EPTRegardless, this team league is very exciting. I really like team leagues, and hopefully this will build up to the point where during the next IPL they have the two top teams play each other before the individual tournament starts. The obvious downside is that some teams couldn't fly their entire roster in, and even just flying in a large chunk may be too much for a team like SlayerS.

Having Stephano, the winner of IPL 3, made a very strong case for Millenium. I won't get into why we picked each team, but we know Empire has a strong lineup of great players. Many teams who did not get picked also have very strong lineups. | ||

Dont get me wrong i love to watch Stephano play, but this is a team arena and if Stephano makes an error his team will probably get allkilled which doesnt really provide for great entertainment. While inviting teams with a huge backbone can keep bo9's interesting till the last set. | ||

In the last 2 months they got First in GCPL over Eg/mouz/liquid/dignitas/fnatic/complexity, 2nd in the EGmasters cup over similar teams -liquid only losing to mouz 2-3 in the finals, 2nd in that russian/eastern/central europe team league IPTL finishing top of the round robin too http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Incredible_Panic_Team_League_Season_2 Along with mouz they are easily the best european team league team and they just picked up welmu. I'm pretty sad about this as well, I understand that in invite only tournaments someone is always going to get snubbed, but I cant help but feel bad that placing 1st and 2nd in two of the most prominent team league events outside of Korea cant earn you a spot in an invitational. I'm not sure what criteria was used for the invites and I'm still excited for the event, but I really feel bad for Empire not getting a shot at playing. | ||

I thought your post should have be a haiku, so I made it a haiku. I also think that coL-MVP should do very well in this tournament, so that was part of the motivation of this post too-- it was mostly the haiku part though. | ||

I don't see at all how it can be a hard decision to give them an invite or not, unless it was only slayers/mvp spots that were up for grabs. | ||

Empire is an amazing team, so don't let anyone say anything else. Even I doubted Empire in the past, but they proved me wrong! Also... the reason we declined to participate in the league is because we currently only have 4 players on our roster (plus me and an inactive JF)... and since the league is KOTH style, and bo9 format... we'd need 5 people on at the same time, which in our current circumstances is impossible. NightEnD is in Europe, and ToD is in Korea, with KawaiiRice in the USA, and Rain going back and forth between Korea and USA -- it was not possible for us to participate in the league  Sorry to those who wanted to see us play. | ||
