Don't worry, i will be your cover since i kinda agree with you. But i guess we will see.
Also, Jinro should be in the list. He is leaving today or so.

So pumped for this, lot of great players! Hopefully MLG Orlando will live up to the expectations that IEM has set

The few players on the original list that are worse than some of the ones you mentioned are there for PR reasons. I think Pokebunny posted a few too many, and some of those guys really aren't notable at all, but the bolded part of your post was just silly. Wannabecool and PainUser have made it to championship bracket before and players such as iNkA have come extremely close.
sorry I meant pool play, I completely forgot about the losers side.

nope he said he's going. i think he's on the plane right now..

The crazy thing about this player list is its not even the championship event. Cannot even imagine how many Koreans will be flying over for that. They might as well charter a plane.

Open bracket looks sooo nasty good...I would hate to be a random playing in there lol

damn crazy open bracket. this mlg is stacked as hell.

well if you are a random you dont have any chance of winning anyways, might be cooler to die to mkp than some medicore NA pro.

Haha I'm flattered that you think I'm a decent player but the truth is that none of us have a good chance at pool play with all the koreans and other foreign notables (sase, stephano, etc.) in the open bracket. As for top 32 overall aka championship bracket, almost all these players have a shot at it...

Yeah, he said like 12 hours ago he is "leaving for MLG in like 16 hours" on Twitter so if he hasn't left yet he will be very soon.

Wow, so many big names...
Get em White Ra!

This'll be the real test IMO, in terms of strength of competitors I think MLG is second only to GSL, and Stephano has to come through the open bracket, which is by all accounts brutal as hell.

Kinda makes you wonder why IPL3 open bracket was so small in comparison, considering the prizepool was 7x larger and paid the top 32 instead of top 8 like MLG.

<3 STC.
I hope he's hungry for that big win, but so many names in this tourney, nobody is favorite.

Exclamation points were to point out people who I thought were definitely a big threat if they're on their game.

...I honestly wish oGsFin would participate in this MLG somehow..I'm literally dying to see him play some bo3 matches. Maybe they can do a showmatch with him still somehow? ah ha...
I'm going to absolutely love this MLG, the only regulars here that doesn't seem to participating right now that would make this tournament near perfect is MVP and DRG...perhaps next time
