Team Exile5 are proud to announce that three of our members will be attending IEM Singapore in the upcoming weeks!
This x5 contingent will consist of Jared "PiG" Krensel, Callum "MegaFonzie" Blizzard and myself (Dot). PiG has been accepted to play in the Stage 1 Open Bracket, while MegaFonzie and I will provide support and coverage of the event. We are extremely excited to work as a team over there.
PiG has been stringing together consistent results lately and will no doubt hope to end his year on a high. Meanwhile this will be MegaFonzie's first taste of an international event. There is no better way to inspire an up-and-coming player such as himself than to see the best-of-the-best in action first hand! Time to learn some tricks from the Koreans!
The IEM circuit has visited Shanghai, New York and Cologne this season, with Singapore, Sao Paulo and Katowice to come.
We at x5 hope to report back to everyone at home with some interesting updates and content, so that you may enjoy the ride with us. Make sure you follow us for coverage and updates from the event!
The Open Bracket participants and bracket have been announced, alongside the Groups!
PiG verses Squirtle first, while BlysK will meet NesTea in the same bracket.
On the other side of the bracket, DemiLove from India will tee off with Oz in the first round.
Remember that the Open Bracket is double elimination!
In the Group Stage, KingKong is in a group B with Happy and the other Dong, DongRaeGu! ezpz
Huk has pulled out so an additional spot has been opened up for players from the Open Bracket.
Did MegaFonzie apply for the open bracket as well?
Yeah he did, unfortunately he didn't get in. However I felt that this would be a positive experience for him regardless so I pushed to have him sent. We are still hopeful that he might get in however!
