Europe looks pretty awesome already. NA looks pretty bad to be honest here way too many Koreans and way too many inactive or just plain bad players. The fact that there is a potential that there will be more Koreans in the premier division than people from America means it won't be productive in making the scene any better.
5 Koreans in NA vs 3 in EU doesn't seem too big of a difference to me. I'm giving the first season a pass to be honest. It was always going to be pretty messed up trying to shove this into the tournament structure already. Still excited for it though.

How many in "US" or "NA" are actually from NA? Will be hilarious when they announce the winner of the NA group, as in someone who is NOT from NA but rather from Europe or Korea.
Would make sense if they just for now renamed the regions to region #1, region #2 and region #3 since naming that after a geographical region makes zero fucking sense.
Who cares what it's named?

Wow Blizzard really knows how to keep fucking up. Where are Demuslim and Kane, the two most hard working players of the fucking foreign scene so far? Fuck this joke of a tournament. First Koreans in NA/EU and now this.

Way to make a joke out of WCS NA. Non-North Americans were given invites? What in the actual fuck.
The only potential for hope was that the Koreans would have to actually qualify for the event. But no, we're giving not only Europeans, but actual Koreans invites to a WCS they don't even live near?
My brain, it hurts. It hurts so bad. Demuslim not getting an invite, and Sundance saying "I'll investigate" is even worse - it means the guy wasn't even aware of the invites being sent out. To let some lower-management guy handle the invites to the NA region, which MLG pratically owns outright, without checking up on them before they're sent is just plain sad. "Growing pains and bumps along the way" doesn't even begin to describe.

Demuslim, Kane, Ostojiy, and qxc were people I expected to see on NA list.

DeMuslim isn't a north-American... or even an American.
I agree that he should have been invited.. but let's not have fits of apoplexy over it.

I guess Naniwa is heading back to EU again. Disappointing but understandable.
I'm a little surprised too (unless these aren't accepted invites).
From the other article where MC was criticizing the system for encouraging a Korean exodus, Naniwa and Sase sounded like they were going to compete in Korea.
Oh well, realistically this makes more sense for them anyways.
I'm a little bothered by Nestea / Snute being in America instead of Ostojiy.
Snute as an American invite is especially weird to me; is there a reason he's not in the European region?
Moonglade and Capoch make sense because SEA / Oceania has always been lumped with US West in other Blizz games (WoW, BW, D2, ect). I guess that's why they have Sen too since it's WCS Korea not WCS Asia.
Edit: I'm singling out Snute / Nestea as they play the same race as Ostojiy. Violet actually lives in Texas, so he belongs here no matter what flag is on his TLPD.

I'm watching Polt stream right now and Demuslim is the only player that has taken a game off him in his past 25 games, it would be quite sad if he's really not invited.

Why the hell was HeroMarine not invited on EU? He finished 3rd respectively on the last major event on EU which was a completely open tournament (no invites or such)!
Instead, we see TitaN who might be a good player, but whose last accomplishment was two years ago???

They've put just as much work into HotS if not more than Koreans on the NA list and have been practicing like fucking crazy. Go watch the GSL if you want to watch Koreans instead of being complacent with absolutely destroying the foreign scene piece by piece by lowering the amount of high potential invites. I can't believe people like you are actually bother posting when you have no idea what you're talking about.

Who is KANE??? And Ostojiy? Do they even stream? Demuslim is a bad choice.He totally deserves to be invited but qxc...Its strange nobody is talking about Dragon hehe.Almost the most succesfull streamer and is not invited hahaha.I dont like him,because it seems he is always trolling...

My point was that their ammount of ladder games comes no where close to what people like Kas, Happy, Snute and so on has put in the past six months or so.

I'm confused why people are surprised. I"m also confused why people are upset since they knew this was coming.
Why are the Dallas Cowboys part of NFC East? Carolina is NFC South yet Dallas is further south than Charlotte and Charlotte is further east.
This is basically what I expected. I can't even name 32 NA players so I don't know. The real question we have to ask ourselves is do we want true regional champions or do we want a true global champion?
Lets just see how this goes and make adjustments from there instead of going crazy and talking about how things are when they haven't even actually happened yet..

Well he can beat the best Koreans in NA, so that is like reward unto itself, right? I mean, practicing hard gets you....not an invite? Disappearing for all of 2012, totally invited though.

Amount of ladder games is completely irrelevant to how much they're taking out of those ladder games and applying to their gameplay.

Snute obviously going to Korea for pro league!
Invite lists have some terrible omissions. No lowely, fraer, demuslim? Why were any koreans invited to the eu or us regions other than those who live there as well. Lol hellokitty!
Tbh along with the terrible communication this wcs is an utter farce. Been thrown together last minute at the behest of someone who doesn't know what they are doing.
