Believe it or not, the mean lean coverage machines are back, more tired, fucked up and late than ever, but HEY we are here ok! :o)

Once again Markus and I (Mark) had to get up 04:00 CET to catch a flight at 06:25..I still wonder who on earth creates these deadbeat times...I hope they get a kick out of serving tired and cranky people dirt early in the morning, because i saw 1000's of them when we arrived at Copenhagen airport. When we arrived we saw that out plane was moved 1 hour ahead and suddenly we had all the time in the world...Thanks for making me look like a zombie and giving me 2 hours sleep, gg Sterling Airlines.

As soon as we got on the plane it was zZzZz time, so 1 min later I annoyed the ones behind, infront and to my right with loud sleeping tunes from my nostrals, was great, as least I felt like that when I woke up 1 hour later landed in Berlin :)

The NGL had sent a guy to pick us up at the airport, I mean of course they have, there is a difference between shit and cake ain't there, so what would the M&M's be without a pickup in a limo (ok ok its was a VW stationcar and not a limo, but it sounded good right? ;) )

Well arrived at the venue, a huge cinema, we found our way to the press area, got hooked up and the day started with the needed internet shot...our mind cleared up, the bloodpressure got down to normal and all of the sudden we felt alive again, I'm telling you that damn internet can work wonders in medical ways...or not. We will be back a bit later as the games are about to start.

M&M says, cya later - color alligator.

Day 1 - Friday 18:00 

I'M STILL STANDING, YEAH YEAH YEAH, I'M STILL STANDING, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. Somehow I (Mark) managed to not fall asleep yet, though my 2 hours of sleep the last 48 hours actually should kick in my desire to lay down and die...You want to kkow the secret? Sure you can handle it? Ok my secret recipe to look like a zombie, but still being alive isssssssss - TADAAAAA - STARBUCKS, yes you are right the one and one place on earth where you with pleasure pay 10-15 US$ for a huge cop of brown ale aka coffee with some caramel in and walk out knowing you have been ripped off to the bone, but still feel good about it, yum yum.

Anyway, back to what I am here for. After beating fnatic 4:0 and promoting Susiria to Mr. All-Kill of the day, we went to MCD and shared our happines with a pile of MC Curry burgers, Starcraft coffee and teaching Lucifer how a Korean should look like when smoking Danish cigaretttes.

Afterwards we walked over to Cinemaxx (the venue) and watched WE take down 4Kings in a very interesting match that ended up 4:3 in favor of before mentioned. Right now we are waiting for a CS match to be played, SK vs. NoA, which we will enjoy with coke and popcorn in one of the many cinema halls they feature here. One thing can be said about the venue, its cozy, nice looking, filled with bars and restaurants and couldnt be more central and the only thing missing are more people, but its still friday people have been in school, at work and the 17 degrees hot weather outside doesn't quite make people want to go inside and watch PC games -.- But I am sure that there will be a lot more people tomorrow.
Now I will go back to fighting with my newly installed Microsoft Vista and afterwards finding something to eat, as that MCD burger lasted 3 farts and a burb as usual.

M&M says, why laugh in real life when you can lol online.

Day 1 - Friday 19:45

The other M here, which one? Figure it out yourself.

Can you imagine how many people there might be on a friday morning at 6:15 at the Copenhagen Airport? Well today there were at least 2000, and 1000 of them were in the queue in front of us. Sterling, please use reasonable flying times.. and don't send schedule changes with wrong times around to your customers :)

However, great day. Met with the guys again and nothing big changed actually. Moon is still trying to marry me, Lucifer the bad boy as usual, Susiria trying to drag people to poker all the time and Focus, the youngest, humble as they all were in the start. Bad boys for life?

The NGL venue, at the Sony Center at Potsdamer Platz in one of the most crowded places of Berlin, pretty neat. The event itself - held in a cinema, with the rooms filled with esport junkies watching casts on big screens, among them some of the finest progamers the world has seen.

