I don't know many Canadian SCII pros.

Oh wow, this is cool. How'd you get Microsoft to go for this, that's awesome! Yorkdale isn't far from where I live, maybe I'll swing by.

i really hope next time you guys have atleast 2 Live players next time.
It wasnt really fair to me to play live while my opponent got to play at home.

Trust me you would want to play at the microsoft's store . Cause it has more upload than anyone else in Canada. It clocks in at 100 download and 30 upload thats on the wifi, the hardline is 4 x that >.< .

well I got lag like a few times....just saying.
it wasn't the internet that really bothered. its harder to play live than the regular comfort of your home gaming space.
There is a reason why Flash uses a ruler pre-setting up.

I agree, this sounds very unfair, they should have at least allowed you to use a ruler so that you could play in comfort

On May 25th, eight players came to Anime North to decide who would take the 2013 ELITE Series: Season 1 Finals. The players had gone through six weeks of rank stage to earn the right to play at the finals, and by the end of the night only one player was left standing: Masa from team Root Gaming. Masa didn’t drop a game sweeping the feeder round, blasting through the semi finals 3-1, and finally dominating the grand finals against Hendralisk from Team Complexity.
It was a spectacular season, and we want to thank you for watching and following our event!
Congrats to Masa and We will see you for the 2013 ELITE Series: Season 2 coming soon.
