BTW...if possible you guys should look into going to APEX 2012. IT WILL BE EPIC.
guys like Isai, M2k, PC Chris, Azen, KDJ, Cort, Cactuar, Chu, Chillin, Hugs, DA Wes(yes he came out of retirement), maybe Husband/Wife (for commentary)Wobbles, maybe Forward, Taj, Kage, Kirbykaze, Dr. Pee Pee, Mango, HMW, Shroomed, maybe Fly Amanita, maybe Silentspectre, maybe Darkrain, Kels, Tink, Dart, Cosmo, The Lake, Hbox, Axe, Jman, Hax, S2J, Armada, Amsah, Ice, maybe Calle W, Zgetto, Fuzzyness, Leffen, maybe Hack, Mach Dash, Souten, along with several other legendary Japanese melee players (Alex Strife is putting in work...I'm hoping for Bombsoldier/Masashi/Fumi is a stretch), Javi, EX, maybe Tuga (Mexico's top 3), and Eddie Mexico, maybe Dark(from Chile), Lord HDL (Puerto Rico), Sinji (Jamaica hype), I think there are a few Argentinians going, I even heard some Brazilian top players players talk about wanting to go to Apex, For all of you Dashizwiz fans he doesn't really play much nowadays, but his brother (smashmac) is going, so even he is a possibility.....LAST BUT NOT LEAST KEN IS A POSSIBILITY.
Thats only the list of players that you might expect to see at this event, for Melee. I f some of you play Brawl, there is alot of hype for that as well. I don't really know all of the top players but off the top of my head, there is Mew2king, Ally, ADHD, Gnes, Anti(a homie) along with several top players from Europe and Japan (Nietono, 9b, Kakera, hopefully Masashi, 9b, Rain, Gluttony, Ocean, Leon, Ramin/Mr. R, Bjay, Otori)
P.S. This is the link to the Apex thread take a look and see what the hype is all about
