SK takes on coL twice in MLG opening night

ImageBoth SK teams are in action in the opening night of MLG Anaheim.



Two SK teams will face two Complexity teams when MLG kicks off in the early hours of Saturday morning. SK Gaming EUROPE are first up at 4:35 when they take on the regular compLexity Red team. It will be the world's first look at the new SK lineup in a LAN environment and the team has a lot of expectation. An opening night win would help to ease any nerves that might have been brought on by Inflame's interview

For SK Gaming USA it's a journey into the unknown when they face the new coL team. compLexity BHMS went through a hugely complicated series of events to earn their place at the tournament. But with so many people predicting them to do badly they will be playing without pressure. Whether that will make them more of a challenge for SK remains to be seen, but there are rarely any walkovers at MLG events.

Elsewhere, Button Bashers will open the tournament when they play Evil Geniuses at 4:00. These two teams have never met and with BB's untouchable status rapidly fading, this could be the most exciting game of the first night.

CheckSix will open their new team's account against fnatic wow later in the morning. The all-American clash will be an intriguing battle of non-RMP setups. x6 in particular will hope to continue the momentum from their victory at the previous event. A win against Fnatic would be a real statement of intent from the comp-swappers.
