Lethal Gamers, a LAN center in Dallas, Texas known for hosting Pre-CPL tournaments back in the day is hosting a Pre-ESEA Finals and Arbalet Cup Dallas tournament right now. A couple of top American teams have decided to attend the event as a means of warming up for next week's tournaments.

The highest profile team in attendance is Evil Geniuses , who just recently made their journey home from the ESWC where they did not make it out of the second group stage. Also in attendance are ESEA-Invite teams Finesse Gaming and Underestimated , the latter featuring former Team 3D star Ronald 'Rambo' Kim.

A total of six teams decided to show up and the group stage has just finished being played out, with Evil Geniuses and the Texas Area Untouchables (TAU) advancing at the top of the group, giving them a BYE in the first round of the double elimination bracket.

The bracket play will begin soon at 5:30 PM CDT today.
