Not bad invites, though it seems they left out quite many good players and picked some inferior options. Why aren't Ostojiy and DeMuslim in the list? Looks like Blizzard might've rushed it and forgot some players...

I feel like state, Capoch, Hellokitty and Maker could have been replaced. For instance with Demuslim, Ostojiy or someone like those.

The EU list is pretty good, I feel like maybe fraer and Lowely should have had an invite, but you can always find those small adjustments.

Overall though, EU>NA in terms of list of invites

Why does DeMuslim never get noticed in any of these ;_; F M L
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


I don't understand why Demuslim isn't invited either, but I don't think his problem is not getting noticed.

Seriously, if you think that Demuslim or whoever else is so good but wasn't invited... then you should have confidence and he will just qualify. There are still 8 players who will join the first list, so surely if he is that good enough, it will be easy for him, right?

Wrong. There are still a lot of top koreans left that will try to qualify for these spots. Its highly unlikely that any non-Korean will get one of those NA qualifier spots.

Although I kind of understand why Demuslim was not invited. He is not American, thus he probably had to compete against Koreans to get an invite spot. So it was not Capoch or whatever who was invited over him, but people like Polt.

Off-season = best season

Well, qualifications gonna be realy hard.
Just think how much players are missing? (EU)
Fraer, Elfi, Feast, Naama, Happy, LiveZerg, Protosser, Fuzer, NightEnd, Bling, Bischu, Welmu, Tod, Pomi, DieStar, LoWely, Strelok, Bratok etc...
They should have given only 12 invites, 24 IS WAY TOO MUCH. How you can choose who is better than someone else?

Nestea can still compete, he took third in iron squid quite recently. don't write him off as non competitive.

Well, the key mistake is that they should have defined a criterion for invites and made it publicly known. That is, which tournament results are taken into consideration and how. Even if this is difficult to define and they would have gotten a lot of shit about it anyway ("wow, why is X worth more than Y", "wow, why isn't tournament Z on the list"), it would have been a better way to do things, IMO.

There's also obviously a problem with opportunity. Some of these players probably participated in very few tournaments because they're on a financially weaker team or not full-time etc. However, this is actually the reason you'd let them have to qualify because they haven't shown they "deserve" an invite. The problem is unfortunately that the qualifier will probably be extremely difficult, so very few NA players will get through it.

As for Demuslim, I think his NASL results alone qualify him for an invite above some of these players. Lowely also should have been invited based on results I think.

A lot of Fins there. Your compatriots got owned pretty hard by the invite thing I have to say.

Especially if you consider that every failed Code A qualificant from today and yesterday is allowed to play (if I interpret the Blizzard Q&A correctly).

It is very obvious that blizzard and especially the guys who are responsible for these "invites" are a group of amateurs who don´t seem to follow the scene close enough.

The most ridiculous point is certainly the missing invite of (arguably) THE best Terran outside of Korea - DEMUSLIM

There can´t be any logical explanation for this fault. If they have been looking for the most popular guys he would be in and if they have been looking for the best performing guys he would be in as well.

Such a shame!!!

..then there would have been 12 more Koreans going to EU/NA.

if you can't qualify you won't do well either. Ie you had no right to be there in the first place.
I wouldn't be surprised if after two seasons the NA/EU premier leagues will be 75% korean showing how silly the entire idea is in the first place..

EU looks ok. Not perfect but nice enough. America on the other hand seems strange... but I have nearly 0 knowledge when it comes to South America.

I wish they'd get rid of any invite whatsoever and held everything offline, or at least have the invite reduce to a strict minimum based on previous WCS only.
