Rundown #12

Event Overview
We 'Get It!' This week the Rundown brings the community, what could be, the most intense Rundown to date. The current champion, Sleep, could be the first player to defeat viOLet in the Rundown. For both to reach the finals though they will need to defeat some very hefty skill. Newcomers Demon, from the Good Gaming Team, epidemic's boyo and Aurora from Team Legion will get their first taste of the Rundown. Last week's runner up, enDerr and STX from it's Gosu will also have something to say about a Sleep vs. viOLet Finals. This event is not an 'experiment' and the results will not be leaked! The Rundown is LIVE and packed full of more skill in an 8 player bracket then any other online event. Join us this Thursday night for all of the action!

If you currently have either of the MLG memberships, you are welcome to join the chat live and for free on stream.
