All the top players playing in groups and their proportionally huge chances to win the tournament as a result of being seeded. No? Maybe so far but I think the poll is asking which storyline will be most interesting to follow as the weekend progresses. For me it's HuK trying to battle through the open bracket...he needs to have a chip on his shoulder from the way he played in GSL WC. | ||

Anyway, I picked TLO playing Terran because it's about time he had another big tournament showing and sticking with Terran is probably the right way. | ||

"ROOT players will begin having less success in StarCraft II. ROOT was comprised of a lot of mediocre players who did well early in the game because it was a young game. More skilled players will begin to take over the North American scene and outperform them as the game matures." - IdrA ooooooooo I'm so hype for MLG! | ||

IdrA needs to be given the whoop-ass of his life for being a dick. But sadly the chances are that even if he loses, he wont learn from it, blame blizzard and the game and continue being a pathetic individual for the rest of his life. He just doesnt deserve the fanbase and following that he currently has. Morrow and Dimaga are 10x more skilled and more humble than him. | ||

I am also looking forward to see how well destiny will do as his stream is damn fun to watch, as well as TLO playing Terran as main (ffing finally) as again he is very entertaining . I am also a massive Tyler fanboi so I can't wait to see him pown some boney nerd ass. | ||

Any of the pros vs Athene, I really hope they cast that match up. I'd be nice to see if his building placement, playstyle, and apm are all really the same as Kiwi live. And oh my god, the story. Winner interviews with Athene if he takes out pros? I imagine that'd be as entertaining as Moman's NASL application video. | ||

I hope he brings that kind of play to the MLG and not how he played in the TSL 3. Think the gracken can produce some good results. Hope he gets to kick Drewbies ass, that guy is such a douche. Idra will need some luck, seeing how Jinro has crushed Idra since January and recently lost to Drewbie and other ROOT guys in some clan wars. Dno why you guys like Idra so much, he isn't even that good looking | ||

I mainly want to see Grubby and AtheneWins, who I believe is just a big troll - or perhaps a seriously damaged gaming genius? We will see... I don't believe Grubby to have good chances though, so far. But his developement will continue rapidly, I'm certain. It's to be expected that the level his skill will begin stagnating at will be very very high and is yet to be reached. | ||

It would be stupid for him to show up after putting out a ton of videos stating that he is the Jesus of gaming and then get eliminated quickly, imo he has no chance of succeeding. | ||

Idra insulted some people in an interview, as he is wont to do, and those people happened to be ROOT. Catz responded by pointing out the blatantly obvious fact that this is nothing more than a PR stunt to hype the event and give a sidestory to this MLG. That's the entirety of the idra vs ROOT "drama." It's completely stupid and what's worse is people are buying into it. Drama can be good when it arises organically but when shit like this happens it's frankly pathetic. | ||

Most interested in the new Europeans incoming, specifically my hero Grubby. I don't think he's prepared enough to massacre through the gauntlet of MLG with their horrible format for newcomers, but it's only a matter of time before Grubby is on the top of the starcraft 2 scene. | ||

Lag, regame after a game had finished and a player gg'd, no commentary for spectators at the event after day 1, delays, delays, delays, taking 6 hours of a dead stream to realise that casting from replays would be a good idea. or Other: hilarious pics in the MLG day 2 thread to turn simmering mob hate into laughter after a 2 hour ingame pause. | ||

It's nice to have something to else to remember about MLG Dallas 2011! It's not the screw up.. It NaNiwa going through Open Bracket, and into the Grand Final without losing a match! If he wins (which he will) or lose it, that is the story! My God I hope blogs/threads/pics/vids/interviews with this guy gets spammed all over the place when MLG is done. | ||

It's about time players started getting branded as well. Hayder and Chris made a good run. They played well along with Geoff. Naniwa showed that he is still a force. As for Select and Kiwi. That was quite something else. They took it to a whole different level in some of those games. | ||
