I heard it was based on ladder ranks, and if so then it makes sense tgun isn't included as he wasn't laddering too much on SEA last season while in Korea.

Good thing slayers_dragon isn't in there, since he smashed our server.

so I guess moonglade wins then eh? I remember red archon from old sotg where they read out ladder rankings, that's about it.

Americans that dont follow our scene what so ever surprised they dont know anyone? Amazing.

YoonYJ and RedArchon are my picks for giving mOOnGLaDe a run for his money, at least they have in the past, secretly cheering for brotoss nGenLight to be the only protoss except naniwa at blizzcon.

Few SEA players are GM on NA ladder as well as the SEA one.

Wow, lowest prize pool yet of the invitationals. All have been at 24K with the China one being 18K. Even the Latin American invitational was at 24K.

Bit of a shame Iaguz is also missing from that list, definitely better than some of the others

Not sure if it's the actual reason but SEA has the most potential cost of flights for the players seeing it's a bunch of spread out islands and players from any of a dozen or so countries are potentially in the finals.

Cool story, bro.
I didn't get invited because Blizzard doesn't say _when_ they're taking the list of who gets invited: I was recently constantly in the top 8, thinking they took the rankings around the tournament date. From what I've been told, they actually take their list WAY earlier than that; it's very frustrating, but it happens. I think they need to be clear on how they determine their invites, though... without stating how (or when) they take their list, they could put down 8 random names and be able to justify them as we aren't able to challenge them.
And yes, before I'm asked. I'm mad. x_x;

(It's the top 8 average across the entire season!)

Yah pretty sure tgun has it right.

Just RedArchon. From some random tournament a while back. He was ok, definitely not a favorite against the Glade. If Moonglade plays like he did at IEM I still maintain that he'll win this tournament easily.

When people only know 1 player from a list they tend to do things like that.

I know everyone on that list and I know they are all capable of taking down glade. I can't even begin to predict the results of this tournament, will be good!

Hmm.. I was actually suprised when I was watching Benji and someone else cast some clan war with YoonYJ in it. I heard he was an impressive Terran, but after watching him play that TvT.. ugh. (I think it was against deth.. someone in TA)
I've been a fan of moonglade for a while, Rossi seems pretty inconsistent too.. My pick is Moonglade 1, light or mafia 2.
Sad to see no pig or iaguz there, they're both strong players who I'd pick over Rossi and deth too.

Wait, how the hell is Sen not in this? Am I missing something here?
edit: Maybe I'm wrongfully thinking Taiwan is part of SEA? That must be it. If so, are their players given any opportunity to compete for a Blizzcon place? Maybe part of the Chinese tournament? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

From wikipedia:
Southeast Asia (or Southeastern Asia) is a subregion of Asia, consisting of the countries that are geographically south of China, east of India and north of Australia.
Geographically Hong Kong,[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Macau,[13][14][15] and Taiwan[16][17][18][19][20][21] are sometimes[when?] grouped in the Southeast Asia subregion, although such grouping is rare politically, since in political usage the definition of Southeast Asia is overshadowed by ASEAN memberships. The same is true for the Andaman and Nicobar Islands of India,[22][23] and occasionally regions of the Seven Sister States such as Manipur.[24][25][26]
Also, TW server and SEA server are not the same. I am guessing Sen will be in the TW one?
RedArchon Fighting!!!
edit: I was hoping there would be a singaporean player, but no luck i guess. iceiceice : (

Sucks that you are not in it, you deserve it more than all of the players in this list except Moonglade ... but blizzard keep being stupid with their invites by not saying the rules.It wouldn't be hard for them to say: "top 8 of the ladder at the end of the season get an invite", and it would be faire competition, but no...
Anyway, good luck to Moonglade, it should be an easy win, and too bad that SEA will only have one decent representative for blizzcon.

Meh, Blizzard tourney using the Blizzard ladder. The idea is to make people ladder - telling people it's based on rankings from X week would mean someone who never plays on SEA could then time it so they jsut start laddering heavily for the event which I am guessing they don't want. Sure they could average it out over the whole season but I can see how there might be some players who dominate early on and then go inactive or get terrible before the playoffs.
|
Can a sea person answer this, has redarchon being like top 3 masters/gm since day 1? or am I thinking of someone else?
|
No iaguz? That's a surprise, he's definitely one of the top players in SEA.
My unbiased predictions:
1. Moonglade
2. Mafia
3. Deth
4. YYJ
5-8 Light, RedArchon, JazBas, Rossi
Unless the patch comes out first. Light might have a chance for 2nd/3rd if it does.

