Brackets are all the rage right now, being it the month of March and all. With the NCAA basketball tournaments upon us, we thought it was time to build an esports bracket to answer a very important question:

Who is the community's favorite esports pro?

This could mean the best player, this could mean your favorite personality, it could mean some combination of both. Regardless, we'll let the people decide who they think are the "best" esports pros, one by one, until we declare a champion.

Format

Voting will start Tuesday, March 14. Specific dates for each region are listed below with the matchups.

Voting will be held on our Twitter page until we reach a final four.

Voting will last for 24 hours per match.

Once we reach the final four competitors, we will move voting to ESPN.com/esports.

Follow us on Twitter and be sure to use the hashtag #ESPNEsports64 to keep up with the first rounds of the tournament.

http://www.espn.com/esports/story/_/id/18898094/your-favorite-esports-pro-espnesports64-esports-bracket

StarCraft players involved:
(T)Flash
(Z)Jaedong
(T)INnoVation
(T)ByuN
(Z)Nerchio
(Z)Scarlett

It's a shame that a Starcraft player is just unlikely to win the whole thing, but I am curious to see how far Flash and JD go in the brackets given the impact they had on esports as a whole.

Also, Flash is up against a Madden player and it's pretty funny to see the arguments go back and forth.

"I've never heard of Madden as an esport!"
"I've never even heard of Starcraft!"

Would be cool if they could get everyone to do 1v1 in something like Gang Beasts, Nidhogg, or Worms Armageddon to see who really is the best of the best...

"NuckelDu vs Scarlett FIGHT!!!"
a brief moment later
*crowd screams in horror* "OMG It's a bloodbath! Scarlett is just ripping him a new one ladies and gentlemen!
Oh sweet mother of mercy, I can't watch!"


And if Floe and Incontrol could cast it all completely unfiltered... Sigh, if only.

JD's pretty screwed, he's up against C9 Sneaky next round.

HotBid said something on Twitter. Its really silly to have Flash as an SC2 player, it'd be like having Michael Jordan down as a baseball player.

JD is also an SC2 player apparently. Although he was certainly more successful than Flash, it's still ridiculous to me. I think they just decided that they would only go with players that had played in the more modern game. I'm pretty disappointed someone like Bisu or Boxer isn't on that list either.

I don't get the feeling this is a representative competition in any way. In would be more interesting if a credible journalist did this as a period of articles instead.
