SeeKer is strictly in the SC2 afaik. This apparently was some Head of Operations guy either for MLG or from Azubu I think Phreak mentioned at the end(?)

We're paying him $100 to punch someone in the face on stage and write a blog about it.
It's an SC2 LR thing.

Something along the lines of: "A lot of people say there's a difference because of things like gaming houses and everything. However, I think when you look at the details much more closely, it's not as big as people say or think it is. I think a lot of the matter comes down to who is more prepared and in better form on the actual day itself."

By the way that MidKing AMA was confirmed fake, haha.

i can't find vods for this at MLG or elsewhere, anyone know where i can watch?

And yeah, Helios was just like "really no team is that much better than any of the others, it's not like the gaming houses are OP or anything, it's just a matter of which teams come the most prepared and don't underestimate any of their opponents."

WOW, did blaze really beat sword O.o??? this is what i get when i choose to go shopping instead of watching lol.

Blaze pulled it together, and it seemed sword kinda fell apart at the same time. Also Shy stepped up again.
