players from SKT1, Hite, and MBC might have not been invited due to team relationship with Kespa

Huh? #1 do these teams even have poor relations with KeSPA, and #2 why would the sponsors/KeSPA really give two shits who gets the invite? They're all korean companies/corporations, so it's not like it really gains them any marketable exposure overseas, and it's not much of a bargaining chip if KeSPA was actually holding out on them.

SKT and Hite have Masters still, and MBC just generally sucks right now (none of their players are really popular enough/playing well enough to warrant an invite).

A tourney without Protoss is the best kind of tourney.


No, it really isn't. 3 races is better than 2. no one would be happy with a tournament with 0 zergs or 0 terrans, so please don't run the dumb "hate protoss" meme any further into the ground than it already is

it's harem, don't bother

LOL'ed. I'm really sad no Protoss AT ALL. Why did they stop thinking? TT

I think idrA has enough practice against Dinot to school EffOrt (not). Man what the fuck seriously I'm still sad over no Protoss White-Ra, JinFei, Stork even fucking Backho could have made it. :/

BELIEVE!

This! Idra fighting!~

Mystery Map Invite by Blizzard had only zerg and protoss, doesn't strike me as being out of character to not invite any protosses.

Iris can't go because of MSL commitments (fair enough).
Flash is a newbie and felt that it was necessary to stay home to help his team out in the Masters.

I'm personally fine with the choices except for Beckham (he does like nothing these days) and ZerO (he has no fans outside of Korea except for Realpenguin).

I'd personally would have invited a foreign Protoss (White-Ra, JF) and for Korean Protoss, maybe Movie? haha.

I'm really curious how they selected Beckham for the Chinese invite. He's not even one of the top zergs in China.


It's because Blizzcon conflicted with WCG 2009 China regionals, so basically every other player opted to go for the WCG instead of Blizzcon.

Dude if Flash loses to Effort in WCG qualifiers I will rage so hard

At least this gives us a chance to view a preview of every final in 2010, Skyhigh vs Effort! Just kidding, sort of.

Blizzard sucks. They have a horrible bracket (no Protoss) with some horrible players in it. It seems that they have no idea of the korean pro scene.
