The console gaming scene looks to be heating up this April, as we pick up word of the plans for this year’s Major League Gaming (MLG) tour. The event will be labelled the Boost Mobile MLG Pro Circuit, and will start next week on April 13 (Friday), in Charlotte, North Carolina (NC).
This year’s MLG event is expected to churn out more than US$ 1 million in prizes and pro-gamer bonuses for the duration of the tour, making this the largest prize purse the tour has carried since the league’s founding in 2002.
In further news, the league has also announced that it will be adding a new game to its competition line up: Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six: Vegas game for the Xbox 360, published and developed by Ubisoft. In reaction to the news, MLG CEO Mike Sepso said, “We are thrilled that we can share the success of the League in the form of a record prize purse, and welcome Ubi to the Pro Circuit.”
