"Major just decides to start playing StarCraft 2 after he's tired of Pokemon and just wins everything". Seriously? It's 2016 and people still think that Major will become a top foreigner and- to make matters worse- they treat him like he's already a top foreigner. He's never been a top foreigner; he's never even won anything besides some Copa/ Latin American tournaments, which has absolutely zero of the top players. Potential means nothing unless it's realized and turned into results. This, like many things, is Artosis' fault. | ||

How is the invites decided? It feels a bit random to me. Edit: also it seems that whoever got invited will got WCS points just because they got invited? That's not fair imo | ||

But the liquidpedia page shows that all 16 players will have points. A mistake maybe? http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Gold_Series_International_2016 | ||

One core rule is to obtain WCS rule you need to advance one round. Qualifiers count as one round: Thus qualified players get WCS points even getting kicked out in Ro16, while invited players need to advance. Drogo is the last WCS Circuit Event champion. MLord is the best Terran outside of korea at the moment (at least for me) and this event wount have alot of terrans to begin with. IA and Xiagua can be counted as top or the top chinese Zergs. The event needs a high amount of chinese participation, 1 TW, 1 CN + 4 offline Qualifier CN players are not enough, I can understand the chinese invites. So KingKong has a korean flag in Liquipedia, but he has another passport or? Because else he wouldnt be able to play in the qualifier? | ||

So the invited player can only get wcs points if they advance one round while qualified players can get at least 150 points Good to hear. | ||

He's lived in Australia for the last few years so I guess maybe he has one from there? | ||

I tuned in during the game so didn't see how it started. It was weird two-base push with ghosts, hellbats and scvs. | ||
