It makes sense. IGN is a way bigger organization than whatever the NASL's org is, with a lot more experience, they also started out small, which gave them more and more experience, and the way they structure their leagues makes much more sense (as in - not inviting 50 players for a 10 week lon league, it's just too long).
NASL should downside and set lower goals, make a smaller tournemant with invites, than invite the winner + whoever of that tournemant into the next and have some qualifiers etc etc.
I am hoping IGN will get more popular than NASL and slowly phase out NASL and their poor production value. IGN got much more $$ to throw at this and promote it. IPL 1 and 2 weren't that popular due to lack of popular players but IPL 3 is shaping up real nice.
EG.HuK is our second CONFIRMED Protoss invite, and our seventh overall. Keep watching to see who will be confirmed as our eighth and final invite for Atlantic City!

I don't think they would really leave boxer as the lone korean invite. However, maybe they will, which is why I want koreans to take all 8 qualifying spots so we have some koreans there as I'm not sure how many will fly out to play in the open bracket.
Why is there only one korean invited? is ign protecting foreign players by not inviting the best koreans? sure there are the qualifiers, but really its whoever hears about the qualifiers that determines which korean is going to qualify. (Do you really think a foreigner would have a smallest chance at qualifying if ALL the korean teams knew about the qualifiers?) Prime and Slayers know about the qualifiers, however there are 0 IM players, or ogs. If the last invite is nestea then i suppose that would make everything better. If ign didn't invite a top tier code s player as the last invite, perhaps it would mean that they don't want a korean stomping over everybody and instead have closer games.

Maybe those koreans just aren't signing up. Any of them with access to TL or twitter or a friend with TL access can know about this very easily.

Please pick Nestea, so he can win Blizzcon, GSL@Blizzcon, and IPL all in one fell swoop. For the sake of convenience and efficiency.
I don't think Boxer will be the only korean invited. And based on the fact that there are 3 terrans in the list... I'm thinking either a zerg or protoss.
