Over at Shoot the Core, a small write up has been posted by Postman detailing his adventures at the Midwest Gaming Classic and the "The World's Greatest SHMUP Player" competition. The article breaks down the way the tournament was organized, and has a ton of great pictures to go along with the write up. When the smoke cleared, it seems that DJ Incompetent walked away the first place winner, and crowned the event's first ever champion. I'm a bit disappointed that I wasn't able to make the trip up to Wisconsin this year, but after seeing the details of the event I'm already thinking about penciling in my calendar a trip to next year's MGC. They stated that had over 100 competitors for the SHMUP tournament, so any amount of healthy competition is always a good thing. Congratulations to this year's winners.
