    yeah then TD did worse than us last night.

    Classic will take on Believe The Hype in the Winners Bracket Finals.
    Here are the gametypes:
    Game 1 - Multi Flag - The Pit
    Game 2 - Team Slayer - Amplified
    Game 3 - Team King - Construct
    Game 4 - Multi Flag - Heretic
    Game 5 - Team Slayer - Narrows



    oh and Carbon defeats Instinct 3-2 on Pit CTF. Defy finished the game 17-8-10.

    I'm having issue loading the livestream on both Google Chrome and Firefox, and I have Adobe 10. Is it taking awhile for anyone else?

    you instal octo shape Sweeny?

    Carbon continues to takes Game 2, Amplified TS, 50-32. They are now one win away from the Top 3.

    Instinct is putting up a fight against Carbon, as they take Game 3, Construct KotH, 250-206.

    Classic takes Game 1 of the WB Finals, The Pit CTF, 2-1 at the end of regulation.

    BTH Ties up the Series with a win over Carbon on Amplified TS... Carbon couldn't finish kills or get position.

    Carbon knocks out Instinct 3-1 after taking Heretic CTF 5-4. Instinct finishes in 4th place, while Carbon awaits the Loser of the WB Finals.

    Ya, I am trying to use Octoshape now, it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Do I just need to have it running while I go to the site, or what?

    Holy ****, I can't believe what happened.
    Congrats to BtH for winning, but if you had any logical bets with people on this tournament, you probably lost some money.

    I think the way they set up the brackets for Orlando was idiotic. BtH and Classic had 2 series before they reached Str8 or tD. That definitely left them more warmed up for their matches compared to tD or Str8.
    That could've played a role in tD or Str8's downfall but you can't say for sure.

    ****in Naded... He's the best when he's on... but when he's not he sits there looking like somebody just stabbed his dog and fails to go anywhere close to positive.

    I liked the excited super pumped up Naded from Dallas and Anaheim who couldn't miss if he tried better. Most bipolar player on the circuit.

    I'm really disappointed in Classic.

    They didn't win, but if anyone saw "Hysteria's Xbox exploding" (according to Puckett), you'd instantly realize that MLG isn't anything close to a real sport yet. In a real sport, there's a little thing called class. If the other team is winning 42-7 in football with 2 minutes left, you don't call an onside kick. It's just not done...there's a point where competitiveness ends and you show class, but that was not to be seen at MLG. Classic should have given tD the win right there, as there was literally no way that they could have returned a winning flag cap in overtime, all players still in spawn, the strongest 3-player setup possible on Onslaught, and the flag about an inch away from cap. You just say "good game", and they win, and that's that.

    And that's why MLG is still not - and won't be until something significant changes - a real "sport". Way to show class....Classic. I realize this is the game that ensures a minimum of $40,000, but to be honest, it's a loophole in the horribly-written rules. It shouldn't have happened. Personally, I wouldn't want to throw that away either...but tD had the win. If MLG is to become anything close to a real sport, that would have to stop.

    YouTube- MLG Orlando - Hysteria's XBOX freezes

    I'd also like to add that Final Boss apparently told them that the xbox was acting weird, and the "refs" ignored it. It's crazy how far people take MLG when the people that run it act towards it like that. The rules are also not particularly well-written and in general the whole thing is kind of a failure. I love the games, I even like some of the players (Tsquared <3)...but MLG as a company I feel has been underachieving.