Jazbaz winning it. Called it.

Why no tgun and iaguz? This is shitty.

I think Blizzard's system for running this is not really good at all. But that can be said about several of their systems~

Look up SEA on the internet.... You'll find anywhere that Taiwan is not part of SEA. Neither Geographically, nor politically.
There is actually a SOUTH EAST ASIA, politically defined and all. Those are the countries in SEA. Aus/NZ are not in SEA, but they merely play in the SEA server. Taiwan is not in SEA. Neither is Japan. They aren't even close ~_~

There's also a reason people usually know a player and not others (i.e. because they compete on a grander stage, because they are better, etc.) It's not silly to think that Glade will take this.

It is silly to dismiss the others and think that GLaDe will take this. Just because 1 player got money to travel to Korea and lose a lot doesn't mean he's the only good player from the whole region.
I would agree that he has one of the best chances, but it will be really tough for him. Last year's Blizzcon (when he was by far the most dominate player in SEA imo) he lost and got 4th? 3rd? idk.. but not 1st or 2nd. RedArchon got first.
Now that GLaDe is not extremely dominate in SEA (he has TONS of competition now... not at all dominate like he was before) I don't really see his odds increasing?...
The problem I see though is that, even though all the players here are good, not all of them are the best players in SEA.
Regardless, I would guess RA or GLaDe to take it this year, but every single one of those players is just about as good as both RA and GLaDe (not quite as good, but just about as good).

Moonglade is not consistent, but he sure well has greater potential than any of these guys, and for many of them, this is their first major competition that will bring them to global attention. Glade has almost a decade of experience in the professional scene of RTS. I think he's got this. Easy.

You'll find anywhere that Taiwan is not part of SEA. Neither Geographically, nor politically. There is actually a SOUTH EAST ASIA, politically defined and all. Those are the countries in SEA. Aus/NZ are not in SEA, but they merely play in the SEA server. Taiwan is not in SEA. Neither is Japan. They aren't even close ~_~
Actually, geographically Taiwan and even Hong Kong is in SEA. Politically it's not coz the definition of SEA is that of ASEAN nations.

Rossi and Deth to take it home #1 #2
|
|
|
The lack of knowledge people have of these SEA players is actually really frustrating...YYJ jazbas, and deth are all GMs on NA as well as SEA, and take on everyone's favourite pro's regularly
Rossi is high masters ranked player on Korea, and occasionally plays NA to take on GMs there, Moonglade needs no explanation, u all know him by now, and Redarchon took 1st place at the last one.
mostly all of them have liquipedia pages which have been linked in the thread, and i encourage people to check em out, u might be surprised how much potential these guys have
its a shame iaguz, edge and tgun are missing from this list, but these 8 are nothing to scoff at by any means, and i look forward to them bringing perspective to the sc2 community who are on the whole, quite oblivious to the SEA scene.
(just because they're not recognized internationally doesn't actually mean they're not strong players, it only means they're not expected to be, so prepare to be surprised)
|
Only RedArchon is actually form SEA. The rest are from Australia/New Zealand. Makes me sad.
|
This is a really strong 8 for those who don't follow the SEA scene. Tgun runs his mouth alot but hasn't won much of note online/offline and most recently lost 2-0 to Deth in the Melbourne WCG Qualifier, he's hardly a must for this list. Everyone has a good shot at Glade, I wouldn't be game to pick a winner unlike all the idiots in this thread that assume SEA only has one good player.

