Congratulations to Arnor the city hunter, Cute the writing warrior, and clan leaders Lemminks (of TCP) and Spartaz (of ToR) who received new avatars for their continued involvement and commitment to sc2sea.
News & Features, and Tournament icons streamlined:
Most of the icons which appear under the News & Features and Tournaments sections on the front page have been streamlined to give the website a cleaner appearance. Thanks to TheGentleman for providing the graphics and nirvAnA for implementing it. There are a few icons remaining which will be updated as they're used.
etc...
A new one just for the SC2SEA Wrap up!
Furthermore, most members of the News Team have their own unique portrait for posting SEA and World News. You should be able to identify who is posting what article based on the icon. Can you guess who is who?

Whilst I have not tried it myself... if Fenner says it's good... it most likely is! The open source project appropriately named "Open Broadcaster Software" is a free alternative to xsplit.
In the winners bracket at MLG YoonYJ took out qxc before being eliminated in the lower bracket by massan. YoonYJ has now retired from SC2 and we wish him all the best in all his future non-SC2 endeavours. More information here.
Have I missed something you think should have been included? Please send me a PM and I will resolve the issue.
