The last time we saw Heart in the GSL was four weeks ago when he took out BBoongBBoong’s teammate BumbleBee, a fellow Zerg, in the round of 48. In that match, Heart was easily able to 2-0 his opponent. Tonight he’ll be looking to do the same.

The match will be broadcast on GOMtv.net. A free standard quality stream is available for the second set of matches, however if you want HD or the first set of games (which Heart is playing in) you’ll have to buy a GSL Season Pass.

PG2: coL.SC2 vs. Alternate aTTaX – EG MCSL

May 4th, 2012

Tonight, compLexity SC2 will be taking on Alternate aTTaX in week 7 of the Evil Geniuses Master’s Cup Series League. Kicking off at 9:00 PM EST, fans can tune into the stream here.

Currently compLexity sits in 5th place with a score of 4-2. While we dropped our first two games versus Empire and Fnatic, we were able to rally and win the next four versus Evil Geniuses, Dignitas, It’s Gosu, and Mousesports. Tonight we try and make it five in a row. Considering Alternate aTTaX is in last place with a score of 1-5, we should have a decent shot. That said, our opponents are very strong despite their results and underestimating them could be a major mistake.

The match ups for tonight’s game are:

  • NaDa vs ClouD
  • Killer vs Socke
  • Heart vs DarKFoRcE
  • Ganzi vs Delphi

Be sure to tune in tonight so that you can root for coL.SC2 as they go for five wins in a row.
