We were prepared for this. Many people don't understand that there are limited slots and we do our best to accommodate everyone. We expect the negativity to die down once the 16 players have been solidified.

don't listen to guys like this dacthehork or gretorp who just spam to try to get in, if u let these guys in then all ur future events and every sc2 tourney will be ppls friends talking each other up

plz stick to ur guns and dont invite these clowns. great job so far.

I didnt want to get in, I wasn't arguing for anyone else to get in or anything. I have never said in this thread "You are missing X, or should add Y. I am definitely not good enough for this tournament.

I was just arguing about Idra's assertion that certain other players hadn't proven themselves. It was merely about how BM he is to other players and saying how unproven they are, when a lot of them had done pretty well in recent events and the ladder and can definitely be considered "top players"

Guys, this is going to be an epic tourny. HD and Husky, I have been fans of yours for a very long time, and I'm so excited to see you guys doing this. There are some huge names and I hope to see some truly amazing games coupled with equally amazing commentary!

I just expressed interest on my stream and told if people think i'm good enough then say something. I highly doubt you can judge skill level baller so stop clownin everywhere you go acting like you know the difference between high level or not :O! You just so bitter and cute and it makes me all tingly in my belly :-)

and regardless i fully support the tournament regardless if i'm in it or not, as it's awesome that sponsors are taking sc2 seriously :-) Thank you for everything HD and husky!

My original post was a vote for who I thought should be in the tourny, but after all the drama going on in all these other posts, I'm removing it. I just want to give a big thanks HD and Husky for putting together something that is clearly going to be awesome. Great work guys.

I think next time you should just invite 16 EU players at least you won't have this much complaining and ego boosting going on.

I laughed so hard at this post. So funny and true. I remember a quote I read on a Swedish BW forum 10 or so years ago: "You win some, you lose some, and you keep it to yourself."

even tho eu players are FAR more mannered, it's better if you stick to US server players. There are already enough tournaments in EU.

Invite the fnatic guys, they are good too.

if ur spam fans r allowed to give their opinions in this thread why cant i say who i don't want invited? its the same thing, im just as "qualified" as ur legions of 5 post fans

r u saying that if some1 wants u in, they r good judge of skill but if they dont want u in, its resentment? i watched all streams (including urs) and i dont think u should be invited. its a qualified opinion just like all ur buddies.

edit: great job with the tourney HD and husky so far

no i'm not arguing that you're not allowd to say who you don't want to be invited, but don't try to mask it by saying that it's just friends and fans that want me in. There exists some people that think I have the qualified skill to be a potential in this. These people have seen me play and know my capabilities, where as you don't have any clue of how I play, and don't want me in the tournament because of resentment. Hence why I think you're a little cutie :-)

Anyway, you can say what you want I don't want to detract from the threat any longer. ggl

People have to keep in mind that this is almost a business decision, they have to invite the people who will bring the most views/controversy and as of now it looks like they are off to a good start.

Its their first tourney to my knowledge, and relatively small and very selective but they are defiantly off to a good start.

Its impossible to please everyone and if your favorite player didn't get invited to this one im almost positive they will be hosting more tourneys later on.

as for now im absolutely pumped about this tourney no matter who is playing there are going to be some epic games.

Why is he not allowed?
