Posted Feb 2, 2015 (Undertaker Nerf)I like this game so much, yet have very minimal interest in the competitive scene. Maybe when I have more time on my hands I can get into it, but it seems pointless to me. Just my thoughts

Posted Feb 1, 2015 (Undertaker Nerf)Timezones.. are next level wizardry! Sometimes I've included links to sites which show stuff in local time, but I think the countdown is a much friendlier approach. Maybe I'll start doing both for "fun".

Posted Feb 1, 2015 (Undertaker Nerf)Curious why MaSsan has an American flag next to his name when he lives in South Korea? Does he normally play on the NA server or something?

Posted Feb 1, 2015 (Undertaker Nerf)This has been adjusted. He was previously living in the US for 10 years and there are other sites which report him as only being American. I think it's safer to to use the flag of his country of birth and current residence, South Korea. Thanks!

Posted Jan 31, 2015 (Undertaker Nerf)Makes you wonder if this event is pre-recorded too or not.
There was another event that finished today and the finals had Kolento vs. Firebat and Kolento played the Undertaker and showed +1/+1 pre-nerf.
