The Big Bang 2010!

Saturday, April 24th, 2010

So many have been asking me … what’s up with Warfactory?  Well, we have GREAT news and can announce our BIGGEST EVER project.

After a string of successes including work for ESWC, MLG, and most recently PAX we will be working on behalf of the International Video Game Hall of Fame to help run the “Big Bang 2010″!  What is this, you ask?  Well … only one of the biggest Video Game events that you can go to in the entire region.

Warfactory’s role in this event is to provide all sorts of help, but mainly to drive the BYOC and Tournament sections of the event.   What’s that mean for you gamers?  How does this sound:

  • ‘Round the clock entertainment with a BYOC area and classic arcade open 24 hours a day.
  • Great bands every night in our 100,000 square foot outdoor beer garden.
  • Witness dozens of world record attempts by some of the greatest gamers of all time.
  • Opportunities for you to go head to head with world champion gamers.
  • Tons of contests and prizes Game Hall of Fame.  You will have unprecedented access to many of the inductees for meet and greets, photos and autographs.
  • Fantastic Historic gaming memorabilia much of which has never been displayed publically.
  • All attendees will have a chance to vote on the greatest Video Game of ALL TIME!
  • Plus great food, side attractions, thousands of fellow video game enthusiasts and some of the most hospitable people you’ll ever meet

As usual, we’ll promote the best tournaments around.  Currently there is $10,000 in cash prize for Counter-Strike, Halo, Quake, and Super Smash Bros.  Of course this is only the beginning as our team works tirelessly to find more sponsors to make this the biggest, baddest event we’ve ever done.

Want more information?  Head on over to the International Video Game Hall of Fame’s website right now and check it out.  For tournament information as it breaks, click here.

AGAIN … 3 DAYS OF 24-HOUR BYOC ACTION.  Gotta love it!

Feel free to contact us as well if you want to be involved, have sponsors who can contribute, or for any questions about the tournaments and BYOC.  We’re looking forward to seeing you there!!!

Results from Modern Warfare 2 Tournament

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

If you missed the Modern Warfare 2 Release Party at Webster University, you missed a great event.  Overall we had eight teams compete in this event for our grand prize of (for each person on the winning team) a free night’s stay at any Fairfield Inn, Batman Arkham Asylum shirts from GameCrazy, and many other prizes.  We’d like to thank GameCrazy of St. Louis (ALL Stores) in particular for contributing four complete game systems and copies of Modern Warfare 2 for the tournament!

The winners of the event were Trauma Gaming, followed by Tu Madre and Ram Rod.  For a brand new game, we had some great competition and settled on rules that worked for the event.

For full bracket details on the event, CLICK HERE.

Again, thanks for showing up and helping out the Webster Video Game Club, Warfactory, and 2GameGuys.  We’re all here to bring the best in gaming to St. Louis … if you want more events, please show your support by joining our Facebook Groups (Webster Video Game Club) (Warfactory), commenting in our forums, and turning out to have a great time!
