i think people should have realised by now these 'invitationals' are not really tournaments.

Players are picked by folks at twitch. They don't really pick people for any other reason than they think they'd be fun on the couch and people would like to see them. It isn't like white white ra is a competitive player or something.
Sorry you weren't invited but getting mad in a thread won't do much. Just msg some folk and ask what it takes.

True. But at the same time the prize pools have been large. It's not hard to understand why Eon and others would be more than a little bummed out.
In fairness though Eon, you guys right now are better players than most of these guys, but they are big name personas that have been relevant factors on TL and in SC2 as well. You're know by a small number of BW players, these guys are known by a much larger base, which is often the draw for invitationals.
The top four guys on the left are HUGE personalities in starcraft across both games. Tens of thousands of followers or more. Sheth is a very well known SC2 streamer. Draco is legit good right now and famous. NonY is also one of the most famous. White-Ra is a big name legend with some funny russian hype around him from BW and SC2.
The only two that seem out of place are Kawaii and Jaeyun. I don't know Jaeyun at all, and Kawaii as far as I know was good at BW/SC2 but was never really a big name either.

Jaeyun was the star player and one of the best during the CSL Brood War days where he carried UCSD to the 2009 CSL title and runner up in 2010 CSL.

This is an excellent opportunity to watch Artosis rage about SC while people laugh at him face to face instead of watching him rage about SC in memes or on streams while people in channels laugh at him.

They need to do away with this "oldboys club" bs. I don't want to watch players that haven't put up results in ages. I want to see the current top talent. Guess i'm not tuning in.

maybe what they're admitting between the lines is: "foreign SC simply isn't fun anymore, so we gotta squeeze that nostalgia juice." ?
watching foreign SC for me has sometimes felt like watching the paralympics.
Even korean SC won't appeal to me that much if more top players leave (like bisu had to).

I'm gonna watch it. Pretty sure I'll enjoy it to. I will also enjoy the upcoming thread about Incontrol where people bitch about him for 10+ pages again.
Looks like a good watch though I can't wait. But it would be nice to see some more of the current top guys on one of these shows in the future.

Let's hope Incontrol won't ruin this one.
