MLG Anaheim is just over a week away, and the more we learn about it, the harder it is to wait. You already know who's in the Pools. You know that Boxer, DRG, MMA, and MVP are coming, and that Choya and Ganzi will be playing in the Open Bracket. You've seen the schedule of streamed Friday matches. But even all of that isn't the full story.
Debuts, Reappearances, Veterans
The Open Bracket in Anaheim is so full of talent that it's practically a Championship Bracket of its own. Spanishiwa will be coming, for his first MLG ever. So will Millenium's ToD, dignitas.Merz, and Warcraft 3's SonkiE. These newcomers are joined by some players who we haven't seen on the Pro Circuit in a while: WhiteRa, Jinro, and Ajtls (LastShadow). Welcome back! And in addition to SlayerSAlicia, SlayerSGanzi, and ChoyafOu, two more Korean players will be hitting the Open Bracket: FnaticRain and FXOz (Twilight).
Apart from new and long-lost players, the Open Bracket is also packed with veteran talent. Here's just a sample of who'll be battling for the title the hard way:
Liquid`Tyler
FXO.qxc
Fenix
SixJax's Vibe, Major, Skew, and dde
EG's DeMusliM, Axslav, LZGaMeR & StrifeCro
HDStarcraft
Destiny
coL's FireZerg, Ryze, Catz, and Stalife
Agh
KawaiiRice
ThisIsJimmy
Pokebunny
FnaticTT1
In short, the Open Bracket is insane.
Get in on the Action
If you're going to watch from home, make sure you get a Membership so you'll have ad-free HQ, access to VoD while the tournament's still going on, and a load of other perks and discounts. If you're lucky enough to be able to come out in person, be sure to get a Spectator Pass. Then check out this handy Guide that should tell you everything you need to know about going to a Pro Circuit Live Competition.

I love MPV! 
Also the open bracket list looks awesome. Hopefully Alicia can get out.
|
Open bracket is so stacked. I would venture a guess that EGPuMa will also be in the open bracket, going to be such a sick tourney :D
|
Is HD a good player ? Or is it just for fun ?
|
Wow, the lineup at this MLG is unbelievable. I am going to be glued to my computer all weekend..
|
Sick, it's insane how many good players are fighting for such a small amount of money Will be epic! I hope jinro can claim the title again
|
Wow, am I glad I bought tickets to this one.
|
Cool! Looking forward to this event!

Maybe you should add Axlav to the EG group, he's on the team as well, and we don't want him feeling left out.
Also, isn't Cruncher going? Perhaps not, but I thought so. Anway, the Open is crazily stacked in talent.
|
oh yeah grandpa-toss @ mlg.... awwwweseome
|
JINRO! Forget the fairweather fans, I believe he can do well.
This MLG is shaping up to be looking even better than the last one, which is really impressive.
Edit: Wow, Spanishiwa will be there, too. Hope he does well.
Edit #2: Bah, too bad Slayers Ryung still isn't going.
|
holy crap open bracket is crazy.
|
I reckon HDStarcraft is going to win it.
|
I like that HD is actively trying to improve his ingame skills by competing. In the long run, casters will need a solid understanding of the game, not just have a good radio voice.
|
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Liquid'Nazgul should compete so that the entire teamliquid roster is playing (To the best of my knowledge?). Also so should HotBid.
|
OMG Jinroooooooo, smash some nerd skulls!
|
Awesome, hoping Jinro begins his comeback there!
Funny thing, I was thinking it was gonna be "White-Ra and Jinro to EG" halfway through reading the title.
