Players such as Jinro, HuK, and Adelscott did not apply for this tour, so don't ask why they aren't on this list. DIMAGA, Kas, and LaLush turned applications in late so they will not appear either. Please take some time to learn who exactly applied. Please inform yourself about who applied and who didn't. |

Although, I guess he was still kinda unknown in the US until his TSL game. which is BS, cause Cruncher has been chosen cause of his win vs Idra... You should re-read Xeris' statement. He said the Cruncher pick was VALIDATED by Cruncher's win over Idra, not that he was picked because of it. Jesus christ people need to stop hating on Cruncher. I can't say I'm a fan of his style, but he completely shat on Pain User and Sjow, two world class Terrans and has consistently posted great results recently. His style is really abusive, for example he took complete advantage of Sjow's late scouting weakness, but wins are wins and it seems to seem Cruncher is here to stay and not just a passing fad (like Masq and Silver). Where do you see any Cruncher-hating in the posts you quoted? Two quotes in the guy said they only picked Cruncher because of his win over Idra. just to clarify, I'm not hating on Cruncher, I'm pointing out that Thorzain has achieved the same standard which made them pick Cruncher, winning a TLopen. (I misread the TSL stuff, already apologized for that)

As i said im sick of how i get threated .. i can take visa like NO PROBLEM , u didnt even bother to ask me or tell me about the visa , u only told me about the visa after i asked if im invited .. thats just pathetic and desgusting , when i have apply for the NASL u could have told me about the visa and by now i would already have had apply for it and take it . Romania is part of the european nations and so i would have not even 1 problem in taking the visa . Very profesional tho very... and the answer is even more profesional .. kind agree with NightEnD...how can you assume and decide something without even discussing with the actual player, NASL is very unprofessional in my eyes.

Thanks for the private message, all understood now although the only reason it was done infront of the hospital was purely for the video - the half cast i was wearing was just to keep my arm concealed where the stitches were. If you spoke to me personally i'd have assured you that everything would have been ok, i'm sad that was overlooked, but anyhow thanks for the message. I also believe that my being out of action for 2 months, compared to the results i made before hand to be abit odd, when it came to TL ranking and prize money earnt i held a pretty high position. I'm pretty sure with those 2 months MIA i still hold a pretty recognisable resume compared to a few others on the list. I shipped to the UK to rest, to rest up for NASL and received further physio (it's not necessary although it's a step i'm taking to hasten the healing process). As i've stated i've been ready to play, i just wish i was asked instead of my application video being taken too literally, i'm sad that effort kinda ended up biting me in the ass. Hope the tournament runs smoothly anyhow.

Gl to those in, will be a fun turny to watch for sure. that's class everyone, take note Agreed. Minigun, you're a class act, bud. This is why minigun is my favorite protoss... he worked is way up from gold -> one of best NA protoss. and doesn't insult the NASL over their decisions, he just decides to get better. Minigun, you are a superhero bro.
Well said Minigun! I love Root and think you could go deep in NASL in the future, hope you get the opportunity in some high level tournaments and prove yourself.

Lol NASL people all doctors who can successfully diagnose Demuslims recovery time based on a youtube vid.
|
sucks minigun didnt get in but overall this went about as well as it could have thanks Xeris
|
Looking at the traffic by country for tl.net at alexa.com, UK is in the 5th place with 4.3% visitors. I feel bad for the UK community not getting Demuslim invited.
|
while I would have liked to see some players that have been doing well lately in team leagues, tournaments get in like murder/time/thorzaine hopefully they get in next season.
Can't wait for this too start ^_^

I think xeris's explanation for why he picked whom is pretty solid. I totally agree with stalife being one of the most underrated players he beat Inc very convincingly at the eg masters cup among others. One thing I don't however agree with Is cruncher over minigun I'm sure it was a hard choice though but minigun has shown results and is actually a prominent community member on the battle. Net boards everyone knows who he is. Other than that although I may not agree with some of the picks I understand alot better now.
I have been really critical in the past about the selection process but I just like to say that you guys did a good job overall and with the format the way it is everyone should get to see their favorites anyways. Thanks xeris

can't say I agree with ALL the players, but 99% of this is spot on. Nice work. Should be a good tournament!

I can only say that the answer is rly good and after i saw grubby is invited as P i checked here ( http://www.dragon-league.com/en/matches/ranking ) and i can totaly agree with the decision and in general the invites are superb GG very pro . ps im getting sick of how i always get treated
That's a ridiculous excuse indeed. Romania has quite a big community and just like UK we got a big FU from NASL.
|
I feel really bad for Nightend and Demuslim. Kas and Dimaga as well.
I hope these players will show that they actually belong in the league in the open qualifiers, although such tournaments are always somewhat random.
|
No Minigun? Should be in over Incontrol, Grubby, or Machine to be honest.
|
I was honestly prett worried that they werent going to pick July morrow nada mc boxer yesterday Lol it was the only players left who made sense though overall im pretty happy

From a business point of view it is their loss. People tend to support their nation even more so when Demuslim is the only one from the UK. I don't know how many tickets they won't sell due to this decision. But if the UK stands at 4th in terms of visitors for TL, you can assume it will be a bug chunk of their revenue.

only explination i dont buy is the Demuslim one, singlehandledly demuslim draws in the entire UK scene, and even with 1 arm (he has 2 guys) he would outplay artosis etc, so whats the issue?

Its lame, but it should be expected. Any time there is an event I care about I plan to watch later, I stay AWAY from forums. There are way too many people here to expect no one to spoil, so I'd recommend just steering clear of TL until you watch whatever it is you want to see without spoilers.
