Grats to Suppy for qualifying. I hope he does well. This is shaping up to be a pretty good tournament. Can't wait until it starts! Hopefully one of the two Americans can make a run. So many good players going O_o

I think tournaments need to stop with invites, or else you end up with half of EG's team going and almost half the field being Protoss.
At least there's some good up and comers invited, like Welmu and Protosser

Last few invites are great as well, but to echo the previous posters sentiments, I really would have liked to see a few more Terrans to balance the screen time of matchups a bit. Foreign tournaments have been a bit monotone with their matchups lately and I don't see it changing here. Sure, considering the skill of the Terran invites, they might get pretty far into the tournament, but a huge amount of matches will still be PvZ or Z/P mirrors.
It's not as obvious as the GSL TvT times, but it's still noticable, we'll see how it turns out.
RoX.KIS having the most players in attendance, together with EG, that's something I didn't expect.
Really great player list, can't wait for the tournament to start.

Is his team even sending him there? And who's paying for Violet's trip?
Cool lineup, definitely gonna watch. This'll be the next tournament won by EU.

It's because there are far, far, far, FAR more good foreign zergs and protoss, than terrans.

Strelok, Brat_OK, Happy, Goody etc etc could swap some Protosses to Terran to have a bit more even Race count, but well
We have to live with PvZ Z/P mirror fest for now

Without invites race balance might have been even worse than it is now. It is sad that they didn't invite more terrans. Not sure why.
