Fight for the Flight

One of the benefits of being on a professional eSports roster is that you have a supportive team which flies you around the world to tournaments and events.

We thought we'd like to give one Exile5 Starcraft 2 Academy member a small taste of what that's like. The boys have been training relentlessly for some time now and been soaking up the tutelage of Senpai Pig.As SC2 Team Exile5 Manager, I want to see who's got the hunger.

So the boys will battle it out tomorrow with the winner receiving a flight to Sydney for ACL. If Yours wins he receives some other worthy prize (since he already lives in Sydney).

It's all going down tomorrow at 11:00 am AEST. - check out the calendar.

Thanks in advance to Metalcore who will be hosting the stream and casting along with Crescendo.

Brackets are here.

And to my Academy boys, let the best man win.

Thanks for asking me to come on as a co-caster

Love these guys, and look forward to giving some hype to their games!

More than winning, I'm hyped to watch the vods after and see what you guys have to say and the ideas you bring

Great idea!

Rather than just having academy members basically in name only/to fill spots for clans wars, this is a valuable reward and a clear demonstration of support to your playing list. Shows you're serious about supporting them

Might want to edit in those currently on your academy for those unaware.

Runamok -1, Namakaye - 1
Yours - 1, Arrival - 2
Runamok - 2, Arrival - 1
Namakaye 2, - Yours - 0

Final standings here

Top two Arrival and Namakaye then battled it out in a b05 series. After being 2-0 down, Namakaye clawed his way back to take out the nail biting series 3-2.

Well played to everyone. We're so proud to see the progress manifest in such close contests and exciting games all day.

Bad luck Arrival who just missed out.

Huge congratulations to Namakaye who has won himself a trip to ACL Sydney later in June.

All in all, they were fun games to watch and we may look at holding these in house tourneys more regularly.

Last but not least, a huge thank you to Metalcore and Crescendo for casting the event and to everyone who tuned in.

Sounds like the team are really close in skill level! Hope a few of the guys can make their own way to Sydney.

Really looking forward to the fun times in Sydney!

Huge shoutout to KingSlayer and Dot for organising this whole thing, brilliant idea by amazing people.

Thanks to all the x5 acad guys for putting on a great show and playing some awesome series! Especially josh for beating Arrival and forcing the Bo5 :P

All in all super fun day and excited for future events! See you guys in Sydney!

Metalcore has uploaded most of the VODs already.
I've compiled them into a handy playlist. The sound in the first game between Arrival and Namakaye was a bit awry, but was mostly fixed for the rest of the events.

Wouldn't mind some feedback on things I could do better, casting-wise.

Things I already know I need to work on:
Clearer enunciation, less awkward pauses, and L2ReadTheStructuresTab
