Top 4 Open Bracket Predictions: CSN Korean, Morrow, Thorzain, Major. So much depends on brackets though, could easily have big names knock eachother out in the first or second rounds.

Really stoked for JF because I have no idea who that is apart from the stories of the legendary TSL 1. And all the hype he's getting. I guess it's a similar story to mondragon? Really cool.
Also thanks for the guy pointing out that it was the name spelled backwards. I saw everyone posting JF and I was like what? I don't see him on the list.
Sick line up and getting closer everyday

how does one aquire 0.048 Rank Points? lol

I think there was some kind of online ladder system where players without rank points could play for better seedings in the open bracket:

See how all those players with <1 points are on this list?

I don't understand how that ranking translates to the exact number of points though.

No one should be doubting JF's skill. This kid knows how to win. It takes him next to no time to get back into shape after inactivity, and he has such a natural skill for the game. Expect big things from him in columbus o_O!

I'm not sure if thorzain will make it through. We've seen hes spectacular at preparing for an opponent, but what about just going in match after match?

Skew: I'm really curious to see his level of play. If Artosis recruited him because they're friends or if he actually has some skill to back it up. If he plays like he did in BW he should be fun to watch.
JF: I have no idea how good he is but I have high expectations. So sad SC2 doesn't have Reavers.

Thorzain: Let's see how good he is without one week of preparation for one single opponent. I just hope he doesn't disappoint, I really like his play style.

Maybe a month or so ago on stream/state of the game/something else? i can't remember exactly
IdrA called skew the best macro terran in NA

nice draw

MLG Dallas 2011 drew 232. 271 for MLG Columbus 2011.

MLG Dallas 2010 drew 124 players.

If you are trying to compare the growth/rise of MLG numbers for a popularity purpose, the Dallas 2010 numbers shouldn't be listed as that was the max # of participants MLG allowed for the event. I know for most of the 2010 events they sold out and a lot of people who wanted to play couldn't.

As for the list, should be fun, that open bracket is going to be mean to some people

IefNaij is Jian Fei backwards, who won the first TSL. As for Skew, there used to be a BW player named Skew who played with Artosis and Nony back in the day - I think they mentioned on one of the SOTG that he "famously lost a Bo3 to Yellow in about 10 minutes total," but I don't know if it's the same guy.

I believe Skew is a friend of IdrA as well. IdrA stayed with him after he returned to America for awhile. He applied for NASL as well.
