Someone care to explain how someone like Hellykitty get picks ahead of say Taeja, aLive (who won IPL4) and Alicia (who got two 2nd place finishes in MLG tournaments in 2012)? Either players are free to play in whatever region they like or they aren't, the NA invite list makes no sense. | ||

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. Yeah. Calling everybody whiny bitches because they disagree with something that's very obviously terrible is a great way to go about life. | ||

Either players are free to play in whatever region they like or they aren't, the NA invite list makes no sense. 1. Taeja is still in code S this season, and will likely play in NA next season. 2. They are probably trying to limit the # of Korean invites and if they did extend invites, there are bigger names than Alive and Alicia. | ||

But they must give a statement soon about next seasons selection proces for gsl NA and EU, which is hopefully fair to all the players and based on measureable skill. | ||

You actually have a fucking problem with somebody playing on America getting picked to play America and then complaining about there not being more Koreans in the WCS America? What the fuck is wrong with people? There should be more names from the top of the GM ladder on this list. This isn't a popularity contest. This is what this was meant to be for. | ||

However, I disagree on how they made their lists. They made their lists by citizenship and not by residency. I don't think anyone would have a problem with Polt or Demuslim coming from the "Americans" list as they went through the pains of actually moving here. Both even practice on the NA ladder. It's not like they're going to be playing the online matches from their home countries. All it takes to fix this is to re-run their numbers and just sort by current residency instead of current citizenship. EDIT: You can also make an argument for Sen and Moonglade coming from an "Americans" list since they don't have a region to call their own. The point of reserving 8 spots for non-Americans is to avoid it being a Korean tournament that just happens to take place in New York. | ||

Obviously Demuslim is going to not make it on a list that has 20 Koreans on it. However, I disagree on how they made their lists. They made their lists by citizenship and not by residency.

At this point the only way demuslim gets added to a list is they take away a qualifier spot. They won't take away someone elses invite at this point. Unless he was actually overlooked, it sounds like your idea of him being grouped with non-americans could be correct and he is basically gunna get shafted, have to try and qualify, which will be much harder. I feel real bad for demuslim, but also the other pro players that everyones shitting on ( hellokitty). Its not them who didn't invite demuslim, they got invited and they accepted. | ||

Demuslim is GM #1 in NA so they clearly arent using GM ladder very well...From the Q&A they said the invites would be base on their performance in past SC2 tournaments. I feel regions should be locked by residency but if you dont then you should pick the invites on merit. | ||
