Group brackets for MLG Fall Championship released!

OMG!

Group Play Brackets for MLG Dallas 2012

At first glance Group C looks like the "group of death" with top korean killer nerds TaeJa and Life in it. TaeJa vs. Life isn't exactly a bad match to open the MLG Group Play up with either.

Our Danish hero BabyKnight has been placed in Groub B alongside NaNiWa, TheStC, Grubby, Hwangsin and 1 of 4 proleague players (Flash, Soo, Soulkey or Hyvaa).

These 5 players will be joined by 2 of the 8 players that makes it through Open Bracket.

Anyway, we can't wait to see BabyKnight in action in his first MLG.

His game against NaNiWa especially will be quite epic.

Recently we stalked NaNiWa on twitter and noticed him writing the following.

Even though it's just twitter and probably said in fun, it still seems pretty obvious that NaNiWa doesn't consider BabyKnight to be a Starcraft mastermind.

We sincerely hope that BabyK can prove NaNiWa otherwise and crush him in their PvP clash.

BabyKnight has qualified for the MLG Fall Championship in Dallas

Apparently BabyKnight has qualified for the MLG Fall Championship in Dallas alongside Grubby and Daisy.

The three players achieved top three in the European qualifier and they will all be given "all expenses paid" trips to the event along with a seed into group play.

Congratulations to all three of them and especially our danish hero BabyKnight who impressively managed to defeat both Thorzain, Nerchio and SortOf in the online qualifier.

We can't wait to see how he does in his first MLG!

MLG Summer Arena - SPOILERS

The MLG Summer Arena is over and all there is to say is a big fat congratulations to Taeja.
His victory was well-deserved and he was easily the player that impressed us the most throughout the event. His control with his ghosts and drops in the final series against Alicia gave us lots of nerdy goose bumps. Actually come to think of it Taeja used ghosts in every set against Alicia didn't he? That's how we remember it right now anyway.

Our favorite game of the event however, was Stephano vs. Ryung in the loser's bracket round 4. This BO3 series was so freaking tense. Both were fighting so hard to stay in the tournament.
The third game was insane and we thought both players had it in the bag like 4 times, and every time the other player came back. There were brilliant and poor engagements from both, but the excitement in the entire game was so nail biting. Just watch it man!

Another great pleasure throughout the tournament was watching the games of IMFirst. His great play surprised us a bit, and he just seemed to have an excellent overall game sense in every math we watched.

All in all a really cool event although a few more toplevel foreigners might have helped if the Koreans were to be challenged. The only ones that ever really stood a chance were Sase and Stephano and they didn't really have it in them to go all the way this weekend. Even though Stephano played great as usual in almost every game.

Day 1 of MLG Summer Arena

Watch out for SPOILERS below:

A lot of people are saying that the difference in skill between foreigners and Koreans is decreasing, but day 1 of the MLG Summer Arena certainly didn't support this theory.
Overall most Koreans had a very easy time winning their games. Only big surprise was perhaps that Welmu defeated EGPuma, but Pumas play hasn't been super impressive lately.
Generally LiquidTaeja impressed us the most. Especially his beautiful use of Ghosts (perfect EMPs and Snipes) against Welmu.
Unfortunately the Scandinavian hope SaSe lost to LosirA in round 2, but SaSe didn't play his best games and we still feel he has a good chance of going far in the tournament through the loser's bracket.
A lot of great games coming up. We are hoping for a Hero vs. Stephano match in round 6 of bracket 1 and a Taeja vs. Alive in round 6 of bracket 2.
