If Effort wasn't from CJ and known Idra's style inside out, our nerd might've had a chance.

I'm disappointed that Iris and Flash aren't there. 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. 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.

There are no protoss because they decided to take them out of SC2.

Really sad to see no toss though.

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

Chinese Netizen:
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.
When in doubt, just believe in yourself and press buttons

Yeah, that's the reason I think Zero made it. 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.

I was so excited when July made the semifinals and Tasteless said top players in tourney go to blizzcon. I WAS GOING TO GET TO MEET MY FAVORITE PLAYER. THE PLAYER THAT INSPIRED ME TO PLAY ZERG!

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

I think what happened is the following:

(T)Flash, (T)Iris, (Z)EffOrt get invited.
(T)Flash passes because he wants to rest/play Masters.
(T)Iris passes to practice for the MSL.
(Z)EffOrt agrees.

They need two more, so they go to all the quarterfinalist:
In order of KeSPA rankings, those are: (Z)Jaedong, (T)sKyHigh, (Z)July, (P)Shuttle, (P)Tempest get invited.
(Z)Jaedong passes, playing in the OSL finals.
(T)sKyHigh agrees.
(Z)July, (P)Shuttle, (P)Tempest decline. (Dunno why?)

With still one spot left, they go back to the Ro16. (Z)ZerO at KeSPA ranked 9 is the highest ranked of them all.
(Z)ZerO agrees.

If you look at it this way, it makes sense why no Protoss. Though, not sure why (Z)July, (P)Shuttle, (P)Tempest would decline. Maybe they're preparing for the STX Masters/on holiday? Or GOM just ignored the difference between quarterfinal/ro16.

Digging all the way to GOM's Ro16 without inviting a Protoss is just unforgivable...and especially painful considering how Z- and T-heavy all the individual leagues have been this season. Blech. (P)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

It'll be very interesting to see how our foreign heroes will stand up against progamers. Ret should have a chance against Nada, and it's kind of hard knowing how good Idra actually is compared to good progamers.
I believe in the almighty Grötslev! -- I am never serious and you should never believe a thing I say. Including the previous sentence.

No Protoss is a shame, really.
Any of the six dragons would be ok.
PerfectMan would be AWESOME, thought. haha
