TL is on location at MLG Washington DC! You can follow our updates on the TL Twitter or below.
Day 1 Recap by heyoka
The first day is over, and the field has been narrowed to just 24. Several of the favorites are still looking good to take it all, the winner's bracket is currently stocked with talent. Those at 3-0 include Tyler, IdrA, drewbie, qxc, as well as last MLG's finalists HuK and Kiwikaki. Notables fighting their way through the loser's bracket include Gretorp, Incontrol, TT1, Slush, Select, Lzgamer, Ret, Kawaiirice, and White-Ra. You can check out the brackets here and here to see who your favorite will face in the morning.
Noteworthy games:
- LastShadow apparently plays zerg for ZvP and ZvT, and racepicks T against zerg. After IdrA shut him down quickly in game 1, he won game 2 by thor dropping the natural at 12 oclock. It briefly looked as if he may take game 3 with 2 hidden barracks, but ended with him saying "gg you're sick good" after IdrA scouted the proxy just in time to stop the marine/marauder push.
- White-Ra vs Kiwikaki game 1, Kiwi opened with DTs and was stopped 1 hit shy of killing Ra's nexus. Ra came back into the game, only to have several DTs warped into his base thanks to a pylon on low ground, and after they finished off his nexus it turned into a huge last stand with all of his probes and army vs Kiwi's probes and army. Kiwi won by the thinest of margins thanks to good forcefield use.

That thing probably had a naming ceremony.
I dub thee Sir Zebra the n00b killa, long may you reign and may your rule be as unholy as it is vengeful.

I can't make out the manufacturer, anyone know where to get one like that? The color scheme is very smart.

Bahahahahahah Tyler's face. He looks like someone just cannon-rushed him.

He probably just replaced keys from extras keys for that keyboard or the other color option of that keyboard.

I seriously doubt IdrA has to look at the keyboard to play. =P It's probably just because it looks cool.
