Casuals this week WILL NOT be at GrandLan. Smurf will be hosting casuals instead which means no venue fee! This will also serve as a housewarming party so be sure to make it out.

Last, but not least we would like to thank Swifty for his donation of the two Xbox 360′s to the group. It’s selfless acts like this that show how tightly knit our community really is. Thanks Swifty!

Be sure to hit the forums and our Facebook group page to stay current with group happenings.

Lets avoid the “I hope your ______ was ______.” formalities and cut straight to the chase. A lot has happened since the year started so here’s a quick run down of the action.

Frosty Faustings IV was on the 7^th of this month. First place went to MCZ|MRN Wolfkrone. However, a couple of local players placed in the tournament as well. Holden ‘Holdy’ Isom took 9th place, while Ben ‘OctopusOnFire’ Wilson took 10^th. The tournament stream was archived; so if you’re patient you can see them in action. Octopus also did a review of the tournament on The Fighters Alliance website.

On the 14^th our very own Slappy participated in what was supposed to be a Michigan Vs. Illinois 5v5 tournament at Experience Points in Elkhart, IL. While the tournament was plagued with last minute cancellations and an impending snow storm Slappy still attended; and even took 3^rd in the tournament.

Lastly (almost done) we have the upcoming events for the next couple of weeks. Keep in mind that these events will be posted on the GrapSF calendar, and updates will be posted when needed.

• Jan. 21^st – GRRanbats 4.3
• Feb. 18^th- Elkhart vs Kalamazoo 5v5: The Beginning

That’s it for now; if we missed anything or you would like your event posted on the main site or calendar just private message Natetendo64 in the forums.

The next 2 Saturdays are Christmas Eve and New Years Eve, so we won’t be having our regularly scheduled events on those days (venue is probably closed anyway).

The next casual will be on January 7th and the next GRRanbat will probably be on January 14th January 21st.

See you next year, and happy holidays!
