World of Warcraft: MLG Dallas Championship Sunday

By: Ryan Cole - Published August 30, 2009 at 10:23 AM EDT - Writer Archive
Day three of the MLG PC Circuit brings some exciting action to the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas as teams contend for championship play.


GotFrag.com - Day two comes to an incredible finish with many of the U.S. teams showing that they can knock international teams out of contention.

Yesterday played host to twenty minute RMP mirrors, exciting changes in gameplay for Kintt of eMg from Priest to Paladin, and x6tence using the same comp for day two that they used at Blizzcon: Hunter, DK, Paladin to increase their chances to be top four coming into day three.

The secrets of success in day two's action belongs to none other than SK's blow dryer. After two intense losses in Day 1, this American powerhouse RMP needed something to change. All they had to do, was warm up their hands...

Today becomes a sad day for Gravitas Gaming and Against All Authority as they have been pushed out of Championship Bracket play. However, the most arousing news going into day three - there are still six teams that can make it into the double elimination bracket with different scenarios happening in round robin. With six matches left, anything is possible.

Of the six teams still competing to become top four and advance to double elimination, Complexity needs a win over SK to even think about moving on. Even with the win, it still does not secure a spot as coL needs Button Bashers, Gravitas, or aAa to win one of their matches to help knock other teams out of the top four position. Don't count out Button Bashers either as a 4-3 finish may still edge them into the championship bracket.

There isn't too much else we can say at this point in Dallas, as teams compete for a chance at $9,000 and the title of MLG Dallas 2009 Champions.

Keep tuned into the stream for all the action! Don't forget that the high quality stream is available for only $5.99, an enticing offer to say the least. Find out more details here.
