Favs:
Finkel bc well Finkel lol
Chapin bc he has a cool story
Calcano idk why just always liked him
Kibler bc he's apparently a really awesome guy
Hayne bc Canadian!
McLaren bc Canadian and the fact that he flies solo and still is amazing

Least favs:
Woo? Can he classify as a pro? If so him bc apparently he's a dick irl although I like his rogue decks I've heard bad stuff about him

Ross not for any personal reasons (I'm sure he's a nice guy!) but I dislike him bc the decks that he runs idk why but I really really really hate Red Aggro ....

Favourites are Shaun McLaren because he is part of wizardtower.com, the store I play at, Brian Kibler because he's a great player and always plays sweet decks, and Craig wescoe because he's the one that got me into playing weenie strategies. Oh yeah, and lsv, because he's lsv

As well as LSV, who is my absolute favorite. I forgot Ben Stark. Probably the greatest limited player ever. I don't play Limited, but I am always amazed the way he's able to figure out how to draft a format and place very high.

LSV, Kibler, and Finkel are probably my favorites.

No matter how good TWoo is at MtG, I don't think I'll ever really care for him. I've tried watching videos of his various different decks, but I only get a few minutes in because he's so annoying.

I don't know enough about Ari Lax, I know he won Pro Tour Khans of Tarkir - that is the first time I've ever heard of the dude.

As for Travis Woo, he has an annoying Napoleon Dynamite voice, but I'm generally entertained by his game play and deck design.

this is a bit extreme, but this is what some people are upset about:

I watched the Pro Tour, he just seems like some dude. I didn't really get the feeling I was watching a pro player, I'd never heard of him till he won it. Just seemed like he got a good deck, played it well and got lucky.
