Pittco’s Iron Storm 6, March 17-18, 2007
I’ve finally got around to writing about Pittco‘s Iron Storm 6, held March 17-18, 2007.
It was a great event—one of Pittco‘s best parties (it’s held seven) yet.
Ask someone else about the CS tournament. I choose to ignore it.
The UT2k4 tournament was insane. More than 60 people signed up for it, so Obsidian had to hold free-for-all deathmatches in order to chop the field down to a bracket-able size. I, of course, shield cannon’d my way through the entire FFA, but ended up getting second to last in my server. I held fourth or fifth place (fourth was the lowest place to go onto the 1v1) for the first 10 minutes of the fifteen minute round, but others just kept on truckin’. The craziest thing is that, on another server, the first place player had more than 50 kills on top of the second place player—and it’s wasn’t perfecti0n, the guy who usually wins all of Pittco’s UT deathmatch tournaments.
I organized the BF2 tournament. It was kinda rocky, but there was a definite winner. We had three teams signed up, then one team lost at CS and left the LAN (argh). We played FuShe Pass and Dragon Valley, both on 16-player mode. I had a lot of fun organizing it, as well as playing in it.
We had a lot of prizes to give out. Ultra was a big sponsor. I’m pleased with their products, and actually use two of their cases and two of their power supplies.
IS 7 planning is already underway, and it’s going to be another good one. We’re getting even more organized, and that can only mean a better experience for both attendees and staff.
Sean:
I think perfecti0n, v1rt, cheerios, and Err0rz all had over 50 kills more than the next highest person.
perfecti0n didn’t die during the free-for-all. Cheerios died once. Not sure on the other two.
