Hey, is this going to be televised? If so, what network/channel? It just says "DirectTV" on the link.
fngkestrel
I believe it will be televised, however, I have no idea what channel it will be on. But you're supposed to wear "hip" clothes, so whatever that lends itself to mean.
getluky
you probably mean battlefield 2. :) i play that game as well, so it would be interesting to see what the serious competitors do!

Heh, didn't even notice that it said Battleship 2.
I suppose in that version, when you hit the battleship, there's a massive 3d polygon explosion.

It's cool that you support him. When I was a wee lad in my gaming career, it was fun to hear that my mom was refreshing the results page on tournament websites to see how I did. :)

Gaming career? What games?
