I was wondering how many players who are foreign to the US are attending EVO. I will keep a list of foreigners attending EVO on this first post as they are announced/made clear.

The UK guys have their donations and looks like they will be attending. That's at least Mustard-LK4D4 , Ketchup-LK9T9 , A F0xy Grampa, UsedForGlue among others who escape me right now [remind me here and i'll update this post].

Personally I want to see ETC Mcfly take back Kung Lao's throne. ETC McFly is the only Mortal Kombat player who can enter the Matrix, after all. I have watched a lot of McFly matches from tournaments in Chile and learned a lot from his gameplay. However I'm not sure if McFly attending as of yet.

I want to see more foreign challengers to the EVO throne. Which foreign players do you want to see at EVO and which foreign players do you believe has the biggest chance of making top 8 or even winning? Confirmed for attending or not, talk about the players you want to see at EVO.

I'd like to see Metzos at EVO. Find out if he's overhyping Ermac or if he's truly ahead of American Ermac players.

I love that foreign players are coming. It's adding hype and intrigue to set Evo apart from the other big tournies.

Anyone from Japan. Frieda exposed human cyrax last year and had very unique set ups got top 64 and was fun to watch.

Are ya' ready for MK11 kids?!
I hope Helter Skelter is able to go, he's put just as much time and love into the game as the other UK lads that are going. Everyone here obviously would go to Evo for the experience first and foremost, but the investment:prize pool ratio is stacked highly against anyone from Europe, I don't really blame them for not taking the plunge out of their own pocket..

Wait, seriously? It had to take a Japanese player to show that Cyblax is legit? (I wasn't really following the game at the time he got discovered) This community baffles me sometimes, I remember when every Cyrax player bar Mustard and UFG thought the command grab nerf was the end all be all of Cyrax in general..

I think overhyping Ermac is the thing jejeje Ermac is not such a solid character as he claims him to be.

Unfortunately, Helter had to find a new job due to gamestation closing down all over the country, plus i believe he's looking for a new place in London. So he can't afford to go to EVO. He's really dissapointed he can't come, he was saving for it.

My blades will find your heart
1man3letters: I know he probably cannot come, but this is every Baraka players #1 wish. He would make a dent, for sure.
metzos13: Like everyone else says, it would be cool to see how better he makes the character look than anyone here(I do believe he would)
Hidan: He plays quan, quan is hella fun to watch
ETC Mcfly: KL is fun to watch
Under_The_Mayo: Very knowledgeable player
@Tony_T: Oh god this would be so fun to watch

That is my wishlist. Probably forgot some, but oh well.

J360 is the one who exposed Human Cyrax, at least for the US scene. He gets full credit for that one.
 
He doesnt play MK, which just makes that gif an even sadder story, its like raping bambi or something
I'm sorry but if you're a professional gamer by trade and you can't beat a cosplaying transvestite casual gamer who looks like Balrog in a dress then you have to take your share of the blame for getting beaten.
