[edit] About

The fourth event of the MLG 2011 Pro Circuit, held in Raleigh, North Carolina. The tournament features Starcraft 2, League of Legends, Halo:Reach, Call of Duty:Black Ops and others.

Starcraft 2 was once again on the main stage, cast by Artosis & Tasteless and Day[9] & Husky with JP McDaniel interviewing the players appearing on stage. JP McDaniel also spent some time in the casting booths with Tasteless and Artosis. Once again there was both a Red and a Blue stream available.

No changes are made from MLG Anaheim.[7]

[edit] Additional Note

GOMTV Edited maps to make ramp blocking no longer possible, MLG has continued this to their map pool and also making spawning in close positions on Shakuras Plateau, Shattered Temple, and Metalopolis not possible.

[edit] Additional Coverage

[edit] Trivia

  • Mvp, the defending champion did not return to attempt to keep his title due to his decision to focus on the GSL.
  • Just like for all previous MLG SC2 tournaments, this was the first MLG event the winner, Bomber, participated in.
  • This MLG occurred during Hurricane Irene, which made land fall in North Carolina. Fortunately aside from some bad weather MLG was not very much affected.
