Holy nerd chill, batman! I can't wait. One of these days I'm-a ship myself to America from England and go to an MLG. It's just a shame none of my RL friends are into video games and I'll have to brave it alone

Oh well, looking forward to this weekend

GOM TV's plan isn't just about getting DRG into Code S. They also have high hopes for Boxer getting into Code S because he always guarantees high viewing numbers. If either of them gets the last GSL S spot it will be a success for GOM TV

About the group A Preview...TLO is not one of the best foreign players. It should be 2 of the best foreign Players instead of 3. Since Nani and Huk are definitly 2 of the Top foreign players.

Generally in the western scene, there is a big number of decent players. Players who do alright in tournaments and can on a good day take a map or two of the very best but rarely win anything.

Players like Socke, Kas, Tarson, White-Ra, Machine, Kiwikaki, Lalush, Merz and so on. Even players like Idra and SjoW belong to that group right now, they did win something in the past and may beat a top player but rarely win anything nowadays. They are on the top part of the spectrum when it comes to the decent players.

Then you have the real top of the western community. Players like Naniwa, Huk, Thorzain and possibly SaSe. Players who are able to win tournaments and even beat top Korean pros on a good day. Will be interesting to see if any other player has what it takes to belong to that group, or if Idra can return to it.

I know we're all saying to watch the best and the best only, but there's just a certain hometown hero atmosphere to a tournament with a handful of great Koreans and guest appearances by some Europeans sprinkled among basically all of the notable NA players.

Watching a tournament of only NA players, only EU players or only KR players simply cannot compare.

That was a good read.
I'm really looking forward to this MLG, especially with it being on the center stage and all, and if the Koreans are going to get to watch in their own language that's even better.
