Midnight Gaming Championship 2007: Announcing the first four cities

In case you’ve been wondering where this year’s Midnight Gaming Championship is expected to take place, we’ve got news.

The event’s official site has just sent out a press wire announcing that the MGC 2007 is expected to take place this September 8, in the cities of San Francisco, and Columbus (Ohio). The MGC is expected to end on September 15, in the cities of Denver and Cleveland.

These select cities come as a result of the MGC’s previous online votes, with gamers asked where they wanted this year’s MGC to go. This year’s competition is expected to feature these five games:

• Super Smash Bros. Melee (Nintendo; GameCube)
• NBA 2K7 (2K Sports; PS3, PS2, Xbox 360, Xbox)
• Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2 (GRAW2) (Ubisoft; PSP, PS3, Xbox 360, PC, Mobile)
• GTR2 FIA GT Racing Game (Viva Media; PC)
• Fast and the Furious: Fugitive (I-play; Mobile)

Video Gamers League president Jeff Gross had this to say regarding the upcoming event:

We wanted to give gamers a chance to bring the MGC tournament to cities that normally may not get a video game tournament. The race was really close at the end, with the top six cities coming down to the wire.

Winners of these series of tournaments stand to win a round-trip ticket and one-night hotel stay in Dallas, where the championship takes place this October 6. take note that the cities we listed earlier are just the first batch – drop by again as the list gets updated with more venues. Or, if you’re keen on casting your vote, drop by the MGC official site for details (the read link).
