A lot of Korean players do follow the foreigner scene, especially when it involves Korea players. This tournament consists of Maka, Intotherainbow, Tester, Cool.. I'm sure Koreans will be following this tournament. I don't know if UpMagic playing will be a positive or negative impact. It sure will stir up a lot of flames..

no player suggestions, but could you invite Day9 to co-cast some of the games? his technical knowledge would make a great tournament even better.

I'm late to the party but I would give my left nut to see MSV in this tourney. You have QxC and Huk and I've seen MSV spank both of those players to the nth degree.. I would love to see him pair off against a real challenge like TLO

If this suggestion means anything why not post a poll about how to run the system. We can have options such as compiling names for a popularity contest like what most people are doing right now or having a qualifying bracket. If someone has the time to come up for more options, that would be great but this just my opinion.

UpMaGiC a chance is perfectly reasonable. Especially in a largely non-korean tourney such as this.

Artosis' interview with Hwanni and UpMagic created a massive stir in Korea, do you really think inviting him for a large tournament will send out a good message? I think you're missing the big picture and only focusing on the idea of a known Korean progamer in a foreigner tournament.

I only saw one person in the thread mention grubby. He is one of the best WC3 players ever and played those awesome games vs. garitmo.

Naw I see the big picture, and I understand the arguments against it perfectly well. I have been playing SC for 12 years and following the pro scene since Boxer and [GG99]Slayer were playing. I don't think causing a stir would be a horrible thing given the specific situation.

I also don't feel the need to argue in other peoples tourney threads, so I will leave it at that.

Dude if Sangho and Upmagic have already started training, then there isn't a better tourny in the world than this to bring them into the SC2 spotlight. I'd give an arm to see upmagic play sc2 terran:D.

I understand why some people might find it bad but honestly this is a new game and a new start. Plus he's one of the most inventive players in the history of BW. And from a "viewer-ship" point of view, this will only bring MORE interest to the tourny and sc2 if people talk about it.

I would suggest BigT to be in the HDH2. He is a streamer on tl and was in the same league as moonglade, TTone, and Azz i believe. I've seen him beat them all with solid macro play, including painuser, and LZ. He is not a one base all in kind of player.

thanks
