From the sounds of it EG are preparing something big (incontrol's been on about it for ages). Maybe they don't currently have the sponsorship money to bring Idra from Korea. It's easier for Demu and grubby since they're EU based anyway. Notice how no american EG's made it either. Makes a lot of sense that way.
Incontrol said the big announcement has nothing to do with EG

All Socke does is 1 base. I might have missed it but I don't think I've ever seen him expand in PvP this weekend O.o.
indeed u missed something, he did an expo in pvp once and lost the game ;P (vs huk)
in the end it s pvp and expanding isn t really viable

Idra said he enjoyed a lot going to the MLG he won, and that he wants to attend the most foreign tourneys he can, so I guess the reason he's not there is not up to him.
A trip from Korea to US is more expensive than Korea > EU. So money is not an issue. If Greg wanted to go to Assembly, he would have applied for it to get an invite, like all other players did. And EG is not going to say no, if he think he's got a shot at winning it.

The stuff with incontrol got nothing to do with EG,

Well Tyler came from NA and Huk and Ret came from Korea. I don't see your point.

Stop derailing the thread. If you haven`t noticed game 3 is going on as we speak. Adel needs to win this one or else its all over.

Of course money is an issue. There is a budget to abide by.
Mouz manager said in his interview that they had to pick what was it 3 players to send to assembly.

Oh, fair enough.
Still makes sense that they only managed to send EU guys though.

Socke seems to be doing this blink build almost every game.

yeah, i know.. i meant their whole troops.
grubby and demuslim already were in europe so it's not that expensive to send them there.
no team can afford to send their whole guys to every bigger tourney so they only sent a few players to represent their team and of course they switch from time to time ^^
edit: and i think tl does the best job representing everywhere they can (read: spend a lot of money for their players so that they can attend at a lot of tourneys)

i hope Socke takes this quickly,, i want to eat..

And they are not on EG. I don't see your point either.

Honestly going to assembly isn't worth the money for EG. The prize money isn't very big.
MLG and dreamhack should be the priorities from what I have seen.
