No Protoss love, and I'm confused as to why Zero is there. They should have taken Shuttle over him, tbh. :/ Also not sure why Skyhigh got in over JulyZerg, but that's actually a blunder I'm happy about. I <3 Skyhigh. | ||

I was pretty sure that Iris wouldn't be, because he has his MSL games, but not seeing Flash there took me by surprise, especially because KT has been doing so well without him in STX. But it makes sense, I guess - as he said in interviews that now that GOM is over, he's going to support his team, since they allowed him to practice for it without interruption. So, I respect him for that, but I'm still sad he's not going to be there. No Protoss love, and I'm confused as to why Zero is there.

I guess ZerO got in because he did well in GOM (ro16?), can't figure any other reason they would send him :\ I don't really mind not having protoss users as long as this doesn't end up with a bunch of zvzs in the wb/lb/grand finals | ||

Beckham's Z can't even beat F91's T, and yet he still wants to fight MaBonjwa... but seriously, from what I've seen of him and his performance on the Chinese semi-Bnet attack thing, he's not particularly good, wonder why they chose him. | ||

However, they could have invited people from the Ro8, and if they were dead set on bringing another Zerg, I know July really wanted to go, and he was Ro4. And of course, Shuttle made it Ro8, and he would have been a Protoss.  As for the above poster saying that it's mostly CJ, my guess would be the the just have good relations with CJ. That and Savior was the winner last year, so he was invited, and Iris and Effort should have been invited. Maybe Iris chose Skyhigh for his replacement. Then while Idra is on CJ, he was there last year, and could be seen as a foreigner, I guess. | ||

then he played too ballsy vs flash (going 3 hatch every game and not 2 hatch is pretty ballsy for July when it's vs FLASH IMO) and played #3 ZvZer in the world which is his worst MU. IF ONLY HE GOT TO PLAY IRIS IN THE SEMIS INSTEAD then flash and iris dont even go and July STILL doesnt go | ||

 Flash, Iris,  EffOrt get invited.Flash passes because he wants to rest/play Masters.Iris passes to practice for the MSL.EffOrt agrees.They need two more, so they go to all the quarterfinalist: In order of KeSPA rankings, those are: Jaedong, sKyHigh, July,  Shuttle, Tempest get invited.Jaedong passes, playing in the OSL finals.sKyHigh agrees.July, Shuttle, Tempest decline. (Dunno why?)With still one spot left, they go back to the Ro16. ZerO at KeSPA ranked 9 is the highest ranked of them all.ZerO agrees.If you look at it this way, it makes sense why no Protoss. Though, not sure why July, Shuttle, Tempest would decline. Maybe they're preparing for the STX Masters/on holiday? Or GOM just ignored the difference between quarterfinal/ro16. | ||

Violet would have been an awesome choice because I he was definitely a Starleague-caliber player this season but we didn't get to see much of him because he didn't survive prelims.Good luck IdrA...that's a tough draw in the first round there  | ||
