Woo! Surprising entrants, but great choices! I look forward to seeing them compete in Starbow. Never seen Alicia play it I believe, but saw MMA on Crank's stream, and he looked very impressive.

Those are perhaps the most charming photos I've seen of MMA and Alicia, nice job! Very much looking forward to seeing Alicia play, only one of the lineup I haven't seen play Starbow yet. Just Ryung and maybe TheSTC left to announce, unless Crank is playing and casting.

They all play the same race they do in SC2, I assume Alicia will stick with Protoss too.

I think we're all missing the real point here. Olivia has the most adorable handle in eSports.

I mean, Olimoley? That's totes adorbs. Totes magoats adorbzzzzzzzzz in fact.

I think Axiom is probably the way of the future to be honest. Their players are great, maybe not the highest of the top tier, but they're fantastic players and can do well against the absolute best of the best. They have great team synergy which I think personally is more important than the individual skill (I personally think teamleagues are the way to garner interest in the pro scene). They're happy! That's a huge plus, they're always so upbeat. They do stuff that is fun and does not conform to anyone else's ideals...

I mean, you can disagree, I'm cool with that, and welcome the opinion that I'm wrong in my assessment, but I think Axiom is doing it right. They're appealing to the foreign crowd despite being an entirely Korean team, and I can only hope that other teams start to do similar things.

Thanks Genna and TB for the team, thanks Olimoley for co-managing things, and thanks to all the players and their friends and housemates that make Axiom a wonderfully fresh take on eSports. Thanks to all their sponsors (love my WASD), and thanks to Axiom supporters on TL and abroad. You do good stuff.

That's probably why people usually just call me Olivia

Once again I hope you guys will tune in on Sunday, Jan 26 10:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00). The last player will be (T)

Heart!

The tournament will feature a webcam facing the player's practice room so you can see all their reactions if they win (or lose). In addition, all the VODs will be uploaded on Youtube.

Oh did one player not want do participate? Initially there were 6 white pictures. Nonetheless, this looks like a very funny tournament and I'll certainly try to tune in for a few games, though the broadcast time isn't optimal for Europe but I guess there is always a place which has that problem.
