Pretty excited about that, actually the fact that the worlds most gamers come together for playing Max Payne 3 sounds pretty amazing. And on top of all that ... the whole, or maybe just parts of the event will be televised online right before the game launches. Awesome, hopefully you get a way picture then what the multiplayer looks like, I'm really interested in the customization stuff so I hope that this will be featured in the televised version, coming soon to the Rockstar Newswire. I'll keep myself updated by keeping a close eye on Rockstars twitter account, where they announced to keep us up-to-date with the event and will also proved some glimpses of it, whether in form of pictures or short videos, teaser videos, I don't know. Just 9 days to go for the first official launch, starting with the States. The MLG members must be proud to have the chance to play Max Payne 3 multiplayer for all that time now. Should be great and exciting times.

Maybe Desdelian has posted the same picture, but in case the link of it doesn't seem to work, I just felt like posting it in here another time. Enjoy!
