First two MLG events have been dominated by one man "Mew 2 King" using Meta-Knight no one on the circuit has been able to touch him. He has beaten his rival Ally numerous times now in Major tournaments, and the rivalry has lost its feel. M2K is untouchable thus far in MLG events, but will he be able to do it again? M2k over the summer won some big events, but he lost the big one. Apex 2010, ended getting third overall in brawl. Losing to the Japanese sensation Brood in losers finals. Larry or "DEHF" also beat him in winners bracket. He did how ever come back the next week and take Supercon with a much smaller amount of top level players, and just players in general. With Raleigh a week away can he take out all the top players in Brawl now? Is the MK match-up now even because of the knowledge of the player base?
Here are some players to look out for: Ally - the Canadian Snake who over the past few years has won over the American crowd with his high level play. But has yet to take an MLG event this season. At Apex Ally played at the high level of play were accustomed to him playing, but was knocked out by Brood, (Olimar) and his rival M2K (MK) Can he take out M2K, and finish with a gold instead of a silver. Next is DEHF or Larry, winning probably the biggest grass roots tournament of the year for smash, but has yet to finish in the top 5 of Brawl at an MLG event. Losing to a lower level Wario at Columbus. With tons of confidence, and his Falco playing at an extremely high level can he take out the top players at MLG Raleigh. Next are MikeHaze,Tyrant,DSF, and Havok. Four of the best players in SoCal have yet to truly make their mark on the MLG scene. Tyrant placing third at Orlando, and 9th at Columbus. Not showing up to Apex but losing at Supercon to MikeHaze, and Tearbear. MikeHaze still going Marth is bound to make something happen. Seems as people have forgotten that Marth is a very dangerous character and can still finish top 8, and Mike being one of the best players in the world is bound to make something happen. Havok, and DSF two MK players who do very well at tournaments still haven't truly made a splash at an MLG event yet. One of the two could place very well at Raleigh.
Now to the east coast players. Coming back to Raleigh to show how good Florida brawl really is the two FLA brothers Nick Riddle, and ESAM. Playing two very underrated/ Unknown characters in Zero suit, and Pikachu do very well at MLG events and are once again a threat at Raleigh. Next we have Atomsk, and ADHD two very strong players from the NY/NJ area who have done well at the last two events. ADHD not showing to Apex, and Atomsk finishing top 8 with his combination of DDD, Wario, and IC's. Last players I would like to talk about is the dirty south. Lee Martin, Gnes, and URazer. Gnes, In my opinion, with the best Diddy in the US and currently ranked 9th on www.smashboards.com wolrd ranking has still not made the move and beaten a high calibur player like M2K, or Ally. With the Diddy-Mk matchup I think he could possibly take out M2K. Lee Martin with the best Lucario in the nation finishing well at Apex, and other MLG events could possibly place very well here. Razer being a top Snake from Texas also has the potential to finish top 8 at Raleigh.
As for my predictions, goes as follows. M2k will once again take back his crown as the best Brawl player in the world, and win his third straight MLG title. Either DEHF, ADHD, Gnes, or MikeHaze will finish above Ally in either second or third. Ally still finishing top 4. DEHF making a run but not taking it home. Nick Riddle, and ESAM out of top 8. DSF, or Havok to take their spot along with either San, Razer, or Dojo.
My top 8: M2K, DEHF, Ally,Tyrant, Havok, LeeM, GNes, ADHD, and Dojo. Right out side top 8: MikeH, San, Razer, DSF, and Nickriddle/ESAM/CO18/Atomsk
