Idra and Naniwa will probably be somewhere around 8 and 9th, after all the good koreans/huk. My favorites to win it 1.DRG 2. MVP 3. Huk I have no doubt that Huk vs DRG will produce the best games of the tournament. DRG is the king of muta/ling counter attacks. Huk is the king of defending against muta/ling counter attacks. Huk vs DRG on Taldarim Altar will produce the greatest game of Starcraft 2 ever witnessed. DRG vs MMA will also be epic. 4 marine drops occuring simultaneously vs insane zergling/muta counter attacks... | ||

I really hope they scrapped the entirely awful "extended series" thingy. It randomly gives you a double disadvantage if you lose a game once in the group stage and randomly get to play the same player again. Despite you already having lost points to him once, you even get to start with a penalty the next time as well. | ||

Unless you think Sheth is better than Sen, Incontrol is better than Mana and Socke, Sjow is better than Cloud, and IdrA is better than IdrA of then, then don't write Boxer off completely. It is true that he prepared more than most for the NASL (he got 2nd to Ret btw), and that his TvZ always had a proxy 2 barracks in it, but he is not some scrub who is falling on his legend status. Give the guy some credit. I was annoyed by Sotg when they didn't even mention Boxer as a contender for taking his group. If Boxer beats Idra in the first match, then i can definitely see him taking the group, even though he is not a strong favourite. | ||

There are way too many great players that end up getting knocked out in the open bracket because another great player is in it as well. The competition at every stage of the tournament is just way too fierce for the current system to actually make any sense. Or open up a 7th slot so 2 qualify to each group from the open bracket. The top players should of course be given privileges | ||

Also, this MLG is so stacked with so many players with huge potential improvements, that the only things i feel comfortable predicting is 1)there will be upsets (this is the obvious predcition, but i also think it'll be more than usual) 2)FXO and EG will make better overall appearances than previous MLGs 3)Tyler will do well in open bracket. i just got this feeling that he's got some good builds and better than his normal practice 4)DRG will not make 1st in pool play. He's got a complete death group and his interview showed that he didn't pay attention to his opponents (when zvp is IMO his worst MU) and he doesn't think anyone but a korean could take a game off of him. So hate me if you want, but i'll be right. 5)Sheth will show up to MLG as LiquidSheth (sorry just happy ) | ||

He has not won or even placed in the top 3 in any major international tournament for the entire year. I'd say that there are several foreign players ahead of him. Including Huk, Naniwa and Thorzain. Idra is possibly top 3 in the American scene, however. I'd actually even hold SaSe as a stronger player than Idra right now, as I believe him to be the most underestimated western player currently, but that is more a matter of opinion and nothing I expect people to agree with. | ||
