ACL Wrap up
 

So on Staurday and Sunday was ACL Brisbane and oh my god was it exciting. I was only there on saturday but I had a blast! KingKong took the 1st place prize of 1k with PiG coming 2nd and Light coming third. The biggest story of ACL has to be NXZ's run through the open bracket and pool play to take 4th place, taking out GLaDe, JazBas, PiG and tgun on the way.

Now onto IXL. I personally started off the day on a high, taking down ETLs Soundwave 2-1 and ToRDjvillian 2-0 (so much cheese ;; ). I then proceeded to lose to FvRShOcKwAvE and SLCNPetrify, causing me to miss 2 chances to make groups T_T.

Runamok made the journey up here to Brisbane and started off with a win against VBMacdaddy. As with me, he was knocked out of the winners bracket by shockwave. He then unfortunately narrowly lost to ToRSchnitzel and was eliminated.

So from a spectator's PoV, iaguz v MaFia was a huge highlight for me. There was so much excitement and obviously the money the community was putting on the line made a huge impact. The one moment in that series that will stay with me for a long time is the 2 mines killing 60 lings, halting MaFia's all-in and giving iaguz the 2-0 win.

Got to meet a bunch of awesome people there, especially the ToR guys. Was interesting to see how much better our community is than the CoD and Halo communities (more spectators for SC2 than both combined + lots of BM during and after CoD/Halo matches but only pleasent handshakes in SC2 )

That's it I think, GG!
