Win:

HasHe - Awesome Terran with great talent and ability

HuK - Because he deserves it for how hard he works and is just awesome

IMMvp - My hero

Lose:

Spanishiwa - Overrated

Destiny - Hes an OK player... but I mainly hate his personality and his troll fanboys that think they're cool. Also I hate trolls and that's what Destiny is.

Major - Immature and unprofessional behavior in the past

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

MC just isn't coming to Anaheim.

He is not really BM, he just knows how to get the crowd going. He is a very personable person (as it seems in other scenarios), and he just seems to like having fun.

It also just seems that he and IdrA have a bit of a rivalry going, so it's fun for MC to expand on it. MC is definitely one of my favourite players (I have a lot of favourites).

Now, I'm just waiting 'till NesTea comes to MLG. That will be great! Definitely one of my top 3 favourite players (Him, HuK, and MC, probably).

Gonna mix it up a bit. Had a long post planned but felt it was TL;DR material for most.

To WIN:
1. Boxer. Enough people has praised his name here.
2. Idra. Haters gonna hate. Top 3 NA zerg. If any NA zerg is going to pull a win, it would be him.
3. Incontrol. Love his casting, his play, and his mindset. Glad he's back to full time practice.

More than Honorable mention: DRG

To do well:
1.Tyler. I was never much into BW, I had only seen a few streams/vods. Tyler is one of the players who stood out to me as someone to watch. I hope he returns to form so I can see that shine again.
2.Spanishwa. Fresh air to a mostly stagnant scene. Not a huge name, not a powerhouse, but has shown play that's inspiring. Just hope to see a few of his games through open bracket and would like to hear of his experience.
3.Demuslim. Broken arm set him back a bit but his form increases pretty much ever casted match I can catch of him. Watching him and Idra play some practice games against each other was an eye opener for TvZ to me from both angles. One of the few Terrans I love watching.

Honorable Mentions: Machine. QXC. Vibe. Sheth. Team Liquid. WhiteRa. FXO

Players I don't want to do great/advance.
1. Major. Not a fan of how he handles himself at all. People point out similarities between him and say Idra, but Idra doesn't smurf to play in a tourney he's been denied access to. Was hopefuly after Artosis hyped him up but he has a ton of lessons to learn still it seems.
2. Cruncher. I don't get why people think he is anything special. He doesn't have the fanboys that say Spanishiwa or Destiny does, but when people defend him I'm left wondering why.
3. Spent 30 minutes just really trying to come up with a solid 3. Major rolled right off my fingers, Cruncher then followed. Can't really say theres a 3rd person that I could justify wanting to not do so well.

I enjoy this thread :D

I want to see all the koreans fail and the foreigners crush!
As long as my team plays well I can't ask for anything more.

TLO fighting - love his playstyle more than anyone's and his personality plus I think he has amazing potential I'm expecting him to come back hard now that his injury is just about healed
Idra fighting - baller
Jinro fighting - such an awesome guy but he's been falling behind I really want to see some new impressive play from him, i think if he keeps doing poorly his slump will just get worse he needs this

I don't really dislike any players or even their fanbases enough to say I hope for them to fail. There are plenty I expect not to win, of course. But if major or machine or choya or anyone else ends up wrecking shop and plowing kids then good for them and good for me because it will be entertaining.

I want IdrA to win just so that he can turn down the Code S spot that he already gave up once.

3 players to succeed:

1)sixjaxmajor: He gets a lot of hate that's when there wasn't a major incident, that's why I would like him to show some good games. He is also a really good player and I hope I can learn something from his games.
2)demuslim: I think he has had a lot of time now to train so he should be able to pull off a strong showing. I really hope I don't have to watch him hellion marine drop every single tvz.
3)thelittleone: He had some poor games in the last two MLGs and I think he can do a lot better so I hope he causes some upsets.

terran bias not intended

1 player to fail:

1)Destiny: He gets a lot of love and is said to be very smart. I disagree and on top of that I think he is not a good player at all. So i want him to fail pretty hard like last time.

Socke, Sheth & MVP for doing well.

This is tricky, but I hope IdrA does horribly, so that he realises that he can't practice two hours a day and get top5 every tournament. He is a really good player once he practices.

Spanisiwha, way too overhyped.

Last one, I dont know, any of the hyped mediocre NA players, like Destiny, Spades, desRow especially. I have no clue if qxc is going or not, but the way he has been acting, even though he had a great accomplishment allkilling IM is disgusting. I hope he gets smashed, so that he can get back down to earth.

Can't wait for the weekend, gonna be a nice break from all the horrible things happening atm.

yeah i feel there are a LOT of overated NA players. i dont want them to fail, but i dont want them to place higher than they deserve ; )

though at the same time, if they played some very skillful games all tourny, i would be more than happy for them to place highly

So.... you're hoping he fails just because people like him? Really, dude?

Lmao, seriously. You explained your reason hoping for Spanishiwa to fail is that because a lot of fans overhype him (to you, which I would agree with). That is rather hilarious/terrible/discredits the rest of this thread..

I want CombatEX and Deezer to do well (lol seriously). I would love to see what Incontrol and Destiny would say about that.

Win:
-Huk - Very entertaining to watch. Never know what you're going to get a Mothership rush!! After dreamhack(huk), I see him with a strong showing.
-IdrA - Favorite Zerg. Not afraid to tell it like it is. If he can get out of his group first, I don't see him having the display that he had last MLG this time around. His take on the game is just amazing to me, even though he has many haters.
-MMA - After last MLG, I really want to see how his style has evolved and terran has been dominating in the Korean servers lately. I'm in hopes that he goes deep in the tournament so that I can get a good view of his take on the match ups and game right now.

Lose:

Can't really justify any that I'd like to have a sub-par showing...<Bias>Maybe Protoss and Zerg? Go Terrans!!!</Bias>

MC won't possibly lose this tournament, just look at the pool...
