i put this in the blog caues it's not supposed to be the official thread. I just wanted to make a blurb.

so what's with this tiny "surprise tournament?" only 4 players? based on what? it's not even kespa ranking or current season bests - savior's slump is well known, and while mind is good, i don't know if he'll stand up to stork and flash.

it seems to me that this little "tournament" if it can be called that, is just a post-dentist type of candy for stork to get another shot at beating flash, which he lost in the GSI and OSL. lame. but i'm still watching it of course =)

Just a guess, but... maybe they do run down the KESPA rankings, and Jaedong and Bisu couldnt make it due to the short notice

What's most interesting is that GOM doesn't even invite Bisu who is arguably the player that made GOM's MSLs popular (remember the bisu lovefest that was the GOM season 2 or 3 intro?)

They maybe did, but he refues because the lack of the short time? Pros got to train strats before tournaments

Good point

IMO:
-Bisu should be in
-Mind should be out
-Stork dunno, but its his chance to win something (the poor guy will probably get silver again)
-Savior should be out although i want him to stay
-Flash won the GSI and Bacchus OSL so hes alrite

Who would refuse an invitation to a chance to win 10k?

It's just a fun little tourny to keep us excited. Not a big deal who they chose, I just want to see savior win.

I'm reasonably happy with the player choices. All in all, though, it's just more quality StarCraft for us to spectate. It's also our first chance to see how the new maps play out.

Yeah why no Bisu and Jaedong? Maybe then no one would watch the actual GSL. But this "fun little tourney" has a pretty substantial prize...I mean TSL's entire prize pool is only slightly more.

I think that only Savior should be switched with Jaedong. I really do like Mind as a player, he's strong, innovative, and only loses to truly top-tier players when the heat is on. I agree that Bisu maybe should be in there, but I think Stork is a better bet in spite of his poor OSL showing; he got to the finals in the OSL and the GSI which says a lot (I know, I know, choking and whatnot, but I think my point still stands). Basically, I'm pretty happy with the current playerlist, I'd bet that they did invite Jaedong, but that he can't make it because of team vacation or something.
Force staff is the best item in the game.

Bisu, Stork, Jaedong, Flash should be the 4 players but maybe Lecaf are on their trip in Europe so jaedong could not play...
