I agree with the OP about Destiny, from what I've seen of him recently it looks like he's put in the time and effort and has become a really good player.

I would love Tyler to do well, as well as qxc after his recent results.

As for players I would like to do badly, the only one I can really think of is IdrA. Don't get me wrong, I really like , and he is undoubtedly fantastic, but i feel he's stuck in a rut and needs to be kicked out of it!

Just one pick to win, SlayerS_BoxeR. He picked up Starcraft 2 because of the fans. He deserves everyone's support.

To win:
DongRaeGu (want to see him in Code S)
SlayersS'Boxer/MMA (want to see them in Code S)
LiquidHuK (respect players who are working hard to achieve something)

To do well:
FXO (in general)
MajOr (I know popular opinion is that people want him to fail due to his relentless teamhopping and bm in the past. I see great potential in MajOr who can show us great games in future.)
IdrA
Naniwa
DeMusliM
PainUser :D (tho I don't see that happening with the commitment he has with IPL)

To have a great time:
All the Koreans so we might see them more (and in better quality) in future foreign tournaments.

To fail:
EG (-IdrA)

To Succeed:

DeMusliM - Please achieve something noteworthy and don't choke early on, really want to believe in you
HuK - My Canadian side fighting, genuinely has a decent chance too!
Naniwa - Loveable guy really

To Fail:

Koreans - If I wanted to watch the GSL finals I'd watch them, I want to watch foreigners duke it out
IdrA - Every time this guy crashes out of a tournament it's hilarious, just wanting to see how he chokes this time
Major - All round uninteresting guy, can't bring myself to care about him

My hopes:

Do well:

QXC: This man practiced really hard (fully comited) in korea so in my opinion he deserves one of top 3 spots
KawaiiRice: I really like this kid play style but he hasn't got so much success this year (on tourneys)
Boxer: If he wins anaheim it will be the best comeback ever.

Do poor:

no one really...

Players I want to do well:

-QXC (bandana man): If he got a Jedi robe last time,what will he get if he takes down MLG???
-Jinro (Gorilla Terran): Last year his awesome run started at an MLG event,I hope the same happens this year as well.
-SlayersBoxer(The Emperor): If anybody should get a Code S spot,it's this guy, The more games of him I can see televised,the better,

Players I don't really want to fail,but don't care if they do well or not:

-Idra: He has the best understanding of a game I've seen out of anyone when he commentates. Yet in-game,he's a whiny little kid who doesn't gg even when he loses straight up,just to keep the fanboys satisfied with his "BM"
-Most of complexity's roster: Catz,Drewbie,Cruncher etc. A bunch of mediocre NA players who think too much of themselves. As the international scenes merge,these guys will fall into obscurity.
-Choya: I still don't like him,even though he showed some skill in the GSTL against QXC.

What a terrible OP... Spanishiwa is hardly overrated, no one is going around saying he is the best player ever or anything, and he is the first to admit he is nowhere near the best. Slush earned his places in previous MLGs and you wishing him ill for no reason is pathetic

Succeed :
- Jinro : cause he deserves it
- Spanishiwa : cause the OP wants him to fail, so I need to balance his karma
- Boxer : cause he needs his star to shine again
- Tyler : because he looks soo sad this days

Note that 'succeed' does not mean "win", it depends on the player, for instance i guess that if Spanishiwa was to take top ten he would be very satisfied.

Fail :
- Destiny : can't help but midly dislike the guy, sorry
- DRG : cause it would show he's human
- Idra : because he needs get out of "zerg's underpowered hence I can't win" state of mind of his, and practice seriously
- Major : because a kid should not play with grown ups, even if he's so good

Win:
- Destiny (same reasons that keep getting posted, he's improved enormously and is due a good tournament showing.)

- Tyler (huge Tyler fan for ages, and imo he's probably the most underrated player in SC2 right now, I hope he owns Anaheim up!)

- DeMuslim (He's amazing, and is due a good result)

HayprO and dde are my honourable mentions, love them both and really want them to do well.

Fail:

- Incontrol (Overrated)

- Spanishwa (Couldn't agree more with what was said about him in the OP)

Hopes to win:
All koreans

Hopes to fail:
Foreigners

We need the good players to win it all.
I can't stand seeing players win that don't deserve it. GOGO KOREANS!

Oh and I'm sure that I have the best guess here =D.

2 koreans. srsly people think that if they're korean then theyre really good its kinda annoying
3 major - his immaturity is annoying

Hopes:

The Koreans
Maybe cheating to group em all, but I'm huge fans of nearly all of them. If I had to order my preferred best performing to worst, I'd say...
Alicia > MMA > MVP > DRG > Boxer > Ganzi
Damn, there's more than I remembered. It's my favorite SlayerS' members with MVP, DRG, any of them winning this MLG would be epic. Alicia vs MMA being my preferred (epic) finals.
Normally I'd say I hope the guy on a slump takes it all down, but just about all of these guys could really use a win, none of them have been showing their potential lately. Whether it's MMA or DRG getting their Code S spot, I'll be happy, because they need it, badly. I'm confident one of them will.

Idra
Huge fan of his, this guy has been needing a big win for a while now! He's amazing, capable of beating anyone, unfortunately he seems to play below his normal level as soon as he's up against real competition (Koreans), or just kind of loses it in the finals (dde, Sen). His group looks very beatable - top 6 should be easy for him, but can he do better?

Jinro
I'm not the biggest fan of his, but it is saddening how he's kind of fallen out of the spotlight, especially after how revered he was for his GSL accomplishments. I wouldn't say I'm hoping he wins the whole thing, but it'd be great to see him get to the Pool Play and show us why people once called him the best foreigner - with some epic games.


Fails:

Choya
If you read my hopes, maybe you saw it coming? Sorry FXO, not a fan of this guy's play, however cool he might be in real life. I'll be really disappointed if he actually makes it into Pool Play, he'd be a waste of a slot.

Destiny
I don't hate the guy, but his humor comes off to me as more annoying than funny. He's not all that good, yet he's hugely popular in the SC2 scene, which also annoys me, as he's more of a personality than a player (a personality I don't like). Wouldn't mind seeing him exiting early.

Cheesy / Abusive play
I definitely look down upon these types of strategies, as a spectator they really lower the enjoyment value for me. Unless it's Boxer, he can do whatever the hell he wants.


Almost forgot that Rain and FXOz will be at MLG as well. I don't have strong opinions about them, more or less neutral, but I know they'll do great regardless of what I think of them. Just hoping they don't knock my favorites out in the Open Brackets!

Lastly, I have to mention that I do hope this MLG runs as smoothly as Columbus did. As long as that's the case, the event is going to be epic, no matter what the player results come out to be!
