Between August 25 and August 29, STX will be holding a Starcraft invitational competition in the Korean pavilion of the Shanghai 2010 World Expo.
STX has confirmed their representatives as  ToSsGirL,  July, Bogus, and  Trap.
STX decided to send ToSsGirL and July upon request by China’s NEO TV. The two players, nicknamed “Goddess” and “God of War” respectively, are extremely popular in the Chinese scene with both fans and players.
Bogus and Trap are two of STX’s players in training. Manager Kim Eun Dong hopes that by sending them to this tournament, they will grow quickly.
The Chinese representatives will likely be the players who won the WCG and IEF qualifiers (?), so this invitational should present intense, exciting games.
EDIT:
Posted in another thread.
STX’s ToSsGirL says: Although this isn’t an annual tournament, just an exhibition match, this event can help spread the Korean gaming mindset, so it’s a great honor to participate. Although China has some very skilled players, I will work very hard to bring home a solid victory.

fomos for picture
[T/N]
First time translating for TL, hope it's accurate (really worried about this), makes sense, etc. More KR -> CN -> EN goodness. I merged the wfbrood and plu articles, because each contained details the other omitted.
also, good to see July finally coming back-ish... he hasn't played in how long?

If it wasn't for showmatches, ToSsGirL wouldn't get any air time at all. Also, yay Julyzerg!

The God of War and the Goddess! This should be very cool, I didn't realize those 2 players were so popular in China.
|
TUSHIN!!!
show me some sexy play!
|
Thats cool that July's getting respect. I've always liked his playstyle.
|
tossgirl doesn't bring home anything but shameful defeat

At least the people she's going to lose to aren't white, so she won't cry.
|
Forget Tossgirl, this is all about the Hamburger zerg! Welcome back big boy!
|
Why is there no picture of July. Sexual discrimination I say!
Let's shout out Boy Power!
Will July be still in shape? starcraft wise that is, not physically.

Tossgirl's gonna lose. Calling it right here.
|
They could only get July by signing a contract. Every game won = 1 bucket of chicken.
It's good Tossgirl finally gets to do something. Feel sort of bad for her not being able to play.
|
Woah I haven't seen tossgirl... like in ages
|
i will be the first foreign to go to Korea with the exclusive intention on going on a date(s) with ToSsGirL.....forget progaming......this is prodating
Anyway i always enjoy seeing her play......
edit: Oh yeah i forgot, rekrul is the first that would make me the second
|
Tossgirl needs to win some games. ;_;

Hopefully this will give us an answer to the rumors that July has switched to SC2 under FantaPrime, either confirming or denying it 
|
yay. tossgirl gets to play again!

Holy shit, I'll be in Shanghai during that timeframe. Too bad actually getting into the pavilion will probably be next to impossible. As if it wasn't hard enough right now. =/
|
Very cool to see esports at world expo. :D
|
This is gonna be an easy roflstomp for STX, even though they only send their B team.
|
|
|
Hmm...depending on who's sent on China's side...maybe STX's second-tier representatives will get surprised and sent home in defeat.
|
lets organize something ^_^
def gonna check it out ... if nothing strange is gonna come up ^^
|
How will July win when he's been practicing SC2? 
|
Tossgirl's pic looks like she's demonstrating something hehe
|
I made toss girl cry once.. True story.
|
Trap is one who knocked Idra out of GOM if I recall, I remember their game on destination very vividly for some reason :S

Yes. It was Trap.

Tushin!!
Haven't seen JulyZerg play in sooo long, can't wait to see him tear it up.
Hope he and Tossgirl practices, i want to see them play some good and entertaining games
|
I thought Tossgirl was Protoss Or at least I think I have seen her play Toss, what happened?
And this is going to be awesome nonetheless.

Tossgirl did use to play Protoss, but she switched races to Terran because she found it fit her playstyle better. Or something like that.
|
She played Toss as a child or something with her sister, named Zerggirl.
Then she realized toss was EZmode and played terran 
|
JULYYYY once my favorite zerg, is now number 2 to Zero. Toss girl however... who we kidding, shes gonna lose
|
You've activated my Trap boner card!
|
*cheers for cheeseburger zerg*
|
I'm going to feel sad for ToSsGirL when she loses every single match.
Bogus and Trap should do fine since if they lose it will threaten their job security.
JulyZerg I'm not so sure but should do better than ToSsGirL.
|
If July really has been mass gaming SC2 he will probably play terribly
|
Thanks for translating and bringing these news  .
Hopefully we'll get to know whether or not July is going to play Sc2.
|
|
|
|
|
I hope she wins some games, but I kind of doubt she will... Kind of sad. :/
|
Tossgirl is pretty damn good lookin'.
|
This just makes the World Expo even more awesome even tho I sadly can't go :' [
|
|
|
i think f91 will rape this
|
I bet you julyzerg will LOVE banelings. He used to sacrifice tons of stuff to get to the mineral line and now his units happen to explode when they die as well.
Also, I heard korean fans found out when julyzerg started mass gaming sc2 when he stopped walking and started rolling.
|
Damnnnn.
I went to the expo at the wrong time as well..
Even though the line for S. Korea was 5 hours long...
|
god damn what happened to tossgirl in that pic. she finally aged.
|
Yes July. I almost change my STX logo to another team.

Looks a bit hotter tbh =P

I finally got a reason to go to the expo. I'm going on vacation in France on Aug 30th haha such a good timing. I can't wait to take pics with Tossgirl and open a brag blog on TL. I need to make a fake STX shirt asap, that's my best chance.

I hope he doesn't forget to split each of his workers, when I played a game of sc1 I forgot that.

DO IT

July was an absolute beast in the GomTV Classic last year. I hope he shows similar form to that, although it will just be nice to see a legend sit in the booth yet again.
EDIT: Not nearly enough JulyZerg in this thread
somebody we all know in awe of the God of War

Tossgirl sure looks different nowadays.
She looks like a mom.
Here is the before pic for comparison purpose:

Which begs the question.
What does July look like nowadays?

i highly doubt that pic was Tossgirl ... unless she went through massive plastic surgery ...
|
I wouldn't say she looks like a mom, she just looks like a woman, as opposed to a Korean teeny-bopper
|
July and Tossgirl are awesome, but Bogus is gonna come out of nowhere and take it all. Just letting everyone know.
|
I like Trap.
Even though I wanted Idra to win that bO in GomTV S3, I felt Trap "deserved it" for playing a straight up macro-war with Idra.
|
wasnt there an article about july playing bad in SC2 beta? 1win-20loses i think and stayed away from BW for practice, like Bisu.. so he might play better than his previous matches! woohoo cant wait...
|
no : ( why couldn't this happen last month when i was there.
|
Predict 2:2 tie or 3:1 win for China with July, Tossgirl, and either Trap or Bogus dropping their games.
F91, Legend, and Toodming are beasts. Don't know too much about kurafi tho

As long as she was coming home to me everynight it wouldn't matter whether she won or lost.

f91 + legend destroy the koreans! tho julyzerg idc who wins for that match.. tossgirl needs to be taught a lesson again that her kp isn't enough to cut it vs true progamer skill.
|
i think alot of you guys are forgetting that tossgirl has already beat f91 in a show match...

I hope this puts an end to the "july playing sc2" rumors.
|
He could be playing SC2 as well as playing in this match...
F91 was playing SC2 but he will still play in some BW events.
|
YAY Tushin!! Tossgirl should get some airplay poor girl plays all day, and she isnt married which for koreans thats pretty worrying.
