ok, so mlg is about two weeks away... and md/va failed at the last one, its time to step it up and show the nation what we can do. me, along with several others, will watch a couple matches and give tips to anyone who request it. i encourage everyone else to do the same, md/va really needs to step it up and a week before mlg seems like a decent time to start. every mlg rule will be enforced (almost, we will allow wireless controllers to be used by everyone but me).
I expect to see MD/VA come out and get/give the last bit of practice in before MLG's 2nd event.
