EDIT: Especially with players like Maker, Capoch and HelloKitty getting an invite. I've heard of them before but have they really done anything notable enough to earn invites? I'm really not trying to blindly hate on players here, so if they have done something significant to validate their invites that's awesome for them. | ||

Sorry, I worded that a little wrong. He was practicing hard to be one of the best players in HotS, not specifically for this tournament. Seems like people keep twisting my tongue today. | ||

State has been in the scene for awhile and has always been a great player, he just hasn't won anything. Hellokitty spent an absolutely shitton of time practicing for this on the beta and consistently released replays and such if I'm not mistaken. Maker? I have no idea who that is, honestly. Maker is the 2nd best player in Mexico... I don't believe his skill is that close to Major's though, so who knows where he stacks up on the world scene (no I didn't watch last year's WCS before anyone asks). | ||

He won WCS RU and beat more Koreans than anyone else at the World Finals, you remember? 2-1 vs Curious, last GSL season's semifinalist and 2-0 vs herO, CJ Entus' Proleague ace! How about, let's say TLO who got knocked out by Jaxx in the second round of the loser bracket in his NATIONAL tournament? Is he more worthy of an invite? They should have done an open qualifier and scrapped all these stupid invites, but Titan isn't especially undeserving of one if you ask me. Nevermind, I messed up, didn't look past "premier tournaments" in the accomplishments. Then at least I'll hope he'll make it past the qualifiers.  but isn't this titan: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/TitaN_(Russian_player) well, okay that wcs was only like 17 months ago. | ||

EU is the one which seems fishy to me, i don't understand why MMA and MVP got seeds over european players like lowely, instead of having to work the qualifiers like any non european should. I can understand forGG since he has been living in europe for quite a long time. But well, i think that it's impossible to have all of us happy. And i guess that i am missing a lot of american players because i don't really follow that scene that should had been invited first over non american players. | ||

If there's not enough spots, why we bring in all the Koreans that already have a region for themselves. Base on the above category, DeMuslim not fit in any category because he is British. He should be include in EU (no room for him in NA). | ||

Not confirmed yet but he is suppossed to do an annoucement, so it sounds likely. | ||

Why on earth would koreans be prioritised over Demuslim who lives in the us? There is also even less room for him in eu than in us in terms of players. | ||

One could argue this is exactly what GOM did in the past with Code S seeds, even though Code S was a separate league and not a qualifier. | ||

MVP and MMA were not given seeds to EU, they chose EU as their region. The underlining problem you have is still there but it is worth noting that the two players you mentioned were not invited to EU, they choose EU, as they are allowed to do. Whether or not they should be allowed to CHOOSE EU is of course another whole discussion. | ||

My english is bad, but i didn't imply that i think they shouldn't be able to choose EU (that's a different subject), but that they shouldn't be able to get automatically qualified over EU players. I guess i understood the whole thing wrong tho. | ||
