mGG is now a house clan of SC2SEA.com!!!
It is with much pride that we are able to announce the news that mGG has been accepted as a house clan. Other than recognising all of our efforts in making mGG an important part of the SEA community, this also gives us certain bonuses such as the hosting of our own sub-forums here on SC2SEA.com. Many thanks to Nirvana for his work in accepting us here and to everyone in mGG who made this possible. The home page to the sub-forums can be found Here.
Official mGG Thread
Howdy all! Welcome to the official mGG clan thread. This where you will go to find out what's been happening and about to happen in the world of mGG. This thread will be updated on a regular basis with important news items such as upcoming practice and tournaments - It will maintained as a central place to summarise important sub-forum posts. So we ask that all members check this thread and the sub-forums on a regular basis.
Who Are mGG?
Read more about mGG here.
Originally started as a friendly - clan by mGGThoth and mGGCwnAnnwn, we have continued to swell our ranks as more players join and old players are promoted. mGG now boast a variety of players across - levels. We are clan focused on helpfulness and friendly attitudes, with the main goal of improving each member to their full potential, without losing sight of the fact that SC2 IS FUN ^_^.
We strongly encourage the general public to join us in our public in-game channel (mGG) to chat and to play, be it 1v1 or team games.
Current Recruitment Status
Link to recruitment page
mGG's current policy regarding recruitment of new players is to not actively seek new members. We encourage anyone who wishes to converse with mGG to join our in-game channel "mGG". Over time, people who have displayed commitment and courtesy in the channel (for instance, practice with our members, general conversation in the channel) may be invited into the clan by one of our captains.
Please remember, that mGG is first and foremost a community, and as such all new members must display an ability to add to our community through interaction. Your skill level is not a consideration during this process, only your commitment.
Please contact one of our captains (mGGThoth.669 or mGGCwnAnnwn.569, Asrathiel.926, mGGAlpha.599, mGGDrGooSe.266 or mGGMuex.195) in-game if you have any queries. Applications forms can also be filled out Here. But again, please remember that our in-take rate is currently subdued, and some time may pass before any offer to join is made.
*Please note that placing the mGG tag in your name is entirely a personal decision, and we will not require you to do so. Also note, that we do not look favourably on people who add mGG to their name before they have been formally invited into the clan.

This past weekend mGG finished up with our internal tournament. The tournament was played over two days, starting with pools the weekend before last and finishing up with the finals brackets this Sunday past. Firstly, everyone in mGG would like to thank mGGAlpha for organising the tournament and Asrathiel for administering the brackets. Secondly, a massive and heart-warming thank you to Duckville, who did a marathon 4 hour solo cast of finals. We even had FXOBoss stopping by, undoubtedly scouting out his next aquisition :P. Finally, thanks to everyone in mGG - players and specs alike. Despite the Australian internet's attempt to derail it, it was still the best local tournament seen in a long time, all thanks to you guys and girls. In the end though, it all had to come to a close, and congratulations go to mGGFender on 3rd place, mGGAlpha on his 2nd place and mGGSouth on taking out the top spot.
mGGLHF everyone!! xD

It's been a busy time recently in mGG and I have been completely neglectful of keeping our community updated. Firstly, let us congratulate our 3rd mGG GM, mGGSouth ! It's been fantastic to watch everyone in mGG advance so far so quickly, particularly in the past few weeks. Equally as deserving of praise, is mGGMuex's promotion into as a random player. Achieving masters with any race is a feat, but doing so with all 3 races is something to behold. Congratulations Muex. For those that haven't yet seen or signed up, mGG is hosting an in-house tournament for all members. Please sign up here or contact mGGAlpha. Our BSGP players are also pouring their hearts and souls into a mini clan league being run by Fusion Slugs every Thursday night. For those who are available, please make sure that you come by the stream (TBA each week) and support our little battlers.
If ever there are other news item that you would like the clan to know about, please feel free to add me on skype, jrsmith.688 and let me know.

Two pieces of news for you all today. Firstly, head over to this thread and show you love to Alpha for his fantastic showing in the yesterday's ACL Melbourne.

Many many thanks to Flamga, PJ, Venom and Zanderax for their casting, and also to NiceLiquid for helping me out cast the final PDM game. Check out the vods at Flamga, Zanderax and DrGooSe.

