Abstract
This is a flyer for a video game tournament held at Star City Comics & Games in Roanoke, VA. These tournaments were run by members of the Roanoke-based anime fan group RoAnime Club. Joseph Yamine, the founder of MAGFest, was a member of RoAnime Club and helped run these tournaments; he credits them for inspiring the creation of the video game-focused anime convention Omakecon, which became MAGFest. According to Yamine, early MAGFest participants have retroactively described this tournament series at Star City Comics & Games as "MAGFest 0."
