anything but not a mirror MU but HuK vs Kiwi would be ok since they did some great PvP against each other in MLG

I want to know what days the American Finals are occurring. I'd like to go down to NYC to see them, But can only go for one day. So I'd prefer to go on the days the actual final is happening.

Probably going to watch as much as I humanly can because I'm a total whore for this stuff, but I'm really interested in seeing all the non-mirrors

Looking at the initial schedule there is matches taking place all three days, Oct 8th-10th. Basic rule of thumb; Two group of four (overall 8 players) play on Friday, Semifinals play Saturday and 3rd place game and Finals on Sunday. Hope this helps...
