One of the biggest console gaming tournament organizations is moving into the PC game tournament space. Major League Gaming just announced plans to start up the MLG PC Circuit and has wisely decided to use the biggest current PC multiplayer game World of Warcraft as its basis.

The plan is to begin at the MLG's San Diego tournament on June 13-15 and use Blizzard's MMO World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade for players with a total of over $20,000 in cash to be given out to the winners. The MLG will use HP's Blackbird 002 PCs as their tournament systems. World of Warcraft tournament swill also be held later in the year in Orlando and Dallas and more PC games could be added in the future to the circuit. With the recent shut down in operations for the PC based Cyberathlete Professional League and the World Series of Video Games, it's good news that Major League Gaming is recognizing that there is a large PC gaming tournament market that is currently underutilized in this country.
