I am SO excited for more Koreans to come and take the prize money, I think it grows the scene and creates a hero story-line when a foreigner is able to take games off of the Korean power-houses that they send

I would ask Blizzard on suggestions on how to setup. Going to be awesome, so much space for a main stage. | ||

Im talking about what Thorzain and morrow had to go true? Read his fan page if you unclear. How is this even fair it seems to me there is a huge difference in treatment against players in pool play and in open brackets. Also its preatty clear that you accommendation to the koreans was special treatment. How is it that the korean players got so much better accommendation then some of our EU superstars that came from the open bracket and didnt get a free undeserving spot in the pool pool. How do you expect to get Thorzain and Morrow back to the next mlg or get the EU superstars White-ra,kas, Dimaga, strelook to come under these unfair and allmost torture like conditions? Morrow and Thorzain both traveled half the world to come and play this MLG and play sc2 I dont think they expect it to be more of a survival race then actually sc2. I and many other europeans are really looking forward to you responds. | ||

So you can tell the hotel, when you make your reservation, that 1, 2, 3, or 4 people will be staying in the room, and it is still 129$/night.

Then assuming Moon doesn't show up either, it would be Huk next but he's in Korea so you never know... after that it's Tyler. So it could be Drewbie, Thorzain, Sheth, and Tyler rounding out the top 16 for Anaheim. | ||
