The first days play has already got underway and at the time of writing, in Group A, both NaNiwa and White-Ra are set to progress. Earlier in the day though, NaNiwa had threatened to forfeit the tournament after having some technical issues in his first match. After his behavior at the last event of the MLG Pro Circuit, it's hard to support the Swede this time round, regardless of his impressive play.

From my view, a event like a LAN might give a "new life" to ET again.. The good old times which i haven't faced with.
e; I know setting up a LAN is hard, but still could noone do this?
And when i saw "intel" i was like, LETS GET STARTED.. but then i read the news post :/
Noone is stopping you from doing it on your own. but Let's stop this discussion here. own journal/pm/collum/irc would be a better place.
