I dont think its favoritism to have a lot of liquid guys invited, this is TEAM LIQUID tournament, there SHOULD be at least 3 liquidians in this if not more. Honestly what i liked about the other two TSLs were that its the best foreigners in the world playing. For TSL2, all i heard was how it was the biggest foreign tournament ever. I understand that if Koreans were allowed to play in qualifiers, that this would be just like the GSL with 4 foerigners in it per season, but at the same time with 13 Koreans its going to be a Korean winning this thing, which makes me sad

The best part of this is that it means that the TL opens will be super competitive

It is somewhat weird that you have decided to carry the top seeds over to another game, in my opinion that is slightly unfair.

Before TSL2 we said we may invite these players. No guarantees. Just that we would consider it. Now for TSL 3 we looked at these players and their accomplishments in SC2 and decided that two of them being absolute world class players and the third is a respectable 3100 on ladder is enough to continue our policy of seeding our previous top 3. Your argument is valid but it has simply been our preference not to have our previous champion and top finishers miss out of our tournament when we think they have the skill to compete. Tournaments without their previous champion are always a little awkward so we are very happy that these guys are as good as they are.


Just to add to this, Mondragon is also a very talented guy. I have no doubt that he will be incredibly impressive when TSL time comes around.

One of the reasons they should still compete in the Opens if they have the time to do so. Insurance!

Yeah, travis now I'm more confused too, lol.

Either way, you never know what can happen because there is no consistency between the servers (MLG Dallas is a good example of this). That and every Open takes around 8+ hours to run. You never know what the latency can be like on any given day.

Naz is there any word of how you plan on dividing seeds 4-32? Or are you guys still in the planning stages of that?

It's possible that there is no fair way of dividing seeds for 4-32. We are going to brainstorm on this hard in the coming days and weeks, but I could see it being possible that we randomize spots 4-32 if we can't come up with a good system.


I think I have a method that could work, but it could be a nightmare to organize as well. What if we have a player draft that is reminiscent of the OSL group stages. With a few tweaks mind you. It would probably just add more drama rather than fairness. That and you would have to seed the players regardless of the outcome, but at least higher seeds will get to pick their poison and path to the title as champion.

Here's the breakdown:

Auto-generator

1. Tyler
2. Mondragon
3. sen
4. EU - Winner of 1st Open
5. NA - Winner of 2nd Open
6. EU - Winner of 3rd Open
7. NA - Winner of 4th Open
8. EU - Winner of 5th Open
9. NA - Winner of 6th Open
10. EU - Winner of 7th Open
11. NA - Winner of 8th Open
12. Top 8 non-winner rank 1
13. Top 8 non-winner rank 2
14. Top 8 non-winner rank 3
15. Top 8 non-winner rank 4
16. Top 8 non-winner rank 5
17. Top 8 non-winner rank 6
18. Top 8 non-winner rank 7
19. Top 8 non-winner rank 8
20. Korean invitee seed 1
21. Korean invitee seed 2
22. Korean invitee seed 3
23. Korean invitee seed 4
24. Korean invitee seed 5
25. Korean invitee seed 6
26. Korean invitee seed 7
27. Korean invitee seed 8
28. Korean invitee seed 9
29. Korean invitee seed 10
30. Korean invitee seed 11
31. Korean invitee seed 12
32. Korean invitee seed 13

Going from seed 32 and ending with Tyler each player would pick who they would like to face in the bracket for the ro32 and be allowed to swap two players as well. This way if lets say half the TLAF players get selected as invitees, while they will have their say early on, ultimately their destiny lies within how the brackets will unravel from the players above them. I think this could add a whole new level of drama and ultimately the top seeded players can really pick their poison.

This will give players extra incentive to win an Open as soon as they can in order to at least have a say in their route to the ro16 and so on. After all, you guys did use "Choose your fate" as the title song in your teaser video.
