November 18 Declared As Major League Gaming Day In Providence, Rhode Island

In honor of the first time that anyone under 50 has been excited to go to Providence, Rhode Island, Mayor Taveras has declared November 18th Major League Gaming Day. The day is meant to commemorate the National MLG Championships which are being held there from Nov 18-20.

“The 2011 Pro Circuit has been the most action-packed, exciting season in both MLG and e-sports history," said Sundance DiGiovanni, CEO, Major League Gaming. He continues, "Our National Championships will continue to deliver some of the most entertaining match-ups of all time,”
