IdrA and Incontrol also hopefully will do well. I don't want anyone to fail, can't say there is anyone I remotely dislike or anything. EDIT: Changed Jinro to IdrA cos Jinro is in Korea. | ||

Bomber - Because a Korean losing a MLG hopefully will help the "Koreans are so much better, dosn't even compare, stay away from Korea foriegners, etc. etc." 2. Losira - Same as Bomber 3. idrA - Getting tired of his approach to the game - "Everyone else OP, this game is retarded" is annyoing to keep hearing, especially in a period where Zergs are doing great. I wouldn't neccessarily say Zergs are doing great. Nestea is doing great, because he's fucking ridiculous. The only other Zergs really winning anything recently are Idra (IPL) and Losira (Code A), as opposed to Terran and Protoss where a load of players are winning stuff all over the place. | ||

1) KiWiKaKi- As a player who consistently does well in MLG, since he switched over from WC3, placing in the top 3 of quite a few tournaments, I really want him to finally get the gold after just getting second so many times. In the last MLG, KiWi seemed to be on a rampage, 2-0ing everyone, huk, idra, etc. until finally losing to Naniwa 2) MMA- MMA is known for very clutch play in the GSTL, pulling off wins against very strong opponents when the pressure is on. 3)Thorzain - Say of him what you will, what he showed us in the TSL is that he's very capable of solid play against any opponent, pulling off wins against very strong players, fruitdealer, MC, and coming back from being 3-1 in the hole against Naniwa, who was coming off a huge winning streak in the last MLG, only losing 2 games to the aforementioned KiWiKaKi To do poorly I really don't want anyone to do poorly, except I do want gretorp to either show that he is capable of doing well at the 16th seed or be put into the open bracket | ||

1) Koreans: Curious to see how they will do in their first foreigner tournament (for most) and how they will combat/overcome jetlag as well as the MLG format and maps (vs GSL). 2) ThorZaiN: Definitely a talented and amazing player. Hope to see him showcase his skills in a tournament format, without weeks of preparation on a single match-up. 3) MajOr: Lots of hype, positive and negative. Interested in seeing how he will perform in his first major SC2 competition and if we will get a glimpse of his real skill level. | ||

SeleCT - This guy has been performing well consistently at MLG . Been topping the NA since he got back from korea and has been my favorite player for quite some time now. I think he deserves to win MLG soon. Fxomoonan - He got 8th last MLG and showed some great games and has consistently been at the top of NA ladder. He also won a courage tournament in BW i suspect great things from him. Kiwikaki - He has been in the finals twice. He is fun to watch and just a great player i think he also deserves a win. Slush - Hasn't been doing as well as of late but has been consistent at MLG and is fun to watch. I hope he does well. Lose: Nobody obviously I don't want anyone to do badly at MLG. | ||

2. Idra - He left Korea to dominate the foreign scene. Aside from that good IPL result he's not done that and really needs to win another big tournament to reclaim/cement his place as a top foreigner. 3. Thorzain - He's a one hit wonder right now. Needs a big performance here or at Dreamhack to show he can play without weeks of preperation and consistantly in a lag free/lan enviroment. | ||

To Win: Naniwa, Select, Kiwikaki - all 3 are consistent as all hell in their game play so nice to see it pay off for them. To Lose: Idra (just to see everyone rage on TL and give excuses on why he lost), Incontrol (just to see everyone rage on TL about him being overrated), Catz (his last blow up and constant crying about Koreans in NASL being unfair to lesser players, would love to see him get kicked out by Koreans) | ||

Thorzain played Fruitdealer (Kor-Eu, which I think was just played on NA), Tyler (EU-NA), MC (Both were in EU when this happened), Kas (EU-EU), and Naniwa (NA-NA, a room apart). The only match which you could even argue that was influenced by lag was him vs FD, and more went into Fruitdealer's loss than latency. | ||

Have you ever actually tried to play a game, any game, with 400ms? I don't think people realise quite how awful that is. | ||
