For gamers in the know, this is the chance for spotlight and professional gaming contracts. If you think you’ve got the competitive skills for the PC and Xbox 360 games they’re offering, it’s the perfect time to prove yourself.

The tournament will play in a “double elimination” format during the Open, while the individual finals will happen during the 2nd day.
