I guess Naniwa was invited every time before, so if he happens to be in Europe and is available, maybe he'll be in this one.

But Naniwa is still in Korea and plans to stay there for a while. For this reason I don't think that Nani will play here.

popularity matters it seems, not that i blame you, offcourse you want the max amount of viewers but will quality suffer i wonder. I will wait and see for the rest of the invites.

He did toss in some toss I'd never heard of last time. Sure most of the invites are popular people but it seems he likes to give people a chance to come out in this tourney as well. And every invite tourney does this, MLG doesn't get shit for bringing in Boxer again as a Korean invite. (Not a lot of it anyway I am sure some people gives MLG grief for it.)

it will be awesome if you invate Mana, Nerchio and Tarson

Yes but especially Mana, he is easily a top 5 foreigner imo. Would be great to see some of the beasts from the east too.

Well, it seems the next invite goes to fanfavourite TLO.
He just recently started practicing again, and his games at MLG looked promising.

last invitational was good fun but this one should be made better by the winner playing a bo5 showmatch vs totalbiscuit whilst apollo casts the entire thing on helium, all for a charity of the winner's choice.

there are some things i would pay to see.

Mana was in the first one, hoping to see some new people instead(Tarson!)

I'd like to point out to some of those who have been going 'meh' to some of the invites, one of the great things about this invitational has been the quality of the games.
I'd say some of them have been among my favourites of ANY tourney I've seen and that includes IPL/MLG/NASL/DH/IEM etc etc, not to mention I dont think I've seen a bad match in either SCI so far and one of the major reasons for that is that TB and co take great care in getting players that match up well in the format.
So excluding/not inviting someone does automatically make it worse, it actually makes it BETTERER!!!!

lol you choose destiny over someone like idra? that is a joke

At least Destiny doesn't forfeit his games after he's down 0-1 :o
IdrA is very overrated now, look at his last MLG.

On topic: looking forward to this tournament, I watched all matches so far :D
