Video gamers and others from around the community are invited to gather Saturday in the Black and Gold Room at 1 p.m. for a full night of gaming with others at TigerLan. The bi-annual event is hosted by the Advanced Technology Student Organization at FHSU and admission is free. The event will run until 3 a.m.

According to Senior Trey Lynd, there will be several competitions throughout the night including Call of Duty Tournament, Super Smash Brothers and Minecraft Tournaments.  Winners will receive a variety of prizes, including gift cards and cans of Monster Energy drinks, which were donated by community sponsors, including Eagle Communications.

“For the PC games, you will need to have your own machine, but there will be projectors and consoles set up for the console tournaments,” Lynd said. “There are always people that are looking to get on a team, so no worries if you come without one.”

Lynd said they have also set up a Team Speak server to talk to people throughout the night. Within the server, there will be several different channels for certain games.

Proceeds from the event will be used for trips to potential employers such as Google and IBM and to attend network security competitions and conferences.
