XlorD, Heromarine, and Happy have all been doing well in HotS, as have players like MorroW, Dayshi, Feast etc. but that list is so stacked its hard to remove someone. Perhaps Dimaga, since he hasn't been playing as much I think. The one who should definitely be there is LoWeLy. Well, there are a lot of invited players who have less success than those three since the launch of HotS, but those players all did some sort of huge splash in the last year in some WoL tournament. In the end, it depends on how you weight HotS performance and WoL performance in your decision. | ||

Is this a joke blizzard. LoWeLy got top 6 in the European championship not enough sorry the zerg with a 20% win ratio the last 6 months of WOL is going to take you place. And Feast?? His performance at IEM outshines most of the people in that list. Its a joke | ||

Guy is arguably the best player in NA at the moment (who isn't Korean anyway) and isn't on the NA list, and that is where he will be trying for i would think. FML | ||

On the other hand, I tend to think that if you live in a region you should be counted as coming from that region, in the vein of SeleCt. DeMusliM and Polt both live in the US, and have done for some time, I believe? | ||

Perhaps Dimaga, since he hasn't been playing as much I think. The one who should definitely be there is LoWeLy. Simple. Solution is simple. Just scrap this unfair unclear invites and go with qualification for all 32 slots determined by true and actual skill level. To avoid abuse region lock with few resident-based exceptions. Here you go, WCS worth of it's name. | ||

The "problem" with qualifiers is that koreans would take all the spots and forums/twitter would be a full "they took our job!" shitfest. | ||

His performance at IEM outshines most of the people in that list. Its a joke TLO has been one of the best players in Europe since HotS though he's only had the ESET Masters run to prove it - LoWeLy is definitely more qualified, and Ret's recent IEM World Championship run was way more impressive than Feast's, having defeated MC, First and Sting in HotS, rather than almost a year ago in a different game. I like Feast, but I don't think he has done enough to warrant an invite. | ||

Thats exactly why i suggest region lock in previous message. No Koreans in EU/NA except for the ones who live there for some time. | ||

His performance at IEM outshines most of the people in that list. Its a joke Feast wasn't even qualified for the Global IEM finals, he had a grand total of 17,5 points last IEM season putting him at rank 51. Ret was together with Mana one of the 2 foreigners in top8 at IEM Global Finals. TLO was top 8 in katowice and last HSC. He also was top 12 at the last Dreamhack finals (same as Feast). Neither Lowely nor Happy did well at IEM or Dreamhack either. Feast is very strong right now in hots, I give you that but he didn't show that in tournaments yet. | ||

Invite him, or bury the hole thing. Sometimes the community has to stand up and say NO! Im missing a voting an TL about this point! | ||

They went to a lot of trouble qualifying for code S, some even severely delaying their HotS practice by being forced to play up&down just before HotS launched. And now what? Code B players get to play in the premier league of Europe/NA without any trouble. It's easier and it doesn't matter at all how you did the last month or two, just how big your name is. On the other hand HotS sort of equalizes the field a bit I guess so it isn't too bad but it still feels damn unfair. | ||
