ASUS ROG Stars Invite, starting 4th of November in Helsinki, Finland, invites the ASUS ROG tournament champion mTw.DIMAGA and Finland’s currently the most successful player Acer.elfi to compete for the 10 000 $ prize pool.
A few weeks to go until the ASUS ROG Stars Invite Starcraft II tournament launches at Helsinki, Finland, to continue the epic started at Assembly Summer 2011 in the form of ASUS ROG Starcraft II tournament. Now, ASUS ROG Stars Invite calls for eight world class players and it’s time to introduce our first two attendees: Dmytro "mTw.DIMAGA" Filipchuk and Samuli "Acer.elfi" Sihvonen.
DIMAGA, the latest ASUS ROG tournament champion, is now given the opportunity to defend his reign on Finnish soil. Should he be successful, the biggest question in the minds of the audience is: can he top the manliness of his celebration flexes from last time? Known for his aggressive and entertaining Zerg style, this smirking Ukrainian has attracted a big fan base far before his first major title in August.
The champion of Finland: elfi. The past few weeks have seen “The Knight of Teuroinen” on a tear, qualifying for four different tournaments held outside Europe, including two IEM World Challenges and the WCG. These latest endeavors are at latest the ones that give him the crown of best Finnish player. Falling to Dimaga in the quarterfinals of Assembly Summer, he might get a rematch against the Ukrainian Zerg and exact some revenge. As it stands he might not have to wait even that long: the two are currently on a crash course to meet in the semifinals of IEM Guangzhou after winning their respective groups, should they clear their quarterfinal opponents.

Sweet invites, they are two really deserving players ^^. I don't know elfi as much, but from what I saw of him at IEM he defiantly deserves to be at this tourney.
Dimaga is such a great player, great to see that he has received top priority for the invitations to this event. ASUS ROG is shaping up to be an epic tournament, I just cannot wait for it to finally take place.
