It appears these four stars have been directly invited by Blizzard to attend Blizzcon, according to this article on Fomos. The headline basically says "[players names], to visit United States for Blizzcon 2011."

http://www.fomos.kr/board/board.php?mode=read&keyno=120761&db=issue

...IMO Bisu will be sexually harrassed by fangirls/boys at least once... probably JD too.


edit: (Thanks to OpticalShot for informing me) Article from DES (http://esports.dailygame.co.kr/news/read.php?id=50999) - it seems they will not be playing any matches while at Blizzcon.

Original Message From OpticalShot:
Found this on DES this morning:

Jaedong: "Looking forward to travelling to the USA with good friends"

Original article by reporter Sora Lee

+ Show Spoiler [original text] +
모 기업의 게임단 운영 포기로 현재 울산에 내려가 있는 이제동이 블리즈컨 참가를 위해 미국행 비행기에 오른다.

이제동은 20일 저녁 인천공항에서 비행기를 타고 블리즈컨 관람을 위해 미국으로 떠난다. 이제동은 오후 3시 기차를 타고 서울로 올라와 바로 인천공항으로 갈 예정인 것으로 알려졌다. 이제동은 친한 선수들과 여행가는 기분이라며 한껏 들뜬 모습을 보였다.

이제동은 함께 블리즈컨에 가는 SK텔레콤 김택용, 정명훈, 삼성전자 허영무와 친분 관계가 두터운 것으로 알려졌다. 게다가 블리즈컨에서 따로 경기를 하지 않는 상황이기 때문에 한결 가벼운 마음으로 미국행 비행기에 몸을 실을 수 있게 돼 더욱 설렌다고 전했다.

특히 이제동은 "김택용과 친해지고 난 뒤 처음으로 해외를 함께 나가게 돼 기분이 좋다"고 말했다. 2009년 WCG 그랜드파이널을 위해 이제동과 김택용은 중국 청두에 간 적이 있지만 그때는 서로 어색한 사이였기 때문에 별다른 교류를 하지 못했다.

김택용을 비롯해 정명훈, 허영무 등도 평소 이제동과 친하게 지내는 사이이기 때문에 그동안 선수들과 교류할 기회가 없었던 이제동에게는 좋은 기회가 될 것으로 보인다. 울산에 내려가 있는 상황이기 때문에 많은 소식을 접하지 못했던 이제동은 블리즈컨을 통해 친한 선수들과 이야기를 나누면서 차기 시즌에 대한 소식 및 맵에 대한 정보도 함께 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대하고 있다.

이제동은 "블리즈컨에 처음 참가하기 때문에 기대된다. 게다가 친한 선수들과 함께 가는 것이라서 그런지 어느 때보다 더 설렌다. 이번 블리즈컨을 통해 함께 가는 선수들과 더 깊은 친분을 쌓고 싶고 그동안 답답했던 것을 훌훌 털어버리고 오겠다"고 전했다.


Brief translation:

Jaedong will travel to USA in the evening of Oct. 20 [T/N: omg he is on the plane right now, or maybe he's close to landing]. He is known to be good friends with all of his travel mates - Bisu, Fantasy, and JangBi. Moreover, Jaedong is lighthearted and jovial because he doesn't have to play any scheduled matches at Blizzcon.

In addition, Jaedong mentioned that he's looking forward to enjoying overseas the trip with Bisu. Back in 2009 WCG grand finals, the two were fairly awkward with each other. Now the two are good friends.

Due to the current circumstances, Jaedong has not been able to actively participate in map testing and pre-season practice. He said that he'll take this opportunity to chat with other players about map information and other eSports insider news as well.

Jaedong said "this is my first trip to Blizzcon so I'm very excited. Plus, I'm with my close friends so all the better. In this Blizzcon event I'll make good memories and relieve some stress as well."

No idea what criteria Blizzard used to select them, but it seems like apparent popularity (Bisu - obvious, Jaedong - obvious, Fantasy (over Flash) - probably because Flash declined / KT declined, and JangBi - most recent epic OSL winner). I'm going to guess that despite SCBW not being a part of the competition, these four players will play some showmatches against each other.

but blizzard specially invited them this year (didn't say why, maybe exhibition matches)

bisu said after some searching after getting the invitation, he was surprised that blizzcon was a much bigger event than he thought, and that he's excited about this visit

rest about SC2 and MVP and blah blah

I'll read it right now.

*edit: from a brief skim through, it seems like they're being directly invited by Blizzard. No idea what criteria Blizzard used to select them, but it seems like apparent popularity (Bisu - obvious, Jaedong - obvious, Fantasy (over Flash) - probably because Flash declined / KT declined, and JangBi - most recent epic OSL winner). I'm going to guess that despite SCBW not being a part of the competition, these four players will play some showmatches against each other.

*edit 2: lol the Fomos comments section filled with immature kids arguing why 1) Fantasy over Flash 2) Bisu/JangBi over Stork 3) Jaedong over Hydra. Some are already speculating that this is part of Blizzard's overall evil scheme to convert these superstars to SC2, especially for the currently teamless Dong.

*edit 3: MY OPINION [not a translation] [not official stance by Blizzard or KeSPA] is that this is good for eSports (yes I like to spell it like that) in general. As long as Blizzard doesn't force these players into doing anything against their free will, the players will have a good time and be exposed to more "worldwide" eSports. Fans attending Blizzcon will be able to meet their favourite superstars, wet their pants in more than one way, take pictures, and whatever. Fans in Korea will hopefully take this as a good will measure from Blizzard that SCBW has not been forgotten. The point is that the players should be free to choose what game they want to play - both professionally and recreationally. More exposure like this will help players make that choice.

Well, according to Smix's post here, they are going to Blizzcon. No idea what for.

Sounds great though. More reasons to be angry that i cannot go.

wonder if Blizzard will ask them to play exhibtion sc2 matches, playing exhibition BW matches would make absolutely no sense as a thing for blizzard to ask of them in all honesty...

Thanks for the quick translations guys, I've updated my first post.

If someone could change the title of the post to "Bisu, Jaedong, Jangbi, Fantasy invited to Blizzcon 2011" that would be good. Thank you!

The war between Blizzard and Kespa is over . There is no reason not to invite them . Every fan of BW is a fan of the korean progamers , even if most fans have moved to SC2 . I doubt any further action will change the way the fans care for this 2 games .

I dont think that would be a good reason, especially since SC2 has now fully been released and so Blizzard will be wishing for SC2 to "kill" BW in a sense (it makes more sense for this, its their newer and more supported game etc.). I didnt mean the "kill" in a disrespectful sense at all (I'm a huge BW fan) but I think that, from a Blizzard standpoint, asking them to play BW doesn't make any real sense.
