Shortly after noon, on July 3rd, The eBash in Bloomington hosted a Halo 3 tournament. This was the first Halo 3 tournament in a while, and the competitors were very eager to prove themselves once the sixteen teams all arrived at the scene.
The games were all very impressive, and the format made hosting the matches easy to run through. Team Slayer on The Pit seemed to be the favorite game choice during the tournament, and I can't blame them. That provides teams with a great chance to show

When we began to set up for the tournament, we planned to have a full thirty-two teams at each store. Imagine our surprise when we only had nineteen teams at Terre Haute and only eight teams at our Bloomington location. Perhaps this is because we had such an amazing turnout for the Halo 3 tournament last weekend.
It was a great sight to see everyone eagerly waiting outside eBash’s doors early in the morning. It’s great to see some familiar faces show up at these tournaments, such a
