Audition Mid Year Mini EB

Audistas!!! I was really amazed on the number of gamers who attended the event that we had last July 19, 2007 at the EGG (Extreme Gaming Ground) - Mall of Asia. Tho it was a weekday - Thursday to be exact, almost 150 Audistas came. The area that we had was not even enough for all the gamerz who came, also I would like to extend my thanks to some Ranatics and Jammers who came to visit.

To all who attended the Audition Mid Year Mini EB @ the EGG - Mall of Asia.... Thank you so so so so so so so so so much much much much in behalf of the E-games family.

I only had a week to prepare for the Event, I started coordinating July 13, 2007 - Friday, our events team were all out of the office till the Tuesday of the following week. So I really had to work on my own, surveying for the venue, coming up with the program, raffle, promo and tournament that "you" Audistas will enjoy.

I was very thankful to Miss Edz Villafuerte the president of the Pussyfierz Club and Mr. Firelli Curioso the President of the Exoduz Club, for they are the ones who helped me to come up with the best venue and program for the event. they also took the initiative to invite all their members and other clubs as well....... So to Miss Edz and Mr. Firelli, thank you so much, without your help, the Mini EB would not have been as successful as we known it to be.

Till Tuesday, our events team were back in the office from other events that they had the week before. So i got really alot of help from them, from all the manpower, advertising collaterals, area mapping, venue reservations etc... And it also so happen that we had T3 visitors coming to visit, it was the perfect timing that we are coming up with an EB Event. We can have the chance to show them the Audition Filipino Community.

From the news of the coming visit, our PR agency thought of having a press conference with T3 Korea and E-games Philippines. It was good idea on our side, but the venue that they choose for the press conference was the same venue on the Mini EB Event. The decision added tension on me and the events team, the press will be in the venue, everything needed to be press perfect.

The big day came, Thursday morning, I can't pray hard enough that we hope to fill the place, that it wont be very embarrassing to our visitors and the press. So @ 3pm our team already started preparing, dressing up the whole place, setting the press room, registration table, posters, tarps, the gaming arena till 5:30 PM.

Everything was all set, except for the most important aspect of the event, not all the PCs had been path with the latest updated Audition path that T3 brought with them. The PCs were not ready till 6:30 PM and really delayed the event, it was a big patch containing alot of updates, when the Audistas saw from the big screen lighted the event with their cheers of excitement and officially started the event.

As part of our program we had an In Game Tournament, the Night 4 Direction (8) Challenge the Winner. This is a new format that we did for the tournament, and to our surprise, Team #3 had been sitting in their PCs since their turn till an hour and beating off 13 other teams they were so tired but they emerged as the winners and took home each the limited Imation USB 256MB Baller Band and a 30 day costum set of their choice.

Also we gave aways alot of x2 EXP and DEN cards, Audition Merchandise : Audition T-Shirt, Audition Jacket, Audition Goodie bags and alot of DEN.

To all the winners: "Congratulations and Keep It UP!!!"
