CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE LIVE STREAM (Goes live Friday at 5:00 PM CST)

Hey guys, this is Slasher, co-host of Live On Three with djWHEAT and SirScoots, and as I've done on the forums before for other events such as MLG Raleigh, MLG DC, IEM NYC and the EG Masters Cup, I will be providing live coverage from the floor of this weekend's MLG Dallas National Championships.

The event is being streamed live all weekend with commentary by Sean "Day9" Plott, Marcus "djWHEAT" Graham, and JP McDaniel.

MLG DC champion Greg "EG.IdrA" Fields (USA, Z) will be on hand to defend his title against MLG DC 2nd place finisher Kyung Hyun "d.SeleCT" (USA/Korea, T) Ryooa and a slew of opponents from around the globe. TeamLiquid has sent their entire team to the event including star German player Dario "TLO" Wünsch (T/Z) and Swedes Hayder "HayprO" (Z) Hussein and Jonathan "Jinro" Walsh (T) who have been in Korea for GSL, MLG Raleigh champion and mothership rusher Chris "HuK" Loranger (Canada, P), along with Jos "Ret" de Kroon (Netherlands, Z) and Tyler "NonY" Wasieleski (USA, P).

Other first-time MLG attendees include fnatic stars IEM North American champion Jian Carlo "Fenix" Morayra Alejo (Peru, T), and the impressive Yang "Sen" Chia Cheng (Taiwan, Z).

The Americans will look to defend their home turf with Root gaming's strong lineup of Kevin "qxc" Riley (USA, T), Jonathan "KiWiKaKi" Garneau (Canada, P) and Paul-David "SLush" Pagé (Canada, Z) and EG's Bryce "Machine" Bates (USA, Z), Geoff "iNcontroL" Robinson (USA, P), and Jacob "LzGamer" Winstead (USA, T).

Other notable names to look out for include MLG Raleigh third place finisher Giacomo "Socke" Thüs (Germany, P), GSL participant Trevor "TorcH" Housten (USA, T) and YouTube caster Alex "HDStarcraft" Do (USA).
