Gaming event Auckmageddon is back once again, and thanks to Orcon with Vector fibre, connected to the Internet at ridiculously fast speeds.

Auckmageddon 6 is actually the seventh event of a series that has been running since 1997, and will see up to 400 gamers compete at the North Harbour Stadium for over 48 hours in February.

Event organizer Richard Patterson says: “We had such a fantastic response from the previous events that we’re back with even more prizes, bigger network, and even faster internet.”

“We want to make sure that the event is fun – too many gaming events become super serious and lose the enjoyment element.”

Tournaments will include game favourites such as Team Fortress 2, Counter-strike as well as new ones, Battlefield 3 and Starcraft 2.

Gamers compete for a range of awesome prizes sponsored by Compulink, Orcon, Alienware, Mighty Ape, Red Bull and more.
