+ Show Spoiler +Oh yea HD's name was "HDGamer" and apparently he didn't win a game 
but that was to be expected, he was playing pros.

Did you miss a lot of the MLG action in Dallas live or off of stream. Do you want to know wth happened? Heres a little bit of info for you!
The top 8 out of the 128 players who attended MLG Dallas get money:
1st = $6,250
2nd = $3,750
3rd = $2,500
4th = $1,750
5th = $1,250
6th = $875
7th = $625
8th = $500
Who got Top 8?
1st = LiquidJinro
2nd = TT1
3rd = Pain.User
4th = LiquidTyler (aka nony)
5th = LiquidTLO (aka TheLittleOne)
6th = EG.Machine
7th = LiquidRet
8th = ROOT.drewbie
Who were some tournament favorites?
IdrA, LiquidRet, KiwiKaki, LiquidTyler, LiquidHuk, qxc, Dignitas.Select.
Biggest Upsets?
- IdrA gets knocked out of the tournament SUPER early (well for IdrA). Especially since he WON MLG D.C.
- TorcHgaming gets knocked out of the tournament SUPER SUPER early.
Biggest Suprises?
- Two players that have been off the radar for a bit (LiquidJinro and TT1) are the players that make it to the Grand Finals!
- PainUser who I thought was just a good friend of HD's makes THIRD PLACE! (and hes tall)
- TeamLiquid sends seven players to MLG Dallas that have never attended an MLG event before, and one half of the top eight end up being from TeamLiquid.
- LiquidTLO is amazing at Zerg (which he btw has only for a very short time been permanently playing).
Saddest Things?
- HDGamer gets knocked out without winning a game.
- LiquidTLO didn't win the whole thing.
- IdrA didn't rage (even though I love him)
- The finals got delayed by like two hours because of "technical problems."
The most important question for half of you out there, What were the best TLO matches?
- They were all amazing. In pretty much all of them there was creative infestor play. Who knew that you could crush your opponent in just a couple of minutes when you opened three hatch before pool. Im being contained? OK I'll just get burrow and tunneling claws and suddenly pop up under my opponents mineral line.
- Some really good ones were LiquidTLO vs LiquidHuK and LiquidTLO vs jeremiahthebullfrog
- Also check out LiquidJinro vs Sockeh (my favorite match of the tournament)
- Other stuff can be found at mlgpro.com

but that was to be expected, he was playing pros. I'm pretty sure he 2-0'd someone in the loser's bracket.
edit: Actually he didn't win a game but he technically beat Sheth because he wasn't there.
I would have to say Grack getting blunk was the biggest news.
Seeing a ton of Day[9] dailies with him and then seeing him come back fighting strong was awesome.
