EPTHowever he should be able to deal with Mini.
So MaNa vs MVP will decide the 2nd place in this group.

I remember him losing to Idra on Mvp Shipyard  | ||

Your feelings of elitism won't save tournaments from making bad decisions. 21 koreans in a 32 man tournament may be cool for you, but you're not the 20.000 people who won't tune in if the top8 is all korean. I have no problem watching top koreans play, but i won't close my eyes to the fact that a remarkable amount of people find that really lame, so if you're not willing to put in your money to replace missing ad revenue, then maybe you + Show Spoiler + better shut up? | ||

The semifinals and finals will be held offline on 26 January 2013 in Paris, at Le Palais des Congrès, that can accommodate 3700 spectators. They didn't update it from the other one on their main page, but it really isn't that hard to find elswhere. | ||

It's not feelings of elitism and its not a bad decision on their part at all. That's completely subjective. Guess what smartass? The finals sold out with the flick of their fingers. You deserve a whack over the head. | ||

Why don't you take all your education somewhere else and let people actually watch the sold out finals. Interestingly enough IPL5 was voted the most popular tournament of the year recently and guess how many foreigners played an important rule during that one. | ||

Did you watch the live finals of the first Iron Squid? The 4 players were Symbol, Nestea, Alive and MMA Live event, packed, in Paris. But don't worry. Your foreigner fill will most probably be filled by Stephano. | ||

One: I was in the industry. Two: I follow the industry just as well as anyone else. Three: Opinions. Some have more weight than others. Also, I would hope you could think for yourself and not buy into everything you hear. Four: Substance. What part of they sold their tickets pretty darn fast did you not understand? Five: Did you see their figures? Six: We'll come back to this one. I watched HSC and TB's last invitational which was just within the last few weeks. How about this we come back here and compare the figures and numbers after the fact and don't be surprised when the figures are roughly the same okay buster? With that said, Iron Squid does an exceptionally good job for being an Invitational and many people can learn from what they're doing. Hat goes off to the oGs team. | ||

People who run these shows and pledge for better foreigner presence in tournaments are usually bitter public figures who lost their relevancy over time. You should not let these clowns influence your taste for good starcraft. | ||

Some of them don't have time and is really only interested in the best games, because of this, they prefer to watch GSL or events that feature the most skilled players (usually koreans). A lot of people who watch don't really have the mentality to care too much about who plays, but rather the entertainment value of the games. It just so happens that the top korean players are best at delivering that. | ||
