Win:

Destiny - I feel he's due to put on a good showing and go deep into the Open bracket. He's been improving lately and as long as he can keep himself calm and collected and doesn't have another Greater Spire mishap, (MLG Dallas) he should put on a good show.

Strelok - Not sure if he's competing at Anaheim, but if he is, I'd love to see him bust out with a deep run especially after his Ambitious Terran project during which he plays no less than 7 hours of SC2 a day, plays 1 hour of sports and doesn't drink a drop of alcohol. I think that he's due for a big performance.

Boxer - The King of Brood War hasn't really shown that he is up to the highest level in SC2 yet, and winning MLG Anaheim would show that he really is one of the best players out there. And I'm always a sucker for the comeback Cinderella story.

Lose:

Idra - Sure I would be a fan of Idra if he wouldn't rage so hard at the most critical times. He showed us at MLG Columbus that when he is calm and collected there are not many people who can take a game, let alone a series, off of him. Unfortunately Idra always seems to explode in amazing fashion and I'm just waiting to see how he does it at Anaheim.

MMA - Hate to pick a fellow Terran to lose but I think that it wouldn't be a very exciting MLG if MMA repeated as champ. One of the biggest stories from MLG Columbus was when Naniwa (MLG Dallas Champ) lost to MC because he was overconfident and had his zealots dancing in MC's base.

Major - After the unsportsman like showing he had in the SEA tournament by competing in it even though it was for SEA citizens only. I really hope that karma catches up to him and he is eliminated early. A scandal like that is just unacceptable in the SC2 scene especially when there are so many other tournaments around.

Idra has said many times he wasn't titled or not calm he just got outplayed. At least in the MC series.


If it wasn't rage then it simply wasn't caring enough about his extended series against MC. When he 2-0'd MC in macro style games to open MLG Columbus, there was no reason for him to do some variation of a roach ling all-in, that MC had already proven he could stop, TWICE in four games.

Wouldn't have mattered because in every other series MC has proven even at a giant deficit he will beat Idra in a macro game, doubt it would have turned out any other way.


So you're saying that the 2-0 of MC by IdrA at the start of the tournament was just a fluke and that there was no chance for IdrA to win 2/5 games by playing a macro style?

So outside of those two, I dunno who else is going who fits that category.. maybe someone like Avilo if somehow he conned a sponsor into sending his horrible ass lol.


Any ranking on tournaments should be based on skill imo, not if they whine.

People wishing players to lose because they're over-hyped is just silly. It's not a player's fault for being effective with unorthodox styles of play (spanishiwa for a while, destiny's big fan base). If anything, it just puts way more pressure on them to perform and, when they don't, everyone calls them overrated and spits fire.

I see MVP taking it all.
With MMA and DongRaeGu
Korean Terran is unstoppable lately after the super tournament finals, MLG Columbus and Puma at NASL 1. I dont see Korean Terrans dropping out without a fight to easily.
Saying that other Terrans really want a bite at the apple but after MMA getting devastated at the super tournament I dont see him wining MLG this time.
Wildcard to watch out for has to be DongRaeGu I mean seriously! His Zerg play is amazing lately and it wont be long until he is dominating in code S. However due to not having the Code S experience yet Ive put him as the wildcard rather than the top contender.
Biggest fail. As much as I dont want to say it. Boxer. I feel the Emperor isnt at the top of his game atm. When he finds form again Ill take all of this back and bow when I am asked.
Other fails Im going to see is Idra. As great as he is watching his IPL games they are not that "amazing" as well as Kiwikaki he hasnt been as dominant as he can be.

Want to see? Jinro find more form again. His recent surge in Code A means Jinro has his confidence to regain the outstanding form we all know he has. Id love to see at least getting to finals of open bracket, but hes got such a hill to climb just with the open bracket players like White Ra ect.

Hopes to win:

DonRaeGu- He's always made for some very entertaining games, and this being his first big even outside Korea (I think?) I hope to see him to very well.

Sen- Always one of my favorite Zergs to watch, he always seems to do pretty well, but I wouldn't mind seeing him take the whole thing.

SlayerS_Boxer- Do I really need to explain this? I think everyone wants to see Boxer do well. He wasn't been posting the best results lately, I think a good showing in front of his foreign fans would be something wonderful to watch. Fighting!

Hopes to fail:
EGiNcontrol- Well, what can I say? I've never disliked him, but during all the Puma controversy he didn't really seem to think EG did anything wrong. Hey bro, it's ok if you admit that the organization you work for didn't handle the situation properly.


Honestly that's all I can think of. I'd like to see a lot of the players coming from Korea do somewhat well. This includes the non-Korean ones as well, especially Qxc, I just don't want to see him do poorly after that all kill, I'm not a huge fan of him but I would like to see some major improvement since his time during Korea and who knows maybe I'll officially call myself a Qxc fan.

On some level though I kind of want all the EG players to fail miserably. I'd like to see any of the ones in the open bracket not make it through, the ones in group play to lose all their games humiliatingly. I know this won't happen because they've been training hardcore, but after the whole Puma thing they acted like they didn't do anything wrong; it wasn't the situation itself, just the way all of them handled it. However, I'll still be rooting for Idra, liked him before he was EG so I can't just stop liking him now, but was never a fan of the team EG, and was an "anti" until now.

To succeed

IdrA - really hope he comes into MLG with his head in the game(for example, DONT LEAVE WHEN HE IS WINNING ^^)
Incontrol - tired of people saying he doesnt belong in pools
HuK <3

HM : Tyler(guy needs some motivation he is to good for esports to stop playing) + Sheth(just because of all the hate he is getting from the FXO situation. Guy made a personal choice for HIS life. Stop judging him for it :D)

To fail

Major - just hate his approach to the game(SEA thing and his BM mules drops annoy me)
Destiny - love his stream for pure entertainment value but can not stand his fanboys or his playstyle.
Like most people I do not want to see a Korean all kill. It is better for esports as a whole for foreigners to be on the same level as Koreans imo.

On a side note, for all of you saying it is "bm" or "rude" to root against someone to fail, I just do not get it. SC2 is just like any other sporting event IMO and there are going to be fans from both sides that want their player(s) to do well and others to fail. That is the nature of (e)sports. Get off your soapbox and embrace the fact that rivalries make the experience better for all involved(if kept in good nature). For example, being from Ohio the OSU/MU game is one of the biggest days of the year simply because both teams/fans do not like the other team/fans. The key is to keep the rivalry mannered so to speak. Without the rivalry the OSU/MU game would be just another football game and would not be nearly as enjoyable.

Exactly my opinion. I really wan't EG to fail and like your hopes to Win. Would also like if Tyler did well, but only if it shows he has been training hard. Also have to cheer for my fellow Dutchie. Go Ret!

Ever heard of Karma? What goes around comes around; so in that case, I think IdrA is finally getting his taste lately, with his poor results in the past ~4 months. Major wont win anything big anytime soon IMO either.

Win/do well:

MVP - Hope he wins the whole thing. Love his TvT and his dashing good looks.
qxc - Nerd baller that showed incredible games versus IM
Boxer - Probably wouldn't do that well but I would like to see some innovative games by him.

Fail:
Destiny - If you want to talk about fanboys, the worse fans are Destiny fans. C'mon let's be honest here.
PuMa - Yup.
Idra - Does he even practice anymore?
