SuperNova just won Code A, Bomber has won plenty outside the GSL, probably top player that hasn't managed to get into Code A/S so far, and is far better then some people IN Code S (rain)

Is HuK the one asking the questions in the oGs videos?

In my opinion if they're picking based primarily on skill they're going to have to pick a large amount of Koreans. Probably 80+% Koreans. I can't imagine being one of the guys who has to narrow this pool down to 50. Why not just start out with a massive preliminary of like 256 in which certain entertaining games are selected for casting, and every game past the round of 64 is cast?

Bomber is 4th in ELO rankings and supernova is 12th. It's not only GSL that gives you a solid record. Other tournaments exist too. Besides, bomber showed his skill in teamleaque and gisado, while supernova was a code finalist and beating out alicia in the process who took out mvp.

Ya I didn't watch Code A finals or team leagues. I guess they're good.

It's going to be quite a challenge to pick who gets to play in this league. I don't envy whoever has to make those decisions. Obviously ALL of the Koreans who have and might potentially still apply won't be getting in. That would barely leave room for any foreigners. But some are obvious ones, like NaDa, July and MC. And I'd think a few more than that should ideally be let in.
Something like 10-15 Korean invites would be good, I think. Any lower than that and you'd have to exclude too many who actually took the effort to make a video of themselves in a language they either don't speak at all or probably not very well, something they knew would be public. That's no small thing. There is a significant number on TL who would prefer this tournament be all Korean because Koreans are the best players. Since its fairly easy to find 50 Koreans that are better than all the foreigners outside of Korea (code A > US+EU+Athene), you must have either an ALL-Korean league or no Koreans at all. Middle grounds, grey areas, and places where people meet half way do NOT exist! Anybody stating otherwise will be seen as biased and delusional. In other words, it sucks to be Xeris right now  you are SO wrong about this code A > US+EU omg, you guys just think IEM prooved that, but why the hell didnt IdrA roflstomp all the players there, being a more than average CodeS player?
the top 5 players at iem had all been training in korea, how is that not proof?

I am pretty sure they won't pick purely on skill. I think that if you invite the best players from each region you can still claim to have a tournament with the best players. I am pretty sure everyone would love to see a pretty even split of Americas, Europes and Koreas best players duke it out (with some SEA players sprinkled in there ofcourse).

MC is such a fuckin boss. I'd be honored to get owned by him in the first round of a tournament. I'd put the replays on a floppy disk and ask him to sign it.

Well, he's the best random player in the world. :-)
I do hope that he does play random..

NaDa has to be invited. He has the skill and probably the most touching backstory in pro-gaming.

I'm just wondering: wouldnt the NASL interfere with GSL schedules in korea?
If players like MC or July are accepted, how are they supposed to manage NASL and GSL?
|
I loved the Korean Videos and hope to see more of them!
|
It seems like the Korean teams with foreign connections are the ones applying to NASL. Any StarTale member that makes it into the league owes Torch a dinner?
Also, I am fully in support of 5 oGs, 5 StarTale guys getting invited. NASL will be FAR FAR better with the added storyline of brave local heroes battling Korean bosses.

Damn oGs...I feel bad for NASL organizers... whichever 50 players they choose, whatever they do, there are going to be a lot of players left out...the backlash will be huge... You're kinda asking for it with an invite league though
Yea make some epic qualifiers and everyone would be happy no ones gonna complain because someone got eliminated from a qualifier. That being said with all these top tier koreans applying they better only take the best of the best from north america, people with results not just people who have funny application videos, if they take someone like pokebunny (they defenetly wont take him but someone like him) over a top tier korean i would be extremely dissapointed.

they wont interfere , the games are going to be shot 24 hours in advance meaning that it will be a completly different time of day from when the gsl is being broadcast, the games will happen 6-7 hours before the gsl and finish 3 or 4 hours before the gsl starts. as for the round of 16 offline portion that is happening over a weekend im pretty sure it wont interfere with the gsl.

the group stages will take place online as far as i know, with a live caster observing and casting the matches, they will then take that, and edit it and release the matches daily throughout the week. Scheduling the games can be done such that they happen inbetween gsl matches, especially since gsl matches on a per player basis don't tend to be an "every day of the week" thing. only the top 16 will require flying out to LA to play, and by then, the GSL schedule may be open or the non-NA players will need to make a decision as to when/if they go to LA. This is no different to any EU or NA player who doesn't live close to LA. potential conflicts can arise, they'll just have to make a choice should they make it to the ro16.

yea that would be so awesome getting 4-5 ogs players and 4-5 startale players, im sure a few other top koreans will apply (i think it may be past the deadline maybe some more did but we they just didnt get linked) hopefully we will see 12-15 koreans that would be idea and make the tournament Far far better as you put it :D
