I'll try to recap to prevent anyone else from going through the same mind-numbing experience. Q: Why was IdrA not invited? A: Because he does not compete in the NA ladder, he posted this himself. Invitations and regional qualifiers were based on ladder rankings. For many regions, this information was available in a battle.net blog. (SEA Example) Q: Dimaga and White-Ra aren't from Russia, wtfomg!? A: Blizzard employs humans, humans make mistakes. Why is this such a big deal... Q: BoxeR and FruitDealer not allowed to play in the tournament? WHY!? A: They didn't QUALIFY. MakaPrime and NEXGenius placed at the top of the Korean Qualifier long before GSL Season 1 concluded. Q: $40 to watch the stream? Fuck Blizzard!! Moneygrabbing fuckers!!! A: The opening ceremony and tournament streams are FREE. The paid ticket allows you to watch the rest of the Blizzcon events, panels, etc. Just like every other Blizzcon. Q: SeleCT isn't even American! He's Korean!? Why is he representing America!! A: This isn't WCG, people aren't representing their nations. The regions listed are simply to identify which ladder the participant qualified from. Hope that helps. Can't wait to see Blizzcon this year.  This really should be edited into the OP. | ||

They made exceptions. 2. Humans make mistakes? A quick google tells you where White-Ra is from. 3. They didn't qualify, but then neither did TLO etc... 4. fine 5. Huk is representing America despite being Canadian too (although Select is American by nationality). Still the tournament is in NA they could've thrown one more for North America considering how huge a Starcraft scene there is there. A Nony/qxc/IdrA would have made sense. Try as you might you can't justify 2 players from Taiwan. Fine Taiwan has its own Blizzard "region" but that's still silly. I'm not having a massive go at Blizzard. This is actually a pretty sweet invite list. But the point of this thread is to discuss invites and that's what we are doing. It could've been fairer that's for sure. Add Nazgul to the OP. He explains it better: On October 20 2010 15:20 Liquid`Nazgul wrote: It seems Blizzard asked every regions Esports manager (or whoer does it) to handle X spots. The NA guy decided to do it by ladder, Korea through qualifications, Europe by invites, I think. | ||

Also, North America != United States of America | ||

White-ra is good and shit, but not THAT good anymore, its over for him. Why not invite BratOK instead.... White-Ra has way more natural talent than most of these kids, not to mention experience. You're OMG LITERALLY clueless i mean for serius. | ||

No Cella makes me a sad pandabearguy[QUOTE] Fixed. But seriously, I can't wait to see TLO fight as Zerg! Unfortunately as he said in his interview, he plays Sen first. But honestly, I think Zerg is TLOs race...so unorthodox, so unexpected, so TLO. | ||
