Pretty sure the ABC MSL is real
Fomos' April Fools seems to be that they're opening an English Site. If that's not an intended joke then it will become an unintended joke anyway so not a big deal :3

it would be nice if they did though,but then your role would be diminished.
hmmm,well its a good sponsor as long as they don't play the Jackson 5's ABC song for the MSL.

Might be real, but I'm confused by the fact that this OP was made by a fan of ABC Game Hero...

Edit: I wonder if they'll be giving out free shoes at the MSL ceremony.

I confirm on my rep that this is true.

O god... dat logo...
Impeccable timing on the post :D
