Penny Arcade announces Omeganauts for PAX
In years past, the final round of PAX has been interesting to say the least. In 2004, Sean Celaya defeated Kevin Potter in a game of Pong. Luke “Coreside” Armstrong defeated Will “LeRoy” Garroutte by a single point to win the best-of-three series in the Atari 2600 gam,e Combat in 2005. The following year, Returning Omeganaut Will “LeRoy” Garroutte defeated David “Davertron” Davis in the final round of the Omegathon: Tetris. Last year the crowd roared with delight as the Mini Bosses set the stage for the final round by playing the theme song from the Halo series, as Ryan “Accalon” Zack beat Ben “MNC Dover” Gray in Halo 3 combat.
What will the final round of Pax 2008 be? Only Pax organizers know… and they’re not telling.
Here’s a look at this years participants and the five round journey they will have to take to make it to the final round and to be crowned, Pax Omeganaut 2008.
