so for someone coming into the thread: there is no announcement (of an announcement) of BW players, and Adam just listed the top 10 players from TLPD like a chobo

T_T Anaheim will not be PPV, only the Arenas are.
To be honest, Championships are also PPV. You cant see everything without paying.

That announcement was made at 10AM yesterday morning, 4 hours before MLG_Adam posted at "announcement tonight at 9PM EDT".

And Adam said it had to do with BW pro. Or he was trolling us big time and it's not funny. AT ALL.

When he made the original post, it was Thursday, April 26th in North America. The timestamps on Team Liquid are according to Korean local time, which are like 15 hours ahead (hence "April 27th").
MLG_Adam was not trying to mislead us. So we can put away the pitchforks!
Edit: Case in point, it's Saturday, April 28th @ 7:18PM PST right now but this post has the timestamp of April 29th (~11AM)

Yes, I included a Twitter comment on the first page that implies that there would be early announcement(s) that won't be as big as the "huge" big announcement "later this month" (I'm guessing, the BW one?):
Adam Apicella (@MrMLGAdam): Link
@_Esca__ @sullyrabbit @kennigit @mlg the BIG announcementS (emphasize plural) have nothing to do with this HUGE one later this month

I feel like EG has passed the announcement troll torch to MLG.

Well these pretty much sounds like it has a relation with BW pros. Of course he never confirmed it but I don't expect a PR employee to go on a forum and lie (or troll depending on how you see stuff) when answering some pretty direct questions.

SpiZe, the hype was referring to his original tweet (about the "elephant" in the room), so he was pretty much confirming that we're right in guessing that we will see BW pros at MLG Anaheim.
In terms of: "One of the announcements tomorrow will be SC2 related and sort of related to this thread's discussion." - the "tomorrow" he was referring to was yesterday, not today (I explained it a few posts up). I think the announcement was Heart of the Swarm related? I really hope there's more to it than BW pros playing HotS, though, because that's not as interesting to me as them playing plain vanilla SC2 against current pros. And he did say "sort of related", so he wasn't being very specific to begin with.

T_T
As far as I know MLG has announced that their Championship events will remain similar to MLG Columbus. Two free SC2 gameplay streams, all non SC2 games will be free streamed as well. Plus MLG announced that the Bnet World Championship Series National Finals will be available for free and run/streamed through Blizzard.

lol Adam's hints and such are cracking me up Speculation is useless at this point but this will drive up the interest in MLG.

Why don't you guys just stop letting this speculation consume you and just wait a month to find out.

Fricken announcements. The one thing I hate about esports!!
