Yes, it is absurd that Sir IdrA was not invited - he is one of best players in world and without a doubt the best American born player.


He is also, without a doubt, the most immature player from the US, it's a shame really...so it's a good thing he won't be representing the entire continent with his forced imba whining and poor sportsmanship. This will be a lame tournament without the best players in the world.


I agree.

The best player in the world? big statement i think most of the players on this list can beat idra with any doubt.

I'm really rooting for TLO here. I've been feeling bad for him since his early boot in the GSL. I just hope he doesn't race switch against Sen, or, against anyone really.... It seems like a huge prize pool.

Should be fun. Can't wait to see the Day[9] and Dustin Browder combo. Hilarious!

Tasteless! You said you would sign babies but you can't bring babies to Blizzcon, I checked, we have to leave her at home, nobody under 5 admitted. We'll come say hi anyways.

Can't wait for Boxer vs Cool.

As for the main tournament, skill level is pretty competitive. It's anyone's tournament! It's going to be hard to see anything else at the event with all this ownage happening on the RTS stage.

He announced himself as Zerg, so I doubt they will let him play Terran.

Our source from Blizzard has informed us racepicking is allowed so he would be able to switch around as much as he wants to. As it should be imo. It's a skill to know multiple races.

I have been looking around. And supposedly you have to play 30 dollar to get a virtual ticket. Does anyone know if there will be restreaming?

Good, because honestly you should probably tell him not to ZvZ vs Sen.

Wow, huge letdown imo. If Blizzard wants to invite players, they should invite everyone, or invite one player per server, and let the other one earn it through qualifying tournaments. They can't do both.

Honestly, how can you take a player like SeceCT, who a) isn't american/canadian and b) got slaughtered by IdrA (a player who is actually american, not Korean, contrary to popular belief). Blizzard should invite players who best represent their game's fanbase, ie players like FruitDealer, IdrA, Boxer, etc. who hold the vast majority of fans of the game. Sure they invited players like TLO, DIMAGA, etc. but they missed players in favor of others who are "meh."



The player list is solid. There are no "meh" players. The ONLY problem is that Idra absolutely deserved a spot over somebody.


as far as i heard, IdrA declined his invite caus he wants to focus on GSL

why both people here and on bnet thinks that Blizzard didn't invite him is beyond me, they know he is a powerhouse, and one of the best players in the world

i was not invited

Does that have anything to do with GSL and/or you commentating at GSL?
Or did they just literally snub you for no reason?

as far as i know they just didnt invite me because i dont play the american ladder


so why did they invite TLO then?

I just read every single post in this entire thread and it's dreadfully painful to see the same 5 posts recycled over and over. 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.

No it shouldn't.
Almost every point fails.
1. IdrA wasn't invited but TLO was despite not laddering in Europe. 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:

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.

It sais on the blizzcon page that limited content in standard defention with tournaments is free. I'm not really sure if they mean they will show all the matches for free, or just some. And if you want HD you need a ticket obviously.
If they actually didn't invite Idra on ladder basis, they probably didn't invite Idra because of wanting to avoid potential balance critisism in front of thousands of potential buyers;)
In terms of skill, and american potential for winning, he is the only viable representative. No american is on that level imo. The latest tournaments has really shown his consolidation of korean level- control in all aspects of the game.

Idra, why didn't you play in the Blizzcon Korean qualifier tournament? Did you have the opportunity?
