I watched the latest episode of Inside the Game yesterday and they were (maybe not completely seriously) suggesting that MLG should let the pro players choose an intro song they play when the player walks down the aisle before a mainstage match.
It would make it feel a little more personal and it would be interesting which songs are chosen and by who. I´m pretty sure boxing has this and I for one wouldn´t mind if this would happen in SC2.
A potential issue would be that MLG would be forced to pay royalties or they might not be allowed to use a song a player has chosen. I don´t know exactly how these things work but I´m sure someone does.
So, what songs would you like to hear for which players?
Idra. Sometimes he seems unstoppable, sometimes he falls apart and sometimes he seems unstoppable but proceeds to quit the game. There is only one song that he should hear before a match.
Bomber. He seems to believe that he is actually better than everyone he plays. 99% of the time I agree with him. A song that would fit in nicely before the manner muling and unit dancing commences is this one:
Huk. Top 3 control, powerful and aggressive play and maybe a hint of cockiness. Also short and sweet. This song would be a good intro for him because it contains all that. (And it´s just a fucking baller intro song)
Yes, MLG would have to play royalties. I don't think think this is feasible.
That said, I wish it wasn't this way. I understand both the need of the recording companies to ensure the profits of themselves and their artists and the needs of audiences and establishment to share music. As it now stands, a large event like MLG that is streaming to large audience is not going to get away with playing popular songs without some payment to ASCAP/BMI.

This is true, but didn't NASL do the whole musical intros thing at the finals? From what I remember, they were pretty recognizable songs.

At work, so the video links are all not showing. Would love to see the name of each song as well. Otherwise idk what you chose. Will view after work.
My shots with a few random pros, sorry if people dislike mainstream NA music (i know some hate it):
Stephano= Look At Me Now, Chris Brown/Lil Wayne/Busta. Why? With the recent drama between col and mil, as well as his recent owning up of the ladder. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread about his last few days on ladder.
Idra= Born This Way, Lady Gaga....Makes me LOL Idra= Bad Company, Bad Company or 5FDP.
Fruitdealer/Tester= The Lazy Song, Bruno Mars. Nuff said
Nestea= Welcome Home, Coheed and Cambria (should be his finals entry song, he can do another for non finals lol)
If i had a list of pro's and could actually remember song names this could be a really fun game.
