September 25th and 26th, 2004 will go down in history as one of the crowning moments for the Ravenshield community here at TeamWarfare, or any community for that matter. Rallying together to support the 8 year old daughter of fallen community member Shawn "MacDaddy" Myers, this weekend brought together 42 teams, 300+ competitors, 20+ Sponsors, and an entire community to participate in the first ever MacDaddy Memorial Invitiational Tournament. The Tournament kicked off at 3:00 PM EST on Saturday, and continued for 10 straight hours, wrapping up at 11:00 PM EST with only 4 teams left standing:
Legends Never Die
Fast and Free
SMAK
Money Honey
Sunday brought even more excitement as these teams squared off against each other to see who was the best of the best, with the finals eventually pitting SMAK and Legends Never Die against each other for the championship. When the smoke finally cleared, it was SMAK who emerged victorious taking first place overall, Legend Never Die taking second, and Money Honey placing third.
Congratulations to everyone who took part in this weekends events. This entire event raised more than $1500 for MacDaddy's daughter and unexpectedly brought together an entire community of gamers. Some clans even returned to the game simply to compete, which shows just how great this community really is. Thanks to the many, many, people who worked tirelessly to make this event happen, and the amazing sponsors who donated over $1000 in prizes for tournament participants.
This tournament was truly one for the record books with amazing competition and good, clean, matches throughout. Congratulations to all the prize winners and to everyone who had a chance to play. I for one can't wait for the Next MMIT event!!
