Here is my very first article I wrote for Old School Gamer Magazine’s website back on October 31, 2017. I have loved working with OSG and continue to contribute to the website and the physical magazine.

If you are in the Chicagoland area and want some good time Video Game tournament fun,  the Tourney Blast is a place you must visit.   Just opened this Month,  Tourney Blast is a great place to enjoy competitive gaming with prizes and the excitement of the Sports feeling.    With games Like Madden ’18 and NBA 2K18,  the professional team that works at Tourney Blast will have all the equipment ready for you and have you competing in no time.    You may bring your own controllers if you wish,  but all the hardware is provided.   If you are not up for competing in the tournaments,  you are still more than welcome to come in and spectate and root on your favorite competitor.
