MCC-wide gaming competition sponsored by MCC-Blue River Gamerz club

Anyone at Metropolitan Community College from any campus is invited to join the Gamerz club at MCC-Blue River for a friendly competition. The Gamerz are a loose knit organization devoted to creating a fun and inviting gaming environment. Their May 19 tournament will be set up to serve as many players as preregister.

The Gamerz club is offering prizes for first place wins in three games: Call of Duty: Block Ops, Halo: Reach, and Modern Warfare 2, three contagiously popular X-box 360 games at which most gaming aficionados have become expert competitors. All prize qualifying tournament sessions will be played one on one.

Contestants can register right up until 4 p.m. on May 19. The Gamerz club only asks participants to let them know before then to get an accurate head count.

Gamerz Club at MCC-Blue River active and growing

The Gamerz Club at Metropolitan Community College-Blue River has a great following and offers its members fun and well organized events. The club, under administrator Dee Mathison, offers students the opportunity to enjoy tournaments, on campus competitions, and casual gaming gatherings. The Gamerz Club held an event in the MCC-Blue River Campus Center on March 9, and had a great turn out. Dozens of members and passersby joined in.

The club’s mission statement says it all: “We are a group of gamers that believe in the power of the individual. We strive for improvement within each member, and take pride in our hobby as Gamerz. Meeting new colleagues and enjoying what life has to offer is what this club is about. Our club has one belief: the stereotype of the gaming community and its gamers are simple misinterpretations. Our goal: to change the views of the gaming stereotype that our club battles from day to day. Let’s get started… GAME ON!”
