After roughing up my friends consistently and taking their money in Madden 2013, I recently had a dream: square off against the best Madden gamers in the country and walk away victoriously. When I awakened I was convinced it was time to branch out and expand my talents. I randomly went online seeking local tournaments yet again and again my search didn't render any results. But like Morpheus in "The Matrix," Atlgamersociety.com found me and invited me to his upcoming Madden Tournament on January 28th. It wasn't quite a white rabbit, but our e-mail correspondence sufficed and my journey to become "The One" began.
The scene on that Monday was the realization of the vision I had. It was a dimly lit room with only the bright lights of digital figures emulating from the flat screens. Heavy baselines and melodies that glared from the speakers in the room would inevitably serve as hype music for Madden battle.
Men of different walks and long travels gathered that night in Atlanta with desires to capture the big money prize. With an online, pre registration fee/$10 extra at the door, gamers also had the option at side betting,personal cash games, and "buy back ins." In one scenario, there was a $400 game being played with a $100 sidebet that coincided. Cats came in the door with envelopes entailed with hundreds, they weren't playing around! #Stacks
As much as I would love to play Neo and be the hero in this story, I didn't prove to be "The One" that night. "Charley 25k",affectionately dubbed "Kaepernick" from an Alabama "Madden Crew" inevitably won the whole thing.
Losing always sucks but I cant say I didn't have a good time. The ambiance at this undisclosed Madden location was awesome and comfortable which really makes it conducive for a gamers inevitable success. To say the competition was good would both be an understatement and testament to my 21-6 loss (Beware, there were a lot of same team matchups i.e. "SF vs SF." And I lost my game due to a "hold bowl" so each possession is imperative).
There weren't too many console issues, with the one guy who preferred XBox360 using his 360 controller via the PS3 converter. All in all it gave me chance to see what awaits me out there and what I need to work on. I'll be ready next time, when in March it'll be TENTATIVELY a $100 entry fee for a chance at $2500 guaranteed.
