Many reasons of why to be hyped for this event:

First of all, many people complain NA doesnt get much spotlight or opportunities. Its safe to say that at Anaheim we will have most of NA potential and high caliber players, and who knows, we may get surprises from many of those semi-known players. Good surprises. Its a great opportunity for them to show their skills and talent, and for the fans to get to know them. THIS IS GREAT.

Now, there are great foreigner players attending, and not just counting the obvious ones. Maybe some of them havent won major tournaments or gone head to head against Code S players, but still, it would be very wrong to not count them, and worst, not play seriously against them as KR players. Who? All the qualified players to begin with: hendralisk, Huk, Illusion, Major, Miniraser, Petraeus, Puck, Scarlett & TLO. GOOD STUFF. This is a great initial line up for foreign players.
As for the open bracket ones? Caliber, Catz, Desrow, Harmstem, Iaguz, qxc, State, Suppy, Vibe & Xenocider. This guys got it. Now they have to grab this chance and prove to all of us. Most of us. (Sorry Incontrol, Nony & Thorzain! I love you guys, and I really wish you prove me wrong).

We've got Korean power. Our own NA-KR power house duo, Polt & Violet. They've got it. Big time. Trap qualified in a quite stacked bracket, that should speak for itself. Rest of top Koreans? Well, look at this lineup: Alicia, Bomber, Dongraegu, HerO, Hyun, Jaedong, Keen, Nestea, Revival, Ragnarok, Seed & Stardust. Granted, they've not all be at their prime time. Most of them. Some are currently on slumps (HerO for sure, and he is the love of my protoss heart, DRG, arguably? JD is for everybody everytime he doesnt WINS, etc), and some of them of VERY LONG ONES (Nestea, the fact that you are still competing and we get to see you more often than MVP earns my deepest respect). But Koreans exist, and Koreans are going to attend Anaheim. Let the blood bath of KR vs the World begin. EPIC.
EDIT: Life? Well, there you go. Again, kind of a slump? MAYBE. Players attending scared of facing Life? ALWAYS.

Caster lineup is AWESOME. Day 9 I've missed for Oh-SO-LONG! Rotty & Tod are a blast together. Nathanias has proven himself time to time. And axeltoss was the face for MLG for a long time (only compared with Chriss Pucket, shoutout to you! Miss the halo days...) and he did a remarkable job.

And lastly, its Anaheim. Multiple time host of the best events around the world EVER. The venue wont let us down. The crowd wont let us down. The players & casters wont let us down. As for the viewers, counting myself, we should do our very best to enjoy this and tell MLG in our own far-away way that we want MORE.

Hype mode on.

I heard a rumor that MKP sealed himself in a shipping box to be sent to California but no one from prime got his note and are using the box as a coffee table.

I'm hoping for a deep run by Scarlett, Polt, Alicia or HuK. Preferably one of them to win.

An MLG without MKP is not an MLG.

to each his own, i'd rather listen to husky than artosis any day of the week. husky would make it a must-watch. not expecting him though, most people are big skill/knowledge elitists when it comes to casters

Anyone know if Destiny is going to be attending? I know he isn't casting but will he at least be there?

Yeah but he hasn't actually signed up for the tournament. I told him and Leenock to sign up but Choya still hasn't.. Would be awkward to fly to US to not be able to play.
