Well Cloud played great lately, won against players like Dreiven, Strelok... lost also to guys like White-Ra or DinoT. He deserves a chance there for sure...

I just don't understand what Blizzard really wanna reach with that tournament... it is a bit like a slap in the face for all non Korean players to get only 2 of them and not 3 like in the past... and I really wonder what the Chinese players think about that. Make a real Korean tournament with Koreans only, or make it 50-50... but that is just uhm...

I think Cloud actually stands a chance vs Savior

Wait, so Cloud is replacing Strelok, not NonY?

gg.net ranking is just some elo ranking where they try to include as many major events as they can. sometimes it can be relevant and sometimes not.

what good is 4th place TSL, 1st place spirit, 1st place wcg usa when other players in that list have had such amazing recent achievements as uploading 5 replays.

sadface they picked cloud over nony, i guess they like the '1 na, 1 euro, 4 korean' model.

I like how they list Nada's achievements as 3rd place at 05 Blizzcon

I'd have liked to see Much there too, but too many CJ imba with 3/8 already

Yea whoever wrote Nada's player profile is a fucking retard, it makes him seem like the worst player in the whole tournament in terms of achievements among the koreans. Seriously what the fuck??

As far as they told me I am the europe representant at blizzcon and I think I have the rights to go there at the moment. If you want to be disappointed about nony not going there then be disappointed at the fact he wasn't picked to represent usa. In my opinion nony deserves it way more than idra and it's a shame he doesn't take part to the tournament.
This being said I hope to do my best there and of course to have a nice time with everyone else who is coming at blizzcon [image loading]
