The big event for the week at COMPLEX 2010 was our newly created NBA 2K15 Tournament. Initially, I wasnt supposed to be at COMPLEX, or Chicago for that matter. I was supposed to be in Milwaukee celebrating my 7 year olds birthday. But my baby mama shifted the day of the event, which freed me up for Sunday. Cayex and Merk were glad to see me because they needed someone to make sure that the event stayed organized. Who better to make sure that the event stayed organized, than the person who organized it!. (ME!)
The event started at about 6pm. It originally was scheduled to have started at 3pm, but the Bears game was changed to 3pm, and there was no WAY that anyone would be willing to play while the Monsters of the Midway were playing the Georgia Dirty Birds. It was an assumption on my end, but I assumed correctly because no one was willing to come any sooner.
Drinks were served by Elementz Emcee, and for those that didn't want any alcohol, there were a few cases on Monster Energy drinks that we had on deck for our late night shifts.
20 invitees showed up, and were very glad to contribute the $50 dollar entry fee. 3 television monitors were set up in 3 separate parts of the complex. Teams were selected from a pool of the 16. The 1st round eliminated 8 teams, 2nd round eliminated 4, 3rd round eliminated 2...and then there was only 2.
One shall stand...one shall fall!
And indeed there was a victor! @Mr_4thQuarter beat Merk in a hard fought game between the Heat and the Bulls, and gladly accepted his $500 prize. A few people stated that I had made them aware that the prize pot was for $1,000. No sir! I stated that the prize was UP TO $1,000. The devil is ALWAYS in the details! But please believe that @Mr_4thQuarter had no reservations with accepting the prize. If this game was an omen to the things that are to come, then the Bulls will scrap and scrape their way to a victory over the Heat.
