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!
The first Michigan Power Glove Tournament is brought to us by the gentlemen at Grand Rapids Street Fighter and Gamerati.com. Short notice, but what the Hell: lets make it the best we possibly can. (Discuss)

grapsf.com 2 year anniversary sticktoss from Matt Meade on Vimeo.
For the first time, grapsf.com met at Gamer Doc. Since we are bringing our own equipment now the cost to play was just $5 a day. Hopefully the new low price of gatherings will mean an increase in attendance, seems to be working so far judging by the great turnout we had Saturday!
The venue is great with the exception of some drunk guy touching my girlfriend and creeping her out. But I have alerted the staff that there will be a public beating next time so hopefully they deal with him.
Also painfully obvious was the fact that most of us would like to stay later than 9pm, hopefully they can do something for us there. I would hate to stop playing here just on account of that one thing.
