The Mid-Atlantic Gigabit Innovation Collaboratory (MAGIC), along with organizers Tables and Towers and Save Point, are pleased to announce the success of the first annual Good Game Fest that took place this past weekend at TownMall of Westminster. 

“The success of this event shows the interest that our region has in Esports,” says Kim Samuelson, MAGIC’s Program Director. “This, in combination with Westminster’s gigabit fiber network, shows the potential our community has to be a regional Esports hub.”
