home the StarCraft II prize, a cool $10,000. As you may or may not know, in South Korea Starcraft II is basically the official sport of the country.
During the show GUNNAR Optiks had the popular MLG Phantom for sale in various frame color combinations. MLG’s next Pro Circuit Championship event takes place in Columbus, Ohio this November. If we see you there, don’t forget to wear your GUNNARs and head over to Facebook to check out the entire photo gallery.
