MLG Anaheim represented a lot of firsts for our team. It was our first time sending SC2 players to a premiere event, and it was also the first time some of our players were able to attend a premiere event. From our competitive teams, we had three players in attendance: AiuR , and Rhinomeister (FoolOfaTooK).After losing 1-2 in a close series with RagnaroK in round 3 of the winner's bracket, AiuR went full power and tore through his next opponents. Even Dignitas' SeleCT could not hold back the Protoss power. AiuR's run would finish at the hands of former teammate rebOrn , one round away from the championship loser's bracket.

I had a great experience participating in MLG. I got to meet a lot of people and my results exceeded the amount of practice I had before the event. - Valentin "AiuR" Monfort-Schaeffer

Like AiuR, this was Kamker's first premiere event. After losing to Phog in round 2, he would advance one more round in the losers bracket before losing 1-2 against EG's

It was really awesome that AiuR and I got to go. Playing in person was a whole new experience and watching/meeting the Korean players always gives new perspectives on the game. We saw trap outside a restaurant and I yelled "Trap" and started clapping. He just smiled and walked over to us, his games were amazingly close and it was great to see him win, toss imba! - Nick "Kamker" McGregor

FoolOfaTooK is the lone veteran of the group, having participated in two prior MLGs. In the winner's bracket, he would advance to round 3. There, he would face former GSL champion Seed , and ultimately fall 0-2.

Although I did not perform as well as I wanted to I was very happy to compete again at a MLG. It has been over a year since I have competed at a lan tournament where I get to meet some cool new friends that have the same passion that I have. - Ryan "FoolOfaTooK" Arnold

In conclusion, we're very happy for our players, and that we were able to create this opportunity for them. Also, thanks to our fans and sponsors for making this possible. We look forward to continuing our work in supporting the NA scene and its awesome talent!
