QFT :(

i need to learn my internet acronyms.

QFT = quoted for truth lol

epic beginning to mlg :). Every game so far has been really really good
MC fighting! :D

I haven't managed to watch any of the games but I've seen IdrA's results and they are very impressive Oo

I didn't get to see the first match of the day but every other one has been really good :D, the atmosphere just seems amazing there

The IdrA vs MC game was just amazing. Game 2 was realllllllly good.

Also keep an eye out for JulyZerg. Hasn't dropped a game in the Open Bracket ;).

lol well clearly an s class player shouldn't be losing to scrubs :D
except well TT1 lost in an upset to some random zerg.
is it just me or does all the streams now say that there are "no streams" anymore. I can't seem to get onto any of them. Maybe it might just be me because I'm using internet from the state library but..I hope its not because of that.

Edit: nevermind, clearly it's the library internet

any1 got the links for the open bracket and results from the group play? I can't seem to find them on the MLG site T.T

where can i watch these vods?

Im under the impression that vods are released when MLG finishes

MMA is so fucking good :D

i predicted MMA winning...just saying =D

Man, I wasted my entire weekend watching the stream non-stop from like 10:00 AM 'till Midnight or so.
Was soooo worth it.


Highlight was Greg wtf gg'ing + MMA's reaction afterwards.
And the Greg + MC drama.

The MC cutthroat motion followed by the epic thumbs-down was the highlight of the event for me :D
What happened: MC just got finished smashing ThorZaiN and to celebrate, he walks down into the crowd to give some of his fans some high-fives, then walks over where IdrA is sitting, points at him, then does a cutthroat motion. He then extends his hand out and then thumbs down at him :D

First shot:


Second shot (different angle)


EPIC!

2nd clip edit was fucking hilarious! MC - what a jerk! lol. Invincible in his shiny jacket.

I love how he walks back and you kind of expect him to be taller but when he hops up onto the stage he looks so short and chubby rofl. Some serious badassery right there though :D
