is there going to be live coverage? the mothership hasn't updated their page yet to include a GP SD page yet. . .
It probably won't be on till about 4pm EST. Registration either opened or stopped at 12pm EST, and they normally don't start live coverage till third or fourth round.
I'm curious to see if either of the Tron variants T8 (it's only happened once before, surprisingly).
But to a larger extent, I'm very curious about the meta. It's been largely "unsolved" since the banning of BBE, maybe one of the pros will come out of the woodwork with something wild and crazy.
I actually think someone has brewed a breakout deck that will T8 or at least T16 and get dream-crushed at the last min or something.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
From what I could see of the meta since the bannings, UWR midrange is already the dominant archetype by far in terms of popularity, everybody is playing it. That alone should guarantee some Top 8 spots.
apparently the pros decided that gbx is better than uwr.
It could just be that a lot of people are used to it right now. And it's pretty safe if nobody really knows what's going on - the disruption is pretty good.
I kind of prefer GBx over UWR too, however I'm kind of lost why they all play Lingering Souls. I think in a meta that does have Electrolyze and some Thundermaws I'd prefer the classic Finks.

They are playing Finks too. Most of the Lingering Souls decks play a Gavony Township as well. Lingering Souls plays well with Liliana OTV too.

That's because there's 3 distinct UWR archetypes. Twin, Tempo, and Control.

I'm guessing UWR decks of all varieties are going to dominate the top tables.
dark horse: soul sisters + blood moon. the deck is hilarious and gets a ton of free wins either by laughing at aggro or screwing over mana bases.

Dark Horse: UW Tron, the deck is great vs Midrange and combo and can hold its own vs Aggro
I expect to see a lot of Jund and WUR as well as Pod and Twin
Paper: WUR Waffle Control, RG and U Tron
MTGO: U Tron, BRG Living End, B Infect

They always start after round 3. Everyone with byes start playing and they can kick off with a big name and "real" decks.

They've now finished Round 4 and I'm still waiting. They'd better have different footage by the time I come back after dinner...

For most people, it seems a combination of both.

I'm not trolling. I don't tend to watch streams--I prefer written footage.
Good news--they finally posted a feature match, so I'll stop complaining.
Better news - IT'S NOT MIDRANGE-ON-MIDRANGE.

I thought it was funny how they had to keep reminding themselves they weren't allowed to call it that.
