The Midnight Gaming
Championship is the
first competition of its
kind, giving gamers
the chance to show off
their skills at a variety
of games for a chance
to win cash and prizes.
MGC is the brainchild of
Jeff Gross, the President
and founder of the Video
Gamers League. VGL is one
of the largest video game
leagues in the country and has put
together some of the best competitions
to date. Players of all skill levels are encouraged to come
out and compete.
McDonald’s was the title sponsor of MGC, along with
a who’s who of well-known companies like Coca Cola,
G4TV, and Best Buy. MGC featured Tekken 5, Guitar Hero,
and NCAA 07 competitions on the PS2. The qualifiers took
place over nine weeks, with the top twenty-four winners
going forward to the Championship. The Adrenaline
Gaming Zone, through a close relationship with Rockstar
Games, was able to add Rockstar Games Presents Table
Tennis to the semi-final tournament. There was an open
competition for anyone who wanted to compete at the
finals, which were held in the private Diamond Club at
Ameriquest Field.
The sponsors put up the following prizes for champions:
• a $1,000 Best Buy Gift Card
• an Xbox 360, courtesy of GameZnFlix

Rockstar Games Presents Table Tennis
Don’t sell this game short, or you’ll miss out on one of the most addictive games for
the Xbox 360. The competition used a college basketball-type elimination bracket of
sixteen players, each going for a best two out of three wins in order to advance. The
winner from the previous week’s tournament at the semifinals suffered a surprise
defeat to F-minus, who moved on to the finals to face “puppy,” an eight-year-old girl
who’s so good that it was scary. Once F-minus figured out puppy’s strategy he made
pretty quick work of her, though, and took the title for that game. His winnings included
apparel and a $100 Best Buy card from Rockstar Games. Adrenaline Gaming Zone added a
bonus Game Face faceplate for the Xbox 360 courtesy of Nyko Technologies.
Tekken 5
Dozens of players turned out for Tekken, including some of the best
players in the world like Hatman and Unkonkable. The tournament
was speechless when new players like Crow, Jinmaster and DJ
Kor pulled off completely new moves. The final match was a
“best of seven” brawlfest. Christopher Villarreal, aka Crow,
won the championship undefeated by spanking Rene Maistry,
aka DJ Kor, to claim his $2500 in cash and prizes.
Guitar Hero
A lot of the players in the finals, like Forge Fanatic, were
actually real-life musicians, and it showed. The final
battle was between JW McNay, aka JW2, and
Kevin Creadick, Musa, playing to songs like “No
One Knows” on Expert difficulty. The bass was
thumping and the crowd was going like it was
a concert. JW2 walked away the victor, with
the $2500 in cash and prizes including the
autographed Guitar Hero controller.
NCAA 07 Football
NCAA 07 Football: This came in strong with a
huge following of dedicated gamers. Games were
long and full of trash talk from the competitors.
Vistoth Am, aka The Punisher, took home the
big prize of $2500 in cash and prizes after
going undefeated and
besting runner-up
JimmyDee.
