First off congratulations to SK-Gaming for playing an outstanding tournament. They may have not had the toughest matches on their way to the Upper Finals but you can’t discredit them for beating Team EG and then pulling off a 3-1 to TSG in the Grand Finals. Note that the first map was RNG Valor and SK managed to even beat TSG on that.
Dr. Realz has really turned things around with this new line-up after dropping Serennia. His first trip to Germany will quickly be forgotten and replaced with memories of this one. No more staying in strange German houses Mr. Masterson, you’re treated like WoW royalty now.
Many are already calling SK-Gaming ‘Team America’. I think that’s a fitting title. We’ll have Dr. Realz on a special “After Thoughts: Regionals” show sometime this week along with some of the other big names from this weekend. Look for an updated post on Monday or Tuesday.
I suppose we should give TSG some praise too for making it to BlizzCon in their first tournament appearance ever. This is how I give praise:

Quick little update for the community.
The World of Warcraft VOD’s of MLG Columbus 2009 are beginning to come out. You can view them HERE.
Hopefully they cut out the whole “GOAL!” thing with Keith and Jared because that has to stop. Now.

A long long time ago when I raided in Void we had a member, nay, a legend named Cyrus. He was a Troll Shaman and was probably one of the funniest people I’ve ever met in Ventrilo.
Early on in the guild he become pretty popular because of his Void raps. For those who have never heard them, I found them while searching through an old hard drive. You can enjoy the sweet sounds of the one and only Cyrus below. Enjoy!

If you’re wondering why you got g-lined today from GameSurge, it was probably because you were idling in #battlegroup9. Phaseburn (an IRC cop) g-lined the entire channel due to a couple of people trolling him (see: http://davidbauman.ytmnd.com/). So, I won’t be able to idle in #arenacast tomorrow but we will be doing a show at 4 p.m. and hopefully I can get people to idle there. If you can post here with a way for me to contact you so you can lead the troops tomorrow! Thanks.

Igoaf and JP were joined by Vhell and Vansilli at the hotel bar on Sunday night to do a quick 20 minute recap of the weekend ArenaCast style. What this means is… well, just listen. I dont really have much else to say about the show except that the whole ‘every hour we’ll hop back on to record’ thing didn’t happen.
Thanks and expect a full ArenaCast later this week on Saturday and expect a new show hosted by Vhell sometime this weekend.

Me (JP) and Igoaf sat down and recorded an audio preview for MLG with the new information from the schedule released earlier this week.
GotFrag requires you to login to download the 8 minute audio file but it’s not a hard sign-up process so do it and support us! Thanks.
