EPTIn 2011 an ID alone is not enough to identify a player. On the ladder you’ll find imitators, wannabees, and plenty of people who just happened to pick the same name as many of the great players. Take Fenix for example, he shares his ID with more ‘folks’ on the ladder than any other player in the ro32s. In fact there are 899 players on the ladder with “Fenix” contained somewhere in their ID ( 697 exact matches). So when you tell your friends about the
Fenix vs 
Sen match make sure you clarify things. Not that you have to resort to the entire Jian Carlos Joan Morayra, but something such as “the Peruvian progamer” or “South America’s best” will work.On the other end of the spectrum are players who are ahead of the curve with the least common IDs on the ladder are players like
ThorZaIN, who comes in third with two accounts. 
Adelscott has only one, but both Adelscott and Thorzain are trounced by HasuObs who leads the pack with absolutely nobody using the ID not even himself with his ladder ID being mouzHasu.If there is any player who does not need to worry about a lack of imitators it is clearly
BoxeR and rightfully so. At the age of thirty this legend of the game has spent over a third of his life playing Starcraft. With just a bit more than two months of age on White-Ra, He has been called the oldest progamer, but he may have to return his title for T★SL 3. Would you believe Empire’s- Kas is forty-one years old? According to his profile at team-Empire.tv he was born 1/1/1970.There are no boys in this tournament, Morrow at eighteen is the youngest player followed closely by Fenix. If both morrow and Boxer can make it to the ro8 twelve years will separate them in a contest of experience versus youth.
All of the players may be adults but that doesn’t mean that all of them are over the legal drinking age in their countries. Two players line up to this description and as fate would have it they are playing against each other in the ro32. This means that either Idra or Cruncher will have to settle for sparkly cider to celebrate a first round victory while players like Jinro and Adelscott clearly don’t have that problem.
The two players who are located furthest away from each other are Fenix and Sen who are literally on opposite ends of the world. As if being the only players to have to eliminate a teammate in the first round was not bad enough they will be forced to do it with 17,000 kilometers worth of lag.
Jinro and MorroW, Ret and NaNiwa, Tyler and Strelok, and HayprO and Kas have all met each other before in international play; all other matches are first encounters for major tournament play. That's really all you need to know the rest should just be popcorn and soda.
I seriously can't wait for tomorrow morning! TSL3 time!!! woot!
