The Events
Major League Gaming is the governing body for the competitive world of professional video game competitions. Throughout the year, through online battles and offline competitions, teams of four members compete for prize money totaling over $250,000
The events will be held in Newark NJ, Dallas TX, Orlando FL, Columbus OH, and Las Vegas NV. Over 40 gaming stations (8 players battling 4v4) will be placed along the outskirts of the halls. The center stage area houses the main stage where the top tiered teams compete against each other throughout the weekend, culminating in the championship match late Sunday evening
ESPN is the official media sponsor for MLG and is a key part of the brand’s ability to succeed in developing the “sport” of video gaming into a dominant, youth-centric national pastime. Throughout the weekend, ESPN carried reports from the competition online through ESPN.com

Our booth is the biggest booth, at 25’x25’ and is directly in the center of the room and in the line of sight for anyone entering the arena. Primary elements of the Dr Pepper experience include:
• Sampling full cans of Dr Pepper
• Seeing, meeting, & playing against Str8 Rippin, Dr Pepper’s sponsored MLG team
• Free play of Halo 3 in between the scheduled pro-player exhibitions

Xbox Kinect has more distinctive technology while using controller-free Kinect, which makes it increasingly frustrating that Microsoft’s own games felt more derivative compared to the third-party Dance Central. Worse still , probably the most awe-inspiring Kinect game introduced this week, Child of Eden, wasn’t playable, and contains no release date announced.

Most organizations are opting to centralize NERC compliance oversight to ensure that the processes and systems to support compliance are in place. In this model, while the business units retain responsibility for standards compliance, the centralized oversight group is responsible for making sure the right infrastructure and processes are in place.
