    So, any other schmucks out there fork over 20 bucks for MLG this weekend?

    Who are you looking forward to, what match-ups are making your pants tighten, and what're your predictions?

    I'm routing for the usual Canadian suspects (Huk, Ostojiy), I'll be glued to whatever stream has Grubby on, and then there's Stephano....

    I've know absolutly nothing about the KeSPA players, so I guess I'll at least be watching without any bias.

    I haven't spent any money on it, but I'm going to watch the SC2 tournament over the course of the weekend.

    As always, looking forward to seeing MC play. Looking at the other players, no one terribly inspiring for me. The KeSPA invitational will be really fucking fun to watch, though. Wanna see Bisu play.

    Im watching it, but I haven't paid.

    I will say that I am very impressed with not only the production quality, but the actual interface for the streams as well. They've managed to make it very simple and easy to use, without any annoying UI issues.

    I am watching the SC2 matches, so far Stephano vs Polt were some great games. OTher than that, it's all a bit standard.

    Wish we had an MLG level championship in Australia. Might watch some of the streams.

    I've been mostly watching LoL for my eSports needs and I'm looking forwards to many of the potential matchups there. Mostly TSM vs CLG.eu.

    LoL can suck it. Gogo sc2. I'm rooting for Idra despite myself, because yeah. Otherwise, Stephano was pretty sick there, even though I don't like his playstyle.

    Rofl. I used to root for Idra, then I just ended up giving it up as a bad cause.

    I like Stephano's play style myself.

    I won't have any real favorites until we get out of pool play though.

    I'm watching the stream, SC2 pretty much exclusively. I used to root for Idra too, but Stephano has just taken over as the superior Zerg.

    Same, Idra used to be one of my favorite players to watch (back when he went muta nearly every match), but he's just been disappointing lately. Stephano's play isnt super flashy or exciting, but he's just so damn good you kinda end up routing for him anyways.

    There is one player that's currently in the losers bracket that I'm hopeing and praying makes it to the main stage for at least one game. MaximusBlack from LAGTV is in the tourney and has promised to break out the toga and chainmail if he makes it to the main stage, and that's just silly enough to have to happen.

    Probably the best match-up in the tournament.

    Who gives a shit, we have fucking Flash v Stork, Leta v Jaedong, Bisu v Calm, and Fantasy v Soulkey all about to happen!

    I am really excited and really mad (Bisu on a premium stream :( ) at the same time. Hahah.