One of the first arrivals: Duck from fnatic, after a pretty angry forum post at SK Forums yesterday he calmed down. Supposedly trimble, his teammanager, didn't pick him up from the airport and so he went pissed to a pretty expensive hotel overnight, wrote the hatepost on SK and got semi drunk. The next day the mystery solved - there was a pickup at the airport - the usual NGL One driver, just that Duck didn't expect anybody else than his personal half-swedish/canadian/german manager and didn't look out for any people holding signs! gg.

Our guys, fresh as ever. Always a good choice to fly down some days before the event itself - jetlag is not a good thing to play with. The first seats were taken, the MYM and fnatic oposing each other, and one empty spot was filled by - fnatic.Tod? Nah, he said, only grabbing the spot for some practice.

More and more people arrived, with them the other 4 Kings players, with a little disappointed Zeus, as neither Satiini nor Ciara arrived - "No whiskey for me..", seems somebody had some lucky bets :)

The first match ended pretty quickly, Susiria managed an all kill against 2 undeads and 2 orcs! Just that one of the undeads was actually their teammanager as Satiini could not come.

World Elite again with a full korean roster, this time with their latest addition, Reign. The oldschool undead who later on proved to be very useful against 4 Kings by beating the 2 kings Tod and Grubby. However our players are always a little more curious than the general person; "Grubby, why lose", and then the dutch orc star had to admit that he only used 4 peons on his gold mine throughout the game. "gg."

Behind me the betting junkies can't stop overbidding each other, seems Zeus is winning a little more while owning Duck at coinflips, now he actually is asking me, "no way", gonna know when not to get hustled, especially when 2 guys already owe him those whiskey bottles...

Oh well, the CS match just ended, SK lost to NoA, and we have to face World Elite in some minutes. Reis made the bet for a Lounge account in case they win, so I better make sure I get all those World Elitists as tired as possible with my dual salt/sugar popcorn combination.

M&M says, better thin and fast, than fat and slow.

Day 2 - Saturday 15:30

After sleeping for 12 hours (Was needed after the 48 hours with only 2 hours sleep) we are back at the venue. Laps are set up, internet addiction feeded and we are now going to go watch a CS match, take pictures and I, Mercy, am actually going to conduct a few interviews, since no one else can seem to be bothered *cough someone feels guilty? cough* , so let us see which players I can victomize throughout the day.

A funny sight was right before we went in, as Jesper Nordahl and I became smuglers,  felt like a mexican on my way on a donkey trying to sneak by the american border patrol, only thing different that we weren't smugling any drugs, but merely DONKIN DONUTS and some wannabe Starbucks coffee from the same shop, as the Cinemaxx people don't allow us to bring quality stuff but force people to drink their semi cold coke without bubbles and white coffee without coffee taste, so smugles we became, yiiihaa :)

I'm off doing some interviews and taking some pictures now, but I am sure the other M is soon writing something more here, so stay tuned for more dissasters and wanna be journalist reports.

M&M says, why go to an ATM, when you can go to StarBUCKS.

Day 3: Sunday: 15:44

Oh well, I just watched Susiria lose as human vs Lyn and there by the match 2:4, you could say that the M&M's are now starting to melt....But we have stolen a manually driven cooler so we are now trying to cool things down and come back as rage against the maschine, so let's see, everything is possible and we are going to say "Expect the unexpected".

Before that the M&M's slept until 11:00 trying to recover from last nights losses in poker, we could say that the color was more or less gone when we left the tables, so we needed like 10 hours of sleep to regain our powers and now they are back, well almost.

Now 2 hours after I forgot that I actually semi-updated this diary, due to intense games, I am back (Mercy), but I am sad to tell you that the Other M has melted, not sure whether it was a nuclear meltdown or if redbull, donkin donuts and M&M's simply don't go together well as a combo, anyway, he is done for now, i wiped him up and added the remains in the quite empty bag -.-

Its now 18:43 and the deciding match Moon vs. Remind is live, a NE mirror match decides the glory and honor for our fantastic fighting MYM players, will the donkin donuts and redbull with which we have been feeding them do the trick? We will see. For now this is the last M&M checking out, as I have to reach my plane in around 1½ hour and with a 30 min drive to the airport, i better try and be on time for once in my life.

Thanks for now guys/girls and not last the new M&M fans, you guys color us bad! ;)

M&M says, why breath and walk, when you can fart and fly
