The dominance of the Koreans still proved to be too strong as they have been dominating every Major International Starcraft 2 Tournament events. Every international SC2 tournament has been won by a Korean pro gamer for a quite some time now. MLG Raleigh is another Korean domination. 7 out of 8 players are from Korea. Foreigners once again failed to defend the championship title at their own home ground.

This is the first international appearance for LiquidHero since being transferred to team Liquid in place of Huk. Hero's stellar performance in this MLG is no easy feet. First Hero dominated the Open brackets by claiming a spot into the Group Stages. The most notable match will definitely between Hero and PainUser. Hero actually Wrote (Tl) which stands for team Liquid with Pylons. This took approximately 10-20 Pylons. Hero had even trained a Mothership to show his dominance in the match. A good way to promote his new team lol.

Kiwikaki started out very strong during the early stages of MLG Raleigh by defeating the Genius Terran, oGsNada. However, his run was ended by Hero in the losers bracket. Huk has not shown much result since transferring to team Evil Geniuses and repeating his dominance at Dreamhack and Homestory Cup. Huk knocked out Nada in the GSL Code S. Nada in turn took his revenge by ending Huk's tournament run here.
