Hi guys, this is Ted from ESFI. Since our coverage thread from MLG Anaheim was so well received, I figured I would collate as much of our content here as I can. I recommend also following our Twitter, Event page, and Youtube throughout the weekend for continued coverage as they might be updated prior me updating this thread.

Enjoy.

Really enjoy the varied perspectives you guys are getting. It gets tiresome to get the same answers from the same pros in very interview. Loving these semi-pro stuff!

Holy shit. Really nice coverage. Listening to the interview right now.

It's your job to have all angles covered AG. Not the other way around. Comes down to micromanagement.

Respect line of authority and their business practices.

Is there any way to get these images in a higher res? Or are they taken at that resolution?

Would be cool to have some of them as wallpapers.

AG even said it folks.

You don't want a player that doesn't want to be on your team. Exactly coach Lee's stance as well. So, this buyout and the fact you think he would never let it happen is nonsense. Conflict of interest or not, they want to get rid of them if they are unhappy.

I believe so, I think our photographer just shrunk them down so they were smaller in size and more easily uploaded. I'll check with her and see what we can do.
