"and we'll invest more on Bots, as our first Trial bot, the 'NemBotElie' was a huge success, organising tournaments and being part of the Council of mGG. But there are a few bugs in which the bot cannot go past the skill level of a Platinum Protoss." - PaRAnorMaL
Wow, 4 guarenteed mGG team kills in the bracket so far TT. Sometimes challonge just does things really stupidly too, with the second round seeding instead of just having everyone in first round. Still, more tourneys the better!
