Invited Player Profiles

Thorzain

[image loading]

Name: Marcus Eklöf
Game ID: EG.Thorzain
Race: Terran
Age: 21
Nationality: Swedish
Largest Achievement: [image loading] 1st Dreamhack Eizo Open 2012

Thorzain, the most successful non-korean Terran, is currently in amazing shape after his Dreamhack win, securing his 2nd large tournament victory almost a year after his TSL 3 victory in 2011. Using this momentum he finally broke through and won his first MSI cup after falling short five times in a row, finishing 2nd place in each. His intelligent builds and strict understanding of timings with crucial patience will be key for him to continue his streak in this tournament, he really is looking strong and is a clear favourite to win the entire tournament.

Lucifron

[image loading]

Name: Pedro Moreno Duran
Game ID: Karont3.Lucifron
Race: Terran
Age: 20
Nationality: Spanish
Largest Achievement: [image loading]1st The Gathering 2012

No doubt in my mind, Lucifron is one of the most talented players out there, he is just naturally good at games and then you combine that with some hard work and dedication and you come out of no where to win 7500euro and beat huge names at The Gathering. Even though he hardly enters online tournaments and just practices on the ladder, he has been placing and staying incredibly high in GM himself showing great games when he pops on other players streams. May not be pegged as a straight up favourite for this tournament but he easily has the potential to beat any player in the scene.

Polt

[image loading]

Name: Choi Sung Hoon
Game ID: TSL.Polt
Race: Terran
Age: 23
Nationality: Korean
Largest Achievement: [image loading]1st GSL Super tournament 2011

Polt has won more 1day tournaments on the EU server than any where else in the world, he actually doesn't mind playing tournaments here and because Koreans hardly sleep, lets invite him in!! Polt just finished 2nd place at Dreamhack Eizo open losing vs our initial invite Thorzain so I am sure he will be looking for revenge on Saturday. Front line TSL star, really leading by example especially outside of Korea at the tournaments world-wide. Very excited to have our first Korean within the SCAN Invitationals and I am sure he will represent well.

Bischu

[image loading]

Name: Jesper Johansson
Game ID: dignitas.Bischu
Race: Protoss
Age: 22
Nationality: Swedish
Largest Achievement:
[image loading]
Team League All Kill (5-0) vs Millenium

The Team Dignitas representative within this tournament is here! Bischu, an underdog here but definitely deserves a shot with the big names with solid performances recently especially with his team league results and has been doing well in Playhem dailies, 4 out of 5 he has been a finalist winning 2 and finishing 2nd place in the other 2. Bischu is a macro focused Protoss player with great builds and very decisive strategies that are designed around opponents which gives him a great edge when he knows who he will fight against. Lets see how well he will do here!!

White-Ra

[image loading]

Name: Aleksey Krupnyk
Game ID: Tt.WhiteRa
Race: Protoss
Age: 31
Nationality: Ukrainian
Largest Achievement: [image loading] 1st IGN Proleague 2

Age and experience enters the ring in the form of one dangerous guy, WhiteRa. He has never had the opportunity to play within the SCAN invitational due to his crazy travel schedule and its a pleasure to have him represent Protoss here! WhiteRa is a very scary player to go up against because you can't predict what he will do, its very difficult to read whether he grabs a super early 3rd base of does something crazy aggressive, you have to always be on your toes. Expect great games from this idol!

Seiplo

[image loading]

Name: John Seipel
Game ID: Ai.Seiplo
Race: Protoss
Age: 17
Nationality: Swedish
Largest Achievement: [image loading] 3rd Copenhagen Games 2012

Seiplo a player that you may question the reasoning for his invite into this tournament but I believe that he has great potential as a top EU Protoss player, so lets give new blood a chance!! Finishing top 8 Dreamhack Winter after beating HuK in the ro16, also Genius in group stages before finally losing vs Her0 was a great achievement and then he finished 3rd at Copenhagen games taking the victory over Happy for the bronze medal. Even though we have seen good results in the past and that we could do well here, it will not be easy, that is for sure!

Dimaga

[image loading]

Name: Dmytro Filipchuk
Game ID: mTw.Dimaga
Race: Zerg
Age: 25
Nationality: Ukrainian
Largest Achievement: [image loading] 1st Assembly Summer 2011

Since we only have two Zerg players within this tournament, we need two strong Zerg players!!! Dimaga, one of the most consistent Zerg players out there! Almost has legendary status simply because of his victory in GSL World Championship over Nestea in Zerg vs Zerg during Nesteas unbeatable period. Dimaga a very scary Zerg, especially with his stubborn style vs Protoss, we could see some dramatic games Saturday, one thing for certain though, Dimaga isn't here to finish last.

Hyun

[image loading]

Name: Ko Seok Hyun
Game ID: TSLHyun
Race: Zerg
Age: 24
Nationality: Korean
Largest Achievement: - Ro16 Dreamhack Eizo Open 2012

Hyun joins his team-mate and also countryman Polt in the SCAN invitaitonal! These guys play so much within EU tournaments that there was a joke they had won enough Playhem dailies to afford the plane ticket to Sweden for the DH open! After some super impressive displays at Dreamhack and I excited to see his progress once again, he had been struggling with any matchup late game, grasping the difference between BW and SC2 in such short notice but I am sure his errors will have been ironed out by now!! Welcome Hyun as our 8th player!!!

Either that or Huk/Sase. But you could count them as Koreans I guess.

Are we to interpret this as "Stephano has won too much already, he won't be invited!"?

Thorzain and Delphi :D

A pretty sick move would be to invite Stephano and Naniwa (while Nani is on vacation in Sweden I guess). Just sayin'.

I'd say Titan is very probable. Apollo loves Titan.
