Major League Gaming (MLG) is perhaps the only pro gaming circuit in North America, and as such – it is the most prestigious! Thus it fills me with pride to announce that Chris “HuK” Loranger has taken down some fierce competition, including fellow Canadian Jonathon “KiWiKaKi” Garneau in the finals, on his way to the first ever StarCraft II MLG event title. HuK has been an amazing player since beta and we managed to catch an interview with him a while ago, so check it out. KiWiKaKi has always been around the SCII scene as part of Team Root, but his strong second-place performance surprised many spectators. In other notable Canadian results, Payam “TTOne” Toshyan secured 8th place, going home with a cool $200 USD. HuK and KiWiKaKi received $2,500 USD and $1,500 USD respectively.
Other Canadian finishes include SLusH (11th), Drewbie (12th), Silver (14th), Suggy (T-17th), and Catz (T-17th).
Good luck to all our virtual warriors in the next two MLG 2010 stops in Washington, D.C. on October 15th and Dallas on November 5th!
