Can anyone do a HU Tourney Preview?
 

I have read many HSNL posts and railbirded on some of the bigger games, but I don't really know how good everyone is or what style each of the 32 players play. I, like many other mere mortal players, look forward to watching some great HU play for entertainment and educational purposes. Anyway, I was wondering if somebody could do a write up on the matchups, tourney preview, playing style clashes, etc. I think that would really get more people into it and it might be a fun little addition. If this already exists, point me in the right direction. Thanks folks.
