Full Coverage of IEM Sao Paulo
Over on TeamLiquid’s website, posters Waxangel and Tree.hugger are keeping a thorough diary of the ESL Intel Extreme Masters Global Challenge currently underway in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Host country fans have had a rather mixed IEM experience this season. American fans had something to be proud about as GoSuGatored 3 – 0'd GSL finalist oGs.TOP at IEM New York, while the Ukraine had the honor of being one of the only few countries to make home-field advantage really show up in the standings at IEM Kiev.
However, Sao Paulo looks like it's going the path of IEM Guangzhou so far, where none of the Chinese players made it out of the first round. With Brazil's Tunico going 0 – 3 in set, and 0 – 6 in map scores, it's not a promising start. Potiguar and the last minute addition DakkoN are up tomorrow, but it remains to be seen if they can cause an upset and give the energetic Brazilian audience something to really cheer for.
