Not so fast kids... apperently SE has a wrinkle in store for us. Cording to our LS leader, the semifinals is a best out of 5 series. One match a week for 5 weeks starting after new years.

lol a certain amount of team members from each team must be physically at the event. That is great.. well for people who have no lives and can just pick up and leave home to go play a video game tournament.

Chaostheory, i can asure you, has been up against some strong competition. Phoenix ballista is extremely active in both JP and NA communities. Our JP team, Feather, made it to the sweet 16 i think? i dont remember any more, it's been a while.
