Curious to know what's coming in ten days at the first major event of MLG 2012? Take a look at the big picture and see which 32 players will be playing February 24-26 for the $26,000.
Hundreds of players walked a heavy road to reach the MLG Winter Arena. It all started with the best eight at MLG Providence 2011, followed by three regional qualifiers that were also to determine the most worthy of a spot on the Arena stream. Finally, the player list is complete:

The last piece of information is that the MLG Winter Arena will be available via $20 Pay Per View pass only. Buyers will get access to four separate streams which together will cover 100% of the games, while a fifth sneaks behind the scenes for interviews and chit-chats with the players themselves. Information about who will sit behind the commentators' desk is soon to be announced.
