‘MAL presents: MAL-Show’
MAL presents: MAL-Show is a pilot show that will be hosted on AfreecaTV on the weekend of July 11th and the following 17th / 18th. MAL in Korean means speech, to speak or talk. So the title basically means, Talk Show.
MAL Presents MAL Show Schedule!
Day 1 – July 11th 2015 12:30 AM EST / 9:30 PM PST !
Day 1 will consist of 4 matches, and the focus point for the Day 1 is to find the loser of all.
Match 1: “Cheapest Defense Control (Korean Title: 최저가 컨트롤)”
Arcade map on KR server that gives series of challenges (waves) to the players.
Players make the cheapest compositions to defend a wave. Whichever player creates the cheapest composition gets the play first and the one that clears the wave gets the set.
Match 2 & 3: Standard Bo3 1v1
The winner of Match 1 picks map orders and player match ups for the two Bo3s. Winners are out of the tournament as the prize and will be joining to cast Match 4 to find out who loses to serve “penalties” on Day 2.
Match 4: The Loser’s Match, Standard Bo3 1v1
Each winner roots for a player in Match 4. They also pick a map each. The winner of this match is also out of the tournament, and the loser of this will return the next day for the actually talk-and-play component of the show.
Day 2 – July 12th 2015, Time TBD
Day 2 will be held for 2 hours This day will be all about ‘playing with the Pro, as for all matches, Viewers will be picked to play either with or against the loser of Match 4 of Day 1.
Match 1: 1v1, Pro vs Viewer. Main race with hp handicap disadvantage for the pro.
Match 2: 1v1, Pro vs Viewer. Pro plays with random with other in-game penalties.
Match 3: Player + viewer vs MAL + viewer. Standard 2v2, I don’t think this needs
much explanation.
Match 4: (if it gets to this point because matches ended too early): Arcade with the pro. The arcade will be either StarStriker or Zealot Hockey. Decision will be pending on progress. MAL will be off on the side “casting”, and 5 viewers will be selected to play the game, more opportunities for viewers to play with the pro!

Message from MAL:
Hello community. It is MAL, aka James the Translator from RBBG and WCS ’14.
It has been awhile since the second ‘MAL presents’, the series returns in Pilot form, thanks to the support of AfreecaTV!
As some of you may have seen from the previous two ‘MAL presents’ series, the events are meant to be creative. This upcoming event, although it says ‘talk show’, it is going to be very different from the others. One that merges both talk show components and educationally entertaining game play.
Thank you! And stay tuned by following http://twitter.com/sc2MAL !
