Agreed, I don't see them doing that well once the final tournament starts.
But I wish them the best of luck!

Isn't it a bit premature to already invite 16 players to a tournament that will happen in seven months?
How can you know what their skill level will be like then? You might get lucky, but you could also get a lot of really ugly games.
And the map pool really is a bit large, you might want to consider cutting some maps to make it easier for the players.

Hey - I noticed there was a bunch of SEA qualifiers listed on GosuGamers.net, but I can't find any more info about them. Do we have to wait for the event to be posted here before we can register? If you could please provide a little more info, I'll spread the word amongst the SEA scene.
