wait so do we give a fuck that tournaments are inviting 75%+ of their players without qualifiers now, or is that soooo last year?
|
They have qualifiers as well, no?

Wow, can't believe DeMusliM didn't get invited, he would've provided very competitive games with the Koreans, at least in the online part Probably the 2nd best non Korean Terran IMO. EU list looks good, there's bound to be some people who got shafted since there is a lot more talent there than in NA.

I'm thinking all these invites is just to get the 1st season underway. 2nd season better have no more than 8 players guaranteed from season 1 and the rest actually have to qualify. Too many Invites so lame.

Not to mention it's a new game and there's no indication any of these players actually deserve an invite (well, not any, but a lot are untested in HOTS)

I love how there are so many players that have had ZERO results ever. WCS is just another popularity contest and it has diminished the value of the GSL. I'm really disappointed on how everything has turned out. Makes me very sad.

the entire code s/a could move to na and eu, and i'd still give code b a big advantage if the entire foreigner base then moved to kr

They should have done proper qualification, but I guess time is short!

It's only for this season, if they're absolute garbage then they'll be replaced by someone from the (non invite) Challenger league so, frankly I'm fine with it.

I'm with ya!

I just wish Demuslim got selected for Na and White-ra+Nani for EU

Man this whole WCS thing
I just hope we get good games

Some of you are being a bit emo about this, they had to rush this out, invites were a necessity to establish this bitch, it'll be mostly offline next year which should solve some problems. Don't be blindly patriotic, NA scene is lacking in talent, I'm excited to see NesTea and Ryung and hopefully some more bad ass koreans come through qualification, does it make a shitload of sense for them specifically? No, but it will be super sweet to see.
I'm more disappointed with the weaker, stranger invites that made it onto the NA list, don't think I need to name names. At least you know the koreans will bring legitamcy to the competition by raising the skill level, the others just baffle me. No DeMuslim is an outrage but I'd have loved to see QXC too and I'm pretty sure there could be a case made for many players over some that were picked.
All together though it's good for the game, try not to be whiney hysterical bitches about the things you don't like and forsake the entire thing.
