Evan Tylenda: Let me start by saying thank you to AGC for having this tournament and to my team for a job well done.

Ghost Attack, also known as Evan Tylenda, is the leader of Over Time, one of the very best teams in this AGC season.

Evan Tylenda: Let me start by saying thank you to AGC for having this tournament and to my team for a job well done.

GGL Wire: First, congrats on winning the AGC Bracket Qualifier and Elite Forces Final Bracket, and placing second in the Ladder Qualifier. You guys have compiled a pretty impressive record over the course of the season — how’d you do it?

Tylenda: Thank you very much. I have been playing Halo 2 ever since it came out and have played it competitively for over two years, so I think that we had a lot more experience than most of the other teams. (more…)

Let’s break down the winners by game:

By far the most interactive and visceral demo station here at DigitalLife is the America’s Army area tucked in the corner of the convention hall. Called the Virtual Army Experience, groups of attendees are ushered in, registered, tagged, and placed in a real-life situation with real-life weapons — only instead of bullets, everything is laser sighted. I had a chance to not only stop by the booth, but take part in the entire experience myself.

This was right before a scheduled AGC match with Gentho, which unfortunately ended in a loss for Khufu. He’s still the points leader, however, and enthusiastic about his chances in these and future tournaments.

Mahmood: Let’s get your name and age first and any short introduction about yourself.