Sad to see no pig or iaguz there, they're both strong players who I'd pick over Rossi and deth too.
Rossi's won something like 4 ESL's and 3 Community Opens with final wins over Mafia, YYJ and Iaguz (twice). He also won the June IEM finals beating Iaguz, RedArchon and Targa on the way.
deth took out Glade in the June IEM finals and has 2 ESL finals wins over Iaguz. Also this
Iaguz wouldn't be out of place on this list but it's not like he's got winning records against many of them. Might just deserve a spot for the number of silvers he's racked up though, bloody consistent.
PiG isn't that close to a spot, he's well known but definitely outside the top 8.
Really excited for the event, will be there to watch the finals live on Sunday :D
|
I'm going to the Melbourne Manabar barcraft for this Hope to see some of you guys there.
|
I'll be there n_n look forward to catching up with everyone and almost everyone in the invites list is a mate so I honestly don't mind who wins it.
|
Good luck to all players involved!
|
will be cheering on you guys from brisbane at manabar (:
|
I'm going to try to get out to the Manabar for the finals on Sunday, see you all there!!
|
This invitational is missing some JP Money in here but other than that the lineup aint too bad.
|
GOGO JAZ BAS & LIGHT YURR!
|

|

One hour to games guys :3

Extremely hard to predict but here are my picks!
1. Glade
2. Mafia
3. YoonYJ
4. Jazbas
Each player's best matchup(IMO and probably safe picks if they do get it!):
Glade: ZvT
Jazbas: ZvT
YoonYJ: TvP
MithRedarchon: TvP
Light: PvT
Rossi: TvZ
Mafia: ZvZ
Deth: TvZ(?)
|
Blizzard must be thanked for their player profile updates provided on the Battle.net website over the past 2 weeks. The nature of the questions asked and the tone of language were noob-friendly and encouraged noobs to play at a higher level. I was very impressed.
|
Kicking off in just a minute!
|
7 minutes not a single ling made.. Mafia...
|
WP by Mafia, donno why Deth just left a bunch of marines chillin on creep..
|
So much Deth!
What can men do against such reckless hellions.

It feels like they're on Skype or something. It's not too bad, if you put the volume up.

That WAS a lot of Zerg stuff...
Messy, but fun.

sad that redarchon met yoonyj so early
anyway mafia wins game 1

Sorry about the sound quality! The equipment is configured fine, not sure what the issues are.
Also apologies for the short delay during JazBas 2nd game vs mOOnGLaDe - his mouse bungee kept bumping the (extremely sensitive) buttons on his monitor, causing it to turn off.

mOOnGLaDe vs RedArchon coming up! Revenge match from 2010! (RedArchon defeated GLaDe in last years invitational)

Aha AU, that explains the lack of quality, anyhow could the casters please go out and buy real mics? Or atleast not speak in an empty room where everything is half echoing.

Pity the reward is in USD, that's more than a bit silly.

terrible mic quality
boring casters

I guess there are no VODs or anything, yeah?
I was kinda hoping that the SEA invitational would be like the NA invitational, with exceptional instant VODs of super production quality. :<

The guys are working on the audio quality, hopefully the issue will be resolved tomorrow. As we were chaining games back to back all day, there wasn't much of an opportunity to stop and fiddle with it.
Thanks for your feedback...

There's no stage it's at an internet cafe.
There will be media coverage later like some videos and photos uploaded.

Something to look forward to, eSports is going nowhere.

GRAND FINALS COMING UP!
The Australia vs New Zealand rivalry, and two Oceanic players, both Zerg, will represent SEA at Blizzcon!
Format: 2x Bo3 (winner's bracket advantage)
mOOnGLaDe vs JazBas
|
Glade is just ripping this tournament up, don't think it will get to the second BO3, don't even think it will get to game 3.
|
Why does moonglade just not lose AUS tourneys? It seems like he has absolutely no competition at the top.
|
That was a really cute move from Glade - using Contaminate to mess up the pathogen glands timing so that JazBas had his infestors spawn without the energy bonus.

He's just so much better than every other Australian player. I think only tgun can give him any competition.

mOOnGLaDe wins!
Not surprising, he's soooooo good.

He's back in form and playing alot for the first time in a while, but he has competition. He did drop 2 maps this tournament, and you haven't seem him vs everyone in SEA.

Go watch mOOnGLaDe vs iaguz :D sick series

Darn I feel bad that RedArchon had to face MG so early on in winners bracket. Those two are squaring off against each other on such a regular basis in every SEA tournament.

JazBas hit Glade in WB1 and managed to claw through the Lower Bracket for 2nd BL for RA sure, but Jaz fought back too!
EDIT: Grats to my JazBas as well as Glade Kinda fun sitting here watching JazBas do interviews :D Xeria Fighting!

GLADE my hero <3 Anyway, I'm awfully surprised at how well JazBas did. Congrats!
