Follow eSports Signs MacD and Nintendude

[LiteralGrill]

Follow eSports, self declared "The 'TV Guide' Of eSports", expanded their competitive eSports team today by singing two Melee players! Both McCain 'MacD' LaVelle and Michael 'Nintendude' Brancato will now be playing under the Follow eSports Pro Team banner.

"The Super Smash Brothers scene is filled with incredibly passionate and devoted fans/players who have developed an immense competitive landscape completely from grassroots efforts." said Marty Strenczewilk, FolloweSports.com co-founder. "As we looked to expand our Pro Team into Smash, we looked immediately to the Melee community, as the bedrock of competitive Smash. Both Nintendude and MacD have been tearing up the scene lately and we're super stoked to have them as part of the Fe team."

The official announcement can be found here. Excited to see these two players signed? Let us know in the comments section below and stay tuned to Smashboards for more sponsorship news!

SmashCapps congratulates MacD and Nintendude for their sponsor and hope it goes well for them. To keep up with his own eSports adventures be sure to follow @SmashCapps on Twitter.

Really excited for MacD, he's been steadily improving as of late and I feel like he'll be borderline top 10 by the end of the year!

So has Nintendude, but no one really seems to like him.

Why do I always read Nintendude as Nintendog?
