I really really hope that nobody else asked to be in the gom house, because that Oak guy, whatever. Hes 3000 masters, no tournament experience are you serious? we will never see him play a streamed game. I would love to know the process behind that decision.

Edit: Oh also, FXOBoss seems like a very smart, competent guy. Look to see FXO becoming a huge name in esports.

Wow, Haypro and Ret got seeded? That's... surprising. :o
Wasn't it said that they would seed players based on achievements?
Oh well, they definitely got the talent,
I'm looking forward to the next GSL. :-)

ecifircas, you need to listen to what I said again mate. I said nothing about esports being bigger in malaysia than korea.

If you want a detailed explanation here it is.

We feel that sc2 is going to be more global than brood war was. Because korea hasn't really taken off with sc2.

As we have contacts and access to malaysia, we decided that this would be the best hub for a team of our company to be located. As its only a cheap 5 hr flight to korea if they play in GSL. A cheap flight to USA for MLG and a cheap flight to dreamhack. Thus giving us access to the world, rather than being stuck in one corner of the world having to skip planes every 10 seconds to get to an event.

Malaysia is also terribly cheap, and our house will be 5 star compared to the houses in Korea.

Logistically, we feel its a smart move.

I hope this helps with your misinterpretation.
