DRG - deserves a code S spot but hasn't had great performances in GSL. Hope he can play up to his potential. Boxer - Duh QXC - Seems to have been working really hard in korea. Hope he can bust out of his tourney slump and show a good result. To lose: Destiny - never seen a guy with zero achievements have so many fanboys. I guess that by itself is some sort of achievement. But its annoying to have him mentioned so much on these forums as a top player. Maybe he can shut me up by getting past the open bracket but I seriously doubt it. Idra - always fun to see him lose, makes for entertaining forum reading. Major - his recent actions speak for themselves. | ||

Think they're highly overrated. Hope White-Ra makes it, he's just such a great person and player. | ||

Destiny - people talked alot of shit about Huk now look at him. Destinys good but when you have players like Incontrol on the older state of the game say hes terrible then it just sticks. Then you watch incontrol only win because he can sneak a pylon in a base and 4 gate with 80 apm. Boxer- Hes fucking boxer Hopefully the Korean players along with Huk/Jinro just stomp through the competition. Wanna see a Jinro win. Fail Major eg col Hope eg and col just get destroyed | ||

1. IdrA 2. iNcontroL 3. Destiny Hopes to fail: I'm gonna go ahead and say "Any Korean besides Boxer". Am I a fan of most of the Koreans playing? Absolutely. But I think it would be pretty damn cool if we had all foreigners in the top five or so. I doubt it'll happen, but if it did, it would be another little wake up call that a few foreigners can actually compete with Koreans. | ||

BoxeR - Why not? DRG - Needs to get Into code S somehow. He's definitely talented enough to win it. Destiny - Was gonna go with HuK, but I'll root for both.  I don't care who fails. | ||

Tyler - Super big fan of him. I really feel like he has what it takes and deserves a good placement. I also really like his attitude, he just seems to really love everything Starcraft but has lost some of that fire with his recent shortcomings. iNcontroL - Say what you want about Geoff, but he had his ticket to easy street with all the casting and work he was doing for SC2, and gave it all up to completely focus on being a player again and only a player. I really admire that and can't wait to see how much his hard work has paid off. SlayerS_BoxeR - Doesn't really need an explanation. It's BoxeR, if anyone can give us an amazing narrative in Anaheim it will be him. I want to see BoxeR show his true glory in the international SC2 scene, and hopefully show us some things that we have never seen before so all of the people new to Starcraft can see why he is so revered in the community. I don't really wanna be a douche and say I hope someone to fail...so here is just who I expect to not do so well in Anaheim: IdrA - IdrA is kind of on the fence for me here. He is an amazing player. No one can really contest that. He has refinement down to a science and never fails to show strong play in whatever tournament he enters. It's his mentality that is holding him back, and until he improves upon it I don't see him winning anything big. TLO - As much as I have been awaiting the return of TLO, he is coming off a big injury and might not be in the greatest shape to compete in such a major event right away. I would be extremely thrilled if he was to place top 3, but I just don't see it happening. Destiny - Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Destiny hater, I love watching his stream for the entertainment value and I think he is great at what he does. I just feel that he is over hyped as a player and will have to prove himself to me, and a lot of other people I'm sure, before he gets a strong following. I didn't wanna put too many Koreans, but I'll really be rooting for MMA and MVP ( I am terran after all  ), and I think DongRaeGu is a little over hyped. But who knows, anything can happen, it's MLG! :D | ||

LIQUID`JINRO - He was the great foreigner hope 6 months ago, and now nobody even really talks about him anymore. Him was undoubtedly the best foreigner, and he was one of the best even among the Koreans. I'm a big Idra fan, but he got to the round of 8 once. Jinro got to the round of 4 two seasons in a row. Screw Polt, that kind of consistency isn't just a fluke. The only other people that have done that are Rainbow (in the open seasons) and Nestea (just happened this season). I hope that he tears everything apart and takes back his spot among the best of the best. IMMvp - He hasn't been doing very well lately. I was really proud of qxc when he all-killed IM, but I also felt so bad for Mvp. He was probably the most feared player in the world four or five months ago, losing only a single game during his first GSL championship run. (To Nestea, who he crushed 3-1.) I still think that he's one of the best players in the world, and I hope that a possible MLG win pulls him out of his slump. I also hope that he'll be impressed by the fans (and will go to tell Nestea about it, and convince him to come over, too). SlayerS_MMA - I've been a huge fan since he almost reverse all-killed Zenex when Slayers met them in the first GSTL. I watched when he beat Mvp in the ace match in GSTL 2, and when he beat Dongraegu in the ace match of GSTL 3, being down like 70 supply at one point. The dude is the clutchest human being in existence, and I honestly believe that he could become a legend of SC2. Unfortunately, after his MLG win, he got swept 0-4 by Polt, and was unluckily seeded in Code A, getting knocked out. (I think that MMA vs Puzzle could've been a Code A finals, honestly. He probably still wouldn't have beaten Puzzle, since his TvP is comparatively weak, but I think that he at least deserves a shot to be in Code S.) I hope he does well, and maybe wins and gets a Code S slot? I play Terran if you couldn't guess. Honorable mentions: Huk, TLO, Dongraegu, Idra, and fucking BOXER. I didn't include him in my top 3 because he's just a given. Everyone roots for Boxer. No one I want to fail. That's such trollbait, why would you include that? | ||

White-ra - Do you really have to ask? papatoss has taught me everything I know and He deserves this. DeMuslim - I want him to prove he can rebound from injuries and do it like a baus. Tod - Darkhouse pick... I know a lot of people remember Tod from the past; I am hoping he can figure out sc2 the way he did wc3 and this would be the start To Fail: Some of the Koreans... because most likely they will dominate again. Major - The kid either needs some brains or common sense ( both would work)... I don't want him to be the champion of anything. Idra - To hear about race imbalance and how tournament map pools decide tournies. (so much to complain about so lil time!) | ||
