IdrA and ret are fine. They're beastly and should be able to rep foreigners just as well as anyone else.

I'm just hoping for TvZ finals.

Iris had more of a reason than Flash. He was practicing for and expecting to be in the MSL finals.

Too bad he choked and completely FAILED.

A lot of blind rage here. Just from actually READING the posts, it seems all the hate towards blizzard is unwarranted.

Multiple people have said that it was Kespa, not blizzard, who deteremined which korean players went.

The chinese wcg qualifier is going on during the same time, hence their good toss' don't come to blizzcon.

About the non-asian foreigners... I suppose they felt that Ret and Idra were the top 2, so race wasn't a factor.

Yes, the lack of protoss does suck, but it seems this is the best we could get based upon what was available.



No, I doubt that what you're seeing is blind rage. First of all, the elimination of protoss is fairly significant. It's huge. It eliminates 66 percent of the game. It doesn't seem that this is the best that was available. I'm not entirely certain of Blizzard's relationship/partnership with GOM, but the options appearing on GOM offered two Protoss. There were, furthermore, many other players in Korea available for this tournament which, I'm sure would have accepted. Also, there are MANY protoss in the foreign community who would have LOVED the opportunity to come to Blizzcon. Do you think it conceivable that every single one of them was unavailable? Doubt it.

No one is questioning at all their choice to pick Ret (or Idra). They are almost unquestionably the two current best foreigners on the scene.

And those "multiple" (I count one.) people would probably be wrong. Blizzard is in a corporate war against KESPA. Do you really think that KESPA would have much control over sending people to Blizzcon? No. KESPA might tell the players no, and that would certainly limit some teams and players, but that wouldn't make a significant impact at all for the reason that Blizzard has many other Korean and foreign players from which to choose.

It's a blatant lack of effort on their own part, and that has led to the frustration here.

What? No, they invited (Z)EffOrt!
