The brackets so far

On the second day of the tournament, some changes to the format were implemented due to some feedback from the teams in the winner’s bracket, Arcanys and Rave. The tournament will now follow the traditional double elimination format.

Jeyo comes to the tournament with full support!

MightySavior carrying his team with a heavily farmed, Beyond Godlike Phantom Assassin throwing critical strikes all over the place! Arcanys has taken game one, but judging by Nvdia.Aces’ streak this tournament, forcing a game three for this series isn’t entirely impossible.

The Macho Man Look Contest 2014

Following last year’s MPGL, Eri Neeman once again hosts the Macho Man Look Contest with this year’s contestants: Jeyo, Johnny and KyXy. To those who don’t understand the concept of the Macho Man look, watching this video from last year’s MPGL will help.

Johnny

Although Winter wasn’t able to defend his title, fellow Malaysian KyXy took this year’s title. That’s when things got even more interesting. After winning the contest, KyXy was asked to once again perform his winning macho man look. He humbly declined and pointed out that his girlfriend was watching and in the front row no less. Eri Neeman then called KyXy’s girlfriend on stage and asked to perform his winning macho man look for her instead.