For the past couple of weeks, mGG has been running a recruitment drive and generally making ourselves more prominent withint the community (for example, our GPD Open). I am pleased to say that since these initiatives, the clan channel (mGG) has never been more active, sometimes approaching 20 people. Not only have we met a lot of new people who find mGG a nice place to chill, but we have also been lucky enough to pick up some really awesome people. I'd like everyone to welcome our latest mGG members, and I look forward to getting to know you all ^_^. For those still thinking about joining mGG, come on down and say hi!

Wednesday night saw an impromptu GSTL style BO5 against clan FaDe. Many thanks to FaDeUndoNe for the opportunity for some fun games. Thanks also to FaDeDaedelus (Joshboy) for streaming/casting along with FaDeKreamy and our own mGGAlpha. FaDe managed a very strong showing, taking the matches 5-1. Great effort by everyone who played (Cwn, myself, Muex, Alpha, Fender) and better luck next time. 03/06/2012
I'd like to thank everyone who came by for the BSG open practice session. We had some peepmode action, concentrating on our macro and just keeping those minerals down. It has been fantastic to see so many new faces in the mGG channel over the past few weeks, and I think we have really picked up some awesome people.
It's also that time of the week again, where I announce yet another promotion to masters! Rinehart, that loveable mothershiper, is our latest ! Our diamond ranks are looking pretty thin here peoples, starting spreading the word that we need MOAR! ^_^ GLHF everyone.
29/05/2012
Ok guys and girls. It seems that, yet again, we have a promotion. I would like to congratulate mGGAlpha (the artist formally known and Ali) on getting that pretty blue star (currently rank 2 BTW)! In the space of roughly a week we have gone from a single masters to possessing Five Big Bad Boys. You guys are gonna make me cry (Nothing Sus).
27/05/2012 It is with great pleasure that we can announce mGGSouth just hit as ! Ooo yeah baby. So who's racing for , huh?
Friday night saw an impromptu GSTL-style bo9 against team sR using - players. Both teams gave an extremeley strong account with all matches winnable by either player at most stages. Congratulations to team sR for taking it in the end: sR 5 - 4 mGG. Results are available in the archive.
25/05/2012
Tonights GPD open went off with a huge bang (results can be found in the archive section below). Some absolutely fantastic games with many of them going 2-1. Special mention to Baldie and PurePhoenix for casting, we couldn't have done it without you. Also don't forget to thank our sponsor Asrathiel (and myself :P) for fronting the money (^_^). Although I am aware that many of you would have gladly put in further money, we wanted to keep the pool relatively small. I'm sure you will have the opportunity to contribute in future! Everyone remember to tease CwnAnnwn for his giggling school girl act. But when nights are this enjoyable and succesful, who can blame him? Well done everyone. It was a group effort and everyone should be proud for making the mGG channel such an enjoyable place for the public to be. ♥♥♥

I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Nomad on receiving his promotion to ! Not only does he now have the distinction of being mGG's first , but is also the first person to get whilst being a member of mGG. Our other two masters are Chase and our latest recruit FenderStrat . mGG now have a player of every race, and this is truly a testament to the success of the clan as a whole. Congratulations Nomad.
mGG has recently expressed its interest in extending its and levels. Please spread the word to all and sundry about mGG so that we can continue to support our lower leveled players even as our promotions continue to swell our ranks further up. Bronze/Silver recruiting thread.

mGG decided to create a new official clan thread to replace the original announcement thread that had been serving this purpose in the past. Original Announcement Thread. Questions have been asked about mGG applying for house clan status on SC2SEA.com. We are strongly considering applying for house clan status, however, we still wish to sort out some of the red tape such as logos, etc. whilst still dealing with IRL commitments. We do not wish to prematurely apply before everything is in perfect order. Stay tuned!

Technically speaking, yes, however, we allow dual memberships, and commitments to clans previously joined before us come first, he is still TCP, and if we ever had a clan war or something along those lines (or participate in the clan tournament etc) he would be playing for you, because obviously he joined TCP first.
Oh, btw goose, alongside Cwn's promotion of asrathiel, I hereby make you a substitute captain as well, for your great contribution to this clan, and your dedication in sticking with us ^_^
