MDI EU/Asia Cup 1 finished 11 Apr. Congrats to Method EU for winning!
Flark is running tournaments again and he hosted two since our last episode on the 4th and 11th. He ran these as a pool and made random teams from the pool. This turned out as an awesome success!
Desmephisto's 40v40 Brawl happened on the 12th, or we attempted. Unfortunately due to some trolls we couldn't get it started, so we did wargames instead!
The first drop of Alpha information has hit us with lots of class updates! We are not going to go through it all, but we are going to mention our favourites!
