 Well, and it's only its second year that Giga's own gaming championships, your hundreds to Bemidji Sanford Center and this week's community spotlight or Josh Peterson shows us what changes and additions were made this year's event. It had all the comforts of home within a large tournament atmosphere. The second annual Paul Bunyan Communications Giga's own gaming championship brought gamers together for a one of a kind regional gaming competition. With this only being the second year of the event, significant changes were made to provide more games and amenities for its spectators and competitors. Games. So we've got a lot more, you know, obviously arcade style gaming. And then we've added just a different variety of open gaming. Last year, we were a little bit more limited on what games people could play. And this year, I want to say there's about nine or 10 different games you can play on a variety of consoles. In just its second year, the Giga's own gaming championship has added some of the latest and greatest in online gaming. However, if that's not for you, you can take a blast to the past playing games like Mrs. Pac-Man and Pinball. While many were at the Samford Center to compete, others were there to live out a fantasy and dress up as their favorite gaming characters, offering something for kids of all ages. It's young kids all the way up to, you know, I mean, we have people here 50, 60 years old and it's fun because it brings all ages together. While the event was all fun and games, there was also a strong sense of intense competition. At the center of the two-day championship was the League of Legends tournament, where competitors battled it out against each other online and on giant screens for all to see. But for last year's winner, months of preparation went into play. Yeah, just screaming, playing some solo queue flags together, you know, trying to play as much as we can, talking about strategies that we can bring out and trying to get our champion pools, you know, just really try to work on strategy this year so that we can keep the championship. Overall, the competition is about community and showcasing Paul Bunyan Communications IT and web development team, which custom built and integrated much of the online technology and leverages the speed of the giga zone. There's a lot of components that go into online gaming, but really your connection to the world is extremely important. But this week's community spotlight in Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News.
