Streaming starts at 5am ET/10am GMT, and will be streaming allll weekend!

Evening all. First of, I would like to thank the Waypoint community for the great discussion thread for MLG Columbus, which hopefully introduced new players to the scene.

The next big event for competitive Halo is next weekend (April 7th and 8th), in Blackpool, England. You may be asking, what is EGL? In short, EGL is Europes MLG. The next event will have Halo, as well as Gears and COD. Lets support Halo across the world! The big news is that Str8 Rippin will be competing! The competition will be using the MLG v7 settings that are being put into matchmaking this week.

Never watched competitive Halo before? Please make this event your first, here is some highlights from a match up in the last major Halo tournament that took place 2 weeks ago…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gz2Vm7QTHKI&feature=player_embedded

I’ve been looking forward to this. Sucks that Mikwen couldnt go, I wonder who theyll take as a 4th. Str8 to take 1st regardless and Devastation to take 2nd.

3

I’d say Devastation 1st now. Str8 will pick someone who is a close/reliable friend of the 3 of the team.

Looking forward to more NBNS.

Pool A
1st - apeX.Devastation
4th - TEC.Influx
5th - Pig Benis
8th - Infinitus

Pool B
2nd - Western Wolves
3rd - apeX.Str8 Rippin’
6th - eNigma.YEAH BUDDY
7th - Strive

Top 8 seeds pools. I’m personally looking forward to taking that 5th seed from PB.

5

This event will be awesome. I cannot wait to see what happens. I wonder who str8 will pick up for the event…

Would be pretty cool if another pro team came as well. Hoping to see devestation do work as well.

Style Points top 1.

It might be an idea to update the thread with the unseeded teams aswell.

VYE: Mersu, Cyclop, teyobb, Macca
Mutiny: Trick77, Blue 2wo, Afflictions, Digitrix
No Reason: Demise, Prydaa, Towl, Unit
Nice like Rice: Simmo, LFB, sasquatch, zOxide
Why you heff to be mad: Jools, Karra, Socro, Default
Clarity: Ico, Skippy, Flawless, Dizaztuh

Not sure if all these guy will attend, but incomplete teams.

Blood Money: Greenz, Elux
Minimal: Ratfizz, Godly
Uprising: Wettiger, Strafy

May be an idea to post all the pools aswell.

It’s a shame SK are unable to attend, would’ve contested the top 3 for sure.As it stands I think the top 3 is gonna be:

1st. Devastation
2nd. Str8 Rippin
3rd. Western Wolves

Think wW could take Str8, but it depends on how well each team plays.

Do you know where we could watch the streams? Or have you not found out anything yet?

> Do you know where we could watch the streams? Or have you not found out anything yet?

I think the stream page is www.twitch.tv/egltv

However Halo may have it’s own dedicated community run stream this event, I’m not entirely sure what the link for this is, but I’ll have a look around, and try to remember to post it in here when I find out.

EDIT: Was easier to find than I thought, it’s www.twitch.tv/eglhalo

OP Updated.

The big news is that Mikwen is able to go, so Str8 has their full roster for the event.

11

I hope Str8 does well! GL to them

12

Good to see this thread made! I just made one and had it moved to here. I searched for anything EGL related but didn’t see anything which was why I made the thread :stuck_out_tongue:

But I’m excited for this event. Devastation with the Buks and Fuzion are nasty, and a Str8 Rippin vs Devastation finals would be sick to see. I’ll watch this weekend for sure!

13

I’l get the streaming timetable up as soon as possible folks.

14

GL to Str8!

15

St8’s lack of practice might seem them get 2nd to devastation…should be a good series anyways

16

Streaming starts at 5am ET/10am GMT on Saturday and will be live all weekend!

If you never watched any MLG/EGL style gameplay, give it a try this weekend! Help support worldwide competitive Halo!

Just kidding with that title fellas.

From the best of my knowledge EGL is Europe’s version of MLG. This tournament will feature CoD/GoW/Reach. I am copying and pasting the discussion thread over at MLG. Be sure to tune in and enjoy everybody should be great action. For the first time ever 2 American teams are flying over and competing one for Call of Duty and Str8 Rippin’ will be in the Reach Tournament.

Stream: http://www.twitch.tv/EGLtv

You all should go watch EGL 5. I’ll try and update the thread as much as possible over the weekend.
