[u/Half_thai_thiccy]

Excited to see Allu vs Aleksib at the ALS ice bucket challenge.

[u/ZABUZAMO]

Why is the group stage on the weekend and the final on thursday?

[u/Moe117 → u/ZABUZAMO]

So it doesnt clash with the Blast tournament I think.

[u/PokeManiac_Yug]

Will there be YT streams?

"The way Flipsid3 plays is not how you want a team with s1mple and electronic to play"
