Considering most of the qualifiers will probably be a bunch of no names.. I doubt it. Then again, everyone can lose to a cheese, considering the nature of single elimination.

I know I won't try for a macro game if I have the "luck" of facing off vs. one of them

BratOK's military service could be part of the cause.

It will be great to see how the non-korean pros deal with the beasts that are TOP and Inca.

Wouldn't be funny, it's definitely probable. Yes, they are both A-class (TOP is S-class) pros, but that doesn't mean they are immune to cheese. Its plausible that one of them will get knocked out in qualis, especially if they are not running bo3's.

That's so sick. I hope InCa tears it up. This is just one step closer to more Koreans going to non-Korean tournaments, that's a great thing for e-sports

TOP, KiLLeR (yes, THAT KiLLeR), Magulina, Jimpo, Nbs, Fuzer, Darkforce, Naniwa, Merz. Thats just the names I saw after a glance at the BYOC entry list. Drama about someone not making it into the tournament will happen.

Cool. Interesting to see, Koreans participate in foreign events. Probably cause neither of them qualified for GSL3.

I'm pretty disappointed in the player list honestly. There are a ton of people they could have invited to play but did not for whatever reason, just countless Korean and NA players that just seemed left out.

Idra isn't going? News to me.

The foreigners going to Dreamhack better not let inca/top win, even if they are amazing players. Genius already took blizzcon, don't let them take this one too!!

Well he qualified for GSL3 so it would be pretty hard to do both and considering his S-Class status is on the line the decision was probably fairly easy.

It isn't. IdrA is already guaranteed to make S class just by qualifying for ro64.

I mean, i can see how you can say that since in a sense it would promote the idea that foreigners can compete and beat koreans, but at the same time i'm hoping it doesn't happen because it would only promote isolationism in one of the most isolated e-sports there is. if we want a truly global sc2 scene, i think it's important that the koreans have a good experience.

Good news. I wish we have a foreigner against a korean in grand final! It would be nice to watch live (stream).

Only TOP has to qualify. Inca/Huk got the two other invited slots from Idra/Bratok.

You do know that the invite list is very limited right?....... And that a lot of players are busy with GSL and such?

The player that makes least sense on the invite list is probably MaDFroG but he's still a top Swedish player and might gain some publicity by his status as WC3 legend.
