Tyler - He was one spot off from qualifying for the championship bracket. If any single player currently in pool play declined invitation, then we'd all be blogging about how this may be his last chance for redemption. If he places high, he's back in the champ pool, where he belongs. I see enormous potential in him, but I don't know if he has the drive to succeed anymore. White-Ra - I've been a fan of this guy since BW. I really hope he makes a deep run, because he needs to place extremely high in order to secure a seed for the next MLG. Sadly, even a fourth place finish might not be high enough to secure a seed. If he doesn't place high, this may be the only time we see him compete in MLG for the rest of the season. Boxer - With a little bit of bracket luck (namely avoiding DRG) he actually has a good chance of taking this tournament. The current trends in Korean TvT favor his playstyle, and he has been performing very well against foreigners. This may be his only chance to get back into GSL. If he can make it to the finals, then it will be super epic, because Koreans can't get the Code A invites, only Code S. So there will be a lot more on the line than usual, if this happens. To fail: Idra - The hissy fits he throws are more entertaining than the games he wins. His performance has been on a slow and steady decline, most likely due to a lack of practice, so I hope he crashes and burns. Only way he'll get his priorities straight. I am seriously wondering what he will do to throw away an almost certain victory this time. Sheth - FXO might be willing to let his complete and utter abandonment of his team slide, right in the middle of GSTL, but I view it as pretty low. He had an opportunity to live and train with the best of the world and turned it down, so I hope his results end up an accurate reflection of his work ethic. Drewbie - I had trouble deciding on a third player, so picked him out after taking a look at the brackets for someone who is placing high mostly due to bracket luck. He has very few wins over notable players in MLG, and in the 2011 season hasn't won a single game in the lower bracket. He's only in the champ bracket because he had the easiest pool at Dallas. MMA, Ret, and any open bracket player will smash him this time around. | ||

He is practicing way more now. | ||

Tyler - I've always liked Nony since BW, smarter than Koreans and has good enough or even better mechanics than Koreans. If only he could practice like the Koreans Ret - Same as Tyler Boxer - Your not a Starcraft fan if you don't root for the emperor I don't care who fails | ||

-Cruncher - I like his stream. He's on complexity. He beat Idra before. I enjoyed his TSL run. It was also surprising how far he got last MLG. He beat KiwiKaKi in a PvP. -Major - He made it very far last MLG by advancing through the open bracket. I think his macro is great and his mechanics are outstanding. I like the fact that he has many aliases. -Minigun - I like his stream. He's on complexity. He beat Idra before. I like his protoss style. I like his overuse of probes and use of storm drops. -(Drewbie) - He's on complexity. I think he can become a good terran with good training. He's decent at TvT. -(Silver) - If he ever competes again. -(Masq) - see above -Anyone who beats Destiny or idra. Hopes to lose: -Spanishiwa - For creating the style that I have a hard time dealing with. -Destiny - I dislike him for using infestors and infestor drops. I dislike infestors. I dislike that he beat Bomber with infestors. I like the drama when he loses. -Idra - Only reason is because there is always drama when he loses. -Anyone who uses more than 5 infestors in a game | ||

He is practicing way more now. however, idra tilts harder than an amusement park ride, so any promises he makes now will probably evaporate in front of the spotlight. his mechanics are top class, but his decision making often isn't, engaging battles he can't win, and taking way too long to decide a target when he's maxed, giving the opponent an extra round of units he shouldn't have. so even if he doesn't outright leave, there are plenty of other ways i've seen idra blow massive leads. | ||

Rain (he signed up right?). Everyone should vote for Rain because he's now on Fnatic! (though I was a fan before he joined Fnatic). MVP Boxer Lose: David Kim (David Kim is secretly sneaking in >.>). Dustin Browder (as an associate of David Kim's. Yes it's not the other way around) Bobby Kotick (Bribes the officials so David Kim can "sneak in". Why is Bobby Kotick here and why does he care about sneaking Kim in? No one knows.). Actually I don't really have anyone that wants to lose (except David Kim of course)... | ||

Boxer. Obvious comeback. MVP. Obvious slump. White-Ra: Be a family man~ spanishiwa idra and destiny for top16 no further. if you want to consider that failure. zerg playstyle has mostly been unimpressive to me. Maybe it's just the mechanics. I'm not GM. | ||

Destiny - funny guy and I wanna see him do well IdrA - Easily a player who deserves to win based off his understanding of the game. TLO - He's been on rest... He's gotta come back with a smash To lose: MC <- very BM over cocky ass MMA Protoss | ||

In terms of his BM and cockiness, honestly I'm not sure if that's his true feelings or its just an act. When he casted with TotalBiscuit (for example), he seemed like a normal okay Joe. Same with what he said when HuK beat him (he said he no cry because his friend won and he won a lot of money already or something like that >.>). Finally his mom (in GSL season 3 interview in Finals), said he is a good boy >.> and that he doesn't really act that way off game. | ||

It seems you were over confident in your reading comprehension, that or your attention span. Also who wouldn't be "over" cocky when you're the most successful starcraft 2 player to date. Also umad because MC knocked out Idra out of 3 tourneys  | ||

-Destiny He is such an underrated player, yet a lot of his games are so fun to watch and he plays very well in all of them. -iNcontroL I just love watching Geoff play, and the amount of stuff he does for the Starcraft community is astounding. -IdrA Definitely one of the best Starcraft players mechanically, and probably the best Zerg, and with his recent figuring out of ZvP, I really do think he will do very well. Naming who I want to fail is very disrespectful, so I will not be doing that. | ||
