jinro and TLO?
tournaments still not getting it.... I missed the part where they said only players with great results lately will be invited. The invites are note made up by performance, i thought everyone knows this by now.
Well, TLO is universally loved person, and also incredibly funny guy, so regardless of his results he is remembered from the events. Jinro - Gorilla Terran, sc2 mascot for like 50% of population, and top4 Code S at his day. Same can be said about Incontrol who for quite a long time gets 1-6 record in major tourneys, and still is popular thanks to his character and sense of humor.
I mean, I agree it would be better if player levels were the highest possible, but it's the popularity value that has to be taken into account as well when planning such an event. Just like David Beckham playing for LA Galaxy - not best player on the planet for a while, but incredible marketing impact. Before he went there, noone in Europe knew LA Galaxy even exists.

People reaally need to stop acting surprised whenever an underperforming Team Liquid player is invited to anything. I can't even tell if you really are that naive that you don't see the benefits of having them in your tournament whether they'll make it out of the groups or not, or that you just think noone else notices that they aren't performing as well as other potential invites (that nobody cares about).

awws it sad that sheth had to decline because of conflicting schedules, would have been cool to have as much team liquid representation as possible

Very nice, a lot of these players are amazing to watch. Especially good to see TLO!
|
SK.MC and im fully happy.

Strange to see that a Polt and ToD have still accepted invitations for the MLG winter classic qualifiers...
(edit: and nightend).

I don't think it is fair to tournaments to have that attitude.
If Polt and ToD get through the qualifiers for MLG, either way you spin it they are screwing someone over by not going to MLG or not going to Assembly.

Yeah, these 3 players (I missed nightend earlier) need to commit to one or the other.

he said on his stream he won't attend (check the last players list)

polt better win this tournament and get a shot on code S seed
|
Watching Assembly with Liquipedia Brackets of MLG - nice!
|
I want Polt, Hero, select, or Moon to win, but unfortunately I think Stephano will crush my hopes. Well it's Stephano, he deserves as much college money as possible. Do they have financial aid on France?
