A nuke?! Nobody nukes (successfully) at tournaments! MLG's first series of SC2 matches ran last night, so if you missed out on them, here's a quick synopsis of the events:

The first match of the evening was EGIdrA vs. STBomber; the games were played on Dual Sight and Metalopolis, with Bomber rising 2-0 by using early-to-mid game pushes and containments.

Second match of the evening: EGHuK vs. SlayerS_CoCa. SlayerS_CoCa convincingly took this match 2-0, hugging HuK after the final and most intense battle ended.

The third match was Dignitas.Naniwa vs. Fnatic.Rain. Fnatic.Rain took this match 2-1, and surprised the entire crowd with a nuke rush and EMP spread; Naniwa just barely fell short in the final battle when his forcefields negated the "nuclear launch detected" warning, allowing Rain's nuke rush to succeed and destroy what little remained of Naniwa's army. By far, this was the most explosive moment in the entire evening: the crowd erupted in "OOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!"s and shouted warnings in vain, for the sound-proof booths make it impossible to warn contendors.
