Hi guys, this is Ted from ESFI World. Like our previous event coverage threads, I will once again try 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.

I'd also like to give a big shoutout to SteelSeries for supporting our coverage of MLG Orlando this weekend. Without sponsors and supporters like them, we would not be able to consistently travel to events and provide the kind of quality coverage we do. So if you're in the market for a new gaming mouse, please check out the SteelSeries Sensei. I actually got to try one out at IPL3, and it is a fantastic mouse.

Enjoy.

I'm wondering, with those players at IEM right now, will they make it in time for MLG?

Did the guy writing this know that MKP basically went 1 rax CC in almost every game for some GSL seasons? Also I think his micro is better then Polts.

I believe Sam was referring to MKP's more recent time spent in Code A and especially his Up/Down group where he essentially 1/1/1'd every game vP.

ESFI have some of the best coverage in the business and maybe even the best English coverage full-stop.

I know chobopeon is doing some work for MLG now, does he still produce content for you guys?

At the moment yes but only at non-MLG events.
