[MLG Dallas] MLG Dallas 2013 Updates Thread

While Germany plays host to the European leg of the Call of Duty Championships this weekend, MLG will host the North American Championships as part of their first Call of Duty tournament since the original Black Ops. Not only are the best North American teams in attendance but the event has broken the record for the largest Call of Duty attendance ever.

How will the teams cope on the big day? Can Optic retain their title of the best Call of Duty team in the world? Will the online tournament seeding process effect the final results? Can the teams handle the split screen stages early on? All we know is that this weekend is going to be an absolute thriller.

We've enlisted the help of @AssassuN to bring you up to date content over this weekend. You can follow him on Twitter here: HERE

It's worth noting that the time difference between the UK and Dallas is -5 Hours (e.g. when it's 6PM for us it's 1PM for them).
