That's ashame, conflicting with gsl. I guess they can only get the players who get knocked out early, I guess July Zerg will be good and FD might not get out of his group.

Was kinda looking forward to seeing your sweet Z style go up against some koreans, but oh well. I'll be rooting for you!

coward 
if everything with korean invites goes wrong, maybe IEM could invite US/EU players instead, hopefully with some balanced race invites ^___^

Maybe if the event wasn't 5 days for 16 people more koreans could go... a 2 day tournament that lasts a whole week wooooooooooooo

This could also mean Moonglade may not be able to attend IEM. IF he wins his round of 32 match in the GSL code A, then the round of 16 match would be played on either the 2nd or 4th of March which is right smack bang in the middle of the IEM tournament.

Woah, you're right. I'm pretty sure Moonglade would pick the GSL over IEM. Potentially, there won't be an Asian/SEA contingent at IEM.

No, they will be at CeBIT in Hanover, Germany. March 1st - 5th.
How much money does it cost to buy a ticket to get in?
Btw, as I searched in Google maps, there are 3 locations of CeBIT in Hannover, in which arena will the tournament be held? Can you tell me that a bit more clearer? (I live in Hannover, so I just want to meet Day9 there xD)

Hope you like ZvT moonglade :D

no liquid players? 
|
There were qualifications in EU/US and no liquid players qualified.
Any word on the price money for this?
Or the korean players....

Or whether the event will be shorter? >_< I'd like to go but I'm hardly keen on driving for 5 hours just to watch a single Bo5.

Possible Code S players: 2 Losers each of Groups A (MVP, July, MC, Hyperdub), B (Clide, Zenio, Byun), C (Polt, Rainbow, Check), D (Nada, TheBest, HongUn, TOP), E (Nestea, San, Boxer, Ensnare), F (choya, Lyn, BanBans, TheWind).
If you want to see any of these players, you have to hope for them (lol) to a) lose their groups, b) be invited, and c) willing to leave Korea and to accept the invite, all of which on an extremely short notice.
Same goes for the losers of Code A Ro32; anyone who wins Ro32 will surely not participate since to the Koreans (and most of us, frankly) GSL is the bigger (Code S) and/or more important (shot for Code A/S up+down) tournament.
It's a shame, really, but you can blame no one. Dates of bigger tournaments, eSports or not, always have collided and always will collide, since booking of the place and stage have to be planned at least months prior to the event.
The good news is that we can hope for players like ST_Bomber or NEXPuzzle to get an invite.

I doubt they'll just pick up what they can get like that. The whole idea with korean invites seems like a bad idea to start with unless you make a deal with them long before. And if no koreans can make it because of schedule issues its better to just invite 4 more EU/US players (like the top finishers who just missed the cut at EU/US qualifiers?). There should really have been some korean qualifiers too i guess.
Im hoping they either invite more EU/US players or just make it an 8player tournament. Having 4 random koreans (which obviously still will be really good players, but hardly earned their spot) come simply because "they were the only ones who could make the schedule" is pretty terrible when EU/US players had to go through qualifiers. At least if it would be top koreans it would be based on their previous success in other tournaments, but if it just random koreans who had a few free days in their schedule i'd rather go with more EU/US players or with an 8player tourny. At least that would be fair.

@ Kreb, prize money is atleast 30.000 $ , the korean players will be announced very very soon I can only imagine  , the IEM Global finals is a _HUGE_ event for ESL and hopefully its gonna be huge for everyone who enjoys e-sports/sc II ;P

Cool, thanks. Looks relly good on the price money part at least!

Yep, being as they only had one invite for Asia/SEA, and both of the finalists are in the GSL, my hopes weren't high of seeing any Asia/SEA people in the IEM.
