Yeah didn't pick out Rain, interesting.

Should be some sick games with those two in the mix though, so I'm not complaining.

Hey admin --

Rain is stuck in Raleigh NC at MLG. His flight got cancelled, and the only flight he has available will have him landing on the 30th. I hope he will be back in time for his match, but please be a bit understanding due to this unfortunate circumstance (the hurricane which cancelled flights)

Thanks!

Excellent, games will be going live 1 hour late to accommodate those who are having some troubles with travels though, and EG has two of their members tied down to a show.
