Xbox 360 Crash halts Major League Gaming win



Imagine the scene, you are a professional gamer and gaming is your
life. You are just seconds away from a victory in a tournament, however
the host Xbox 360 just suddently CRASHES on you and renders your near
certain victory void. And that's exactly what happened to one unlucky
pro gamer.

Major League Gaming held its Halo 3 National Championship in Orlando,
Florida this weekend. Seeded first, many believed that the team
Triggers Down would win the championship for the third year in a row,
but they never got the chance. They would have at least advanced past
the semi-finals had an Xbox 360 not malfunctioned in the closing
seconds of a match in which Triggers Down was about to defeat Classic.
Classic lost to Believe The Hype in the finals.

Playing Halo CTF, Triggers Down had all 4 team members of Classic dead,
and only had to turn in the flag in order to win the match and proceed
ot the next bracket. But just as the player Heinz was about to turn it
in, the hosting Xbox froze up. According to MLG rules, when there is a
hardware failure of any kind, the entire round is eligible for a
replay. In the do-over, Classic beat Triggers Down by a score of 5-2
and advanced.
