Go Carl!

[kirdape3]

Marsh Usary got him. I suppose the only way that it's possible would be multiple Demigods, but it did go to 5.

[boris13]

Fuck that sucks really badly. Well at least he got that far. Marsh burn in hell. Good job to Carl and hopyfully Paul Cheon wins now that Carl is gone.


Well Marsh lost in the top 4 at least, but should be Carl's spot.

[Corg]

Damn freak gasoline fight accident!

[Janos_Wuryon]

Carl had a tough gig in game five as he mulled to 5 u believe. still a great run from the grinders to the final 8 huge congrats and I appreciate the syracuse homage with the orange shirt

[munkie]

Yeah lol. That was my idea. But he still did well and now he is on his way over to my place for a Top 8 celebration!
