The posters for the event are advertising a live webcast, but as yet I cannot locate a link. I will post up if I can find one, but if anyone else has a link, please post it!

The NPPL webcast is rubbish compared to the PSP, but i will probably watch it anyways

XSV and Damage look real good, but im going to go with Dynasty, they had a poor season so far, with no 1st places, so im going to say they will go in hard at this one!

I have done some digging and is seems there will be no webcast from Chicago, despite what the posters say.


However, live score updates via the NPPL Facebook page will be available:-

After Friday's games, XSV top their division, and TBD top theirs.

Rumour has it that Dynasty are playing the event without Alex Fraige and Oliver Lang. Also, J-Rab has a two-match suspension to serve following the incident at HB, but Damage can still field 7 players whilst he sits.

EDIT: The Alex missing from Dynasty is Alex Goldman, who is playing for Arsenal. Alex Fraige is with Dynasty, but Oliver Lang isn't.
