One player at a time! Sleep is back to go for his third straight Rundown championship, but viOLet is also back from his 6th place finish at the MLG Winter Arena and we may finally get to the see the match up we have all been looking forward to. If these 2 heavy hitter Zergs meet up in the final it could not only decide the undisputed champion of the Rundown but could also be a possible look at things to come when both players will see each other at the Lone Star Clash next month in Texas. Tune in this week to see if sleep and viOLet will meet in the finals or if Gosu STX will get his revenge on sleep. This week is all about new blood to the Rundown as all but STX, viOLet, Aurora and Sleep are new to the field. Convergence offers up Fitzhere, visionary Gaming offers up Alkresh, Team aiR adds Absolute, and infused may sacrifice Stjar.

Not denying it, but he is a troll. So soon I'm sure he'll graduate to being a real stalker.

No doubt. I imagine he doesn't normally stim all his marines to kill creep tumours
Other than the stimming though it was really impressive play.

Thank you. We'll make sure the next time he comes out, he'll play like a baws. We'll work on his nerve issue
