Thanks hotbid, I guess I've attempted to make my point and failed. No shame there!

I don't know who this latest invitee is. Anyone know anything interesting about him? Can't listen to the intro atm.

Ooh Bling. I have never heard of him. I'm at work or I would listen to the MP3. Whoever he is he is bound to be a freaking amazing player to have been picked along with these other guys.

I'm interested to see BlinG play: I can't say I've ever seen him.
It'll be nice to see if Dignitas has any team depth.

Nice one TB getting a Brit in and giving him a good chance to show his stuff on a Big stage. Really interested to know who the last two invites are I'm expecting a Terran and Zerg and would love it if it was DeMusliM and Destiny but whoever you have chosen I'm sure they will be awesome.

Also TB Ignore the idiot your doing a FANTASTIC job as I'm sure you know keep up the good work.

He's a British player, got picked up by Dignitas after their last player search tournament. Only other notable player from the UK apart from Demuslim. Lost to Select at GadgetShow (biggest lan he's been at). Lots of potential, nice for him to get a chance in this, get his name out there and show some good games hopefully.

So. Who wants to speculate on what other terrans are going to be in the tournament.

Strelok.
Kas.
Goody.
Thorzain.
Brat_Ok.
Tarson.
PredY.

My gut feeling is they all have a pretty good chance of getting an invite. I'm sure theres others, althougth I'm struggling to think of many stand out NA Terrans at present, save the current invitee Select. Maybe Sixjax_MajOr, Demuslim or KawaiiRice. But major's been a naughty boy recently so I can't see it being him.

Would love some Goody or Thorzain action myself.

75% Britishness achieved, Apollo, TB, and BlinG! Can we make it 100% with DeMusliM plz? ^_^

Shame the Ssssss theory is ruined now. Makes guessing a lot harder.

Never heard of Bling, let's find out what he's worth.

And it could be 1 terran & 1 zerg as well, assuming equal race spread. I'd prefer ZvZ over TvT anyway, some 7 minutes baneling micro matches are more fun than 45minute tank standoffs.

Bling's cool -- but as far as protoss go I would've much preferred to see Naniwa, though I know Naniwa is very selective when it comes to tournaments and he is going to Korea soon.

As far as Brits go -- I think Demuslim would've been better.

I don't know, Bling's achievement list seems far smaller than everyone else in the tournament.

Those are all pretty good T's. I could also see Merz or maybe Sixjax.Cocoa or sixjax.dde as somewhat less prominent T's. There are a lot of possible Z's. Stephano or Morrow would be fun, but they were in the last one, and I don't know if they're trying for mostly new people. Catz could make things fun. I don't know the lesser known zergs very well.

About Thorzain, since Naniwa was not invited for reasons of being in Korea, wouldn't Thorzain also not be invited?

And Goody would be an awesome choice. The guy has such obvious flaws in mechanics and the more visible aspects of the game, looking at him play, I feel like I'm almost watching someone who's not a pro play; yet the guy wins, so there's definitely other aspects (starsense maybe) of his play that is heads and shoulders above all the other pros good that make him so good.

Been pointed out several times before, Naniwa was invited but we were told that he would be in Korea by that point and the invite was declined. Naniwa will no doubt be in a future event.
