We just returned home from yet another crazy journey to Phoenix, AZ. Instead of driving nearly 2000 miles like we did for EVO 2k11, we decided to ship our equipment over on two large pallets. Devastation, which is one of the largest gaming conventions in the United States packed in thousands of people in nearly 60,000 square ft. at the Phoenix convention center. There were tons of tournaments happening over the course of the 3 day event, from Street Fighter to Gears of War 3 to Rock, Paper, Scissors! Plenty of supporters attended, including Steel Series, Madcatz, Hori, Microsoft Store, Beyond Gaming & many more! Top players in the world gathered and competed for high stakes prizeing. Some tournament games were handing out 5k to the winner. If you missed Devastation 2011, you will have to make sure to attend next year!
