11:00 AM - Its Saturday morning and here we are at MLG Orlando. In a dark ballroom, lit only by the monitors and tv’s displaying this year’s most competitive 360 titles, hundreds of people prepare for virtual battle. We’re waiting for our turn to sit down and shoot our first bullet of the day. I’m in the zone - the kind of focused adrenaline that sets apart assassins from civilians. Okay, well, maybe I am being a LITTLE dramatic. But no less, we’re couting down to round one. FD, how do you feel?

Psyche - I am feeling pretty good right now. I got a good amount of sleep so I should have energy to frag all day. Go FD!

Brookelyn -I’m waiting in line to get LAN play in before the tournament, but am disappointed to see there are only 4 stations dedicated to Rainbow.  It’s going to be a long day!!!

Valkyrie - Woot, I’m going to roll some noobs in a few minutes. Be glad it’s not you I’m going to make cry…

1:30 PM - We’ve played 2 teams so far in warm-up (Lost one, won one). But now that Rhoulette is here, we’ve got all of our pieces in place. It’s only a matter of time (very, very little time) until zero hour, so the pressure is on. Remember, Pyra, breathe deep and visualize the kill.

Reporting in from the front,
Pyra
