Power Glove Full Results Coming Soon: Shout Outs and Thank Yous

August 28th, 2011 by G-Boobie

We’ll be posting the full brackets for the first Michigan Power Glove Tournament very soon, but before that, I’d like to thank a few very specific people for their contributions to making the organizational side a success:

Aaron “CommanderofYomi” Frankhouse, that wildest of Tagers, for being an awesome partner and holding it down in BlazBlue;

Eric “LazarusReturns” Frankhouse for sparking this whole thing in the first place, for excellent beer, and for tiny plastic Blanka;

James “Yojimbo” Harris, for being the workhorse of MPGT and representing Jax all the way to third place;

Ian “Epic Vandal” White, for holding down the brackets, the dopest hipster sandwich ever, and being an all around great guy;

Matt “Slappy” Meade, founder and High Grand Poobah of GRAPSF.com for making the stream a reality and lending his support;

Brandon “Swifty McQuik” Poeder for the set up assistance, bracket assistance, and incredible shirt.

Thanks go out to all the players, and to GrandLAN for being an incredible venue and to Gamerati.com for being an incredible source of random connections, toys, and Founders Beer. Thanks to everyone who attended, and to everyone else: we’ll see you next time!
