GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM
for the second time in this string a comment i made was not posted. is this a glitch with the site or an over zealous moderator?since rysa4 made mention of the fact that he heard the tsm in our suite at this years ces, i thought it only fair/hones... 
GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM
