Yeah! Very interested to see what Stephano can do there. Also: Isn't MVP already mathematically qualified on GSL points or is there also a GSL november?
Edit.
Also think that the IEM NY spot is a big of an 'easy ride' looking at the player pool and comparing that to other events. Think that that spot would have made more sense in NASL2 but considering what happened between NASL and the Koreans that probably wasn't an option. (Even though NASL was fully in the right there)

Mana? Sjow? DRG? SangHo? Elfi? Sounds pretty impressive to me.
They are good but not near the top 10, I hope DRG takes the IEM NYC otherwise I'd be dissapointed.
Mana crushes Stephano every game they play and Sjow is pretty much the only foreigner who has retained his code A spot lately. They're at least as good as the line-up of IPL3. DRG > Lucky, Mana > Stephano and Sjow > theSTC. IPL3 had more top players tho but saying Mana isn't top 10 ROFL
ahhahahaha funny > > > u underrate theSTC quiet a bit i think... and all other koreans that play at ipl3 put a high level on that tournament.
and actually mana said something like:"seriously, how to beat stephano?" but sure... mana is on fire

I have to agree with you on this. I'd personally rather have the last IEM winner + Show Spoiler +
idra
than any of the IEM NY contenders. No offense to the participating players, but very few if any seem to be on a level that could be anything more than cannon fodder for MVP/Nestea/Stephano ect

Are you suggesting that Idra would have a better chance at beating MVP/Nestea/Stephano than DRG or even Sangho?

Hmm, I think you are just partly right. In New York we will see DongRaeGu and Killer from Korea as well as maybe Sen and another worldclass player from Korea. The europeans are really strong as well so please don´t underrate these players...

I hadn't seen the Korean invites until after I posted that. Although I do think Idra would stand a better chance than killer tbh
edit: just in case, killer meaning sangho, not dkiller who will also be there (and in sangho's group)
edit 2: After seeing the other two invites are FD and Top I completely stand by my statement that I'd rather see the spot go to idra than the IEM NY winner. DRG MAY be able to take on MVP/Nestea and most likely could beat Stephano (as ZvZ is supposedly his worst matchup). FD hasn't done anything important in over a year, and TOP is a step below Nestea/MVP 9 times out of 10

yeah, i kind of think that those invites were set up just to give the eternally overrated DRG as close to a free ride into this event as you can, seeing how he's never done anything in korea. which means i would love it if mana can upset the applecart

Tbh the Chinese IEM lineup wasn't too stellar either. And I bet you'd be talking differently if Idra went out in the group like he almost did.
I'd be very happy if MaNa, Sjow or Strelok won in New York.
