hmm.. IdrA, Tyler could do it but good thing for koreans he is staying at home , and i would have high hopes for White RA... if he tried

I hope the GSL doesnt suffer to many terrans though... unlike the ESL. I mean maybe all the best players gather but if everyone is terran that would be ...... you know what im trying to say.

Of course i wish best of luck to the liquid team members trying to push their luck in korea btw hopefully they get a uniform so we can all buy it, wear it and laugh our ass if we meet irl. walking around in it

have a nice day
To wait for Luck isnt lucky to create luck is what being lucky truly means

Not sure how many that are going to participate. Atleast 2-3 of the top foreigners should qualify.

Build orders are strategies are still up in the air. I'm betting we'll see a pretty high number.

So far, you have the best foreigners playing while the best koreans are still sticking to scbw. We will probably see idra and tlo in there at least.

I thought foreigner and starcraft and auto-vote no, then I realized it was SC2.

Well they got the shear numbers against them but in terms of skill I doubt foreigners are very far behind (people tend to forget that foreigners kept up well with the koreans until a few years into BW).

Not to mention that the real best-of-the-best Korea has to offer still plays BW

So chances are fairly good!

EDIT: Had a :/ after the "still plays BW" sentence which doesn't even make sense should be a =DDD

Offchance of TLO getting in i'd say.

I dont think idrA counts as foreign at this point, certainly not in the context of SC2. Regardless, I can still see some TL player making it in.

I voted "more likely than not" because while some top korean players have insane apm and game senses, as well as aggressive play, some foreigners are also really good. Not seeing foreigners would be rather unfortunate, and could be detrimental to esports' popularity.

I think that some foreigners really need to step their game up in order to compete with the extreme playstyle of some koreans though.

depends how the brackets for the qualifiers work.

just hope to god they arent going to match the foreigners together.


This.

PS: And yes it seems that Idra does not count as a foreigner.

I don't think any non Koreans are going to make it. Idra prolly has the best chance, but even still, he's been in Korea for 2 or 3 years now, has played maybe one or two televised games in the proleague, and never made it in to either one of the starleagues. Admittedly, sc2 is still new, so Korea hasn't had a chance to dominate the game yet, but a lot of sc1 mechanics are transferable, so I still think the Koreans are going to be miles ahead. I think GSL is gonna be all Korea, all the time.
Nothing is impossible, only too expensive.

Yes more than 1. I'm positive we have some guys that'll be able to make it.
