sweet this tourney going to be epic now can't wait to see.
When the spirit is not altogether slain, great loss teaches men and women to desire greatly, both for themselves and for others.

I think doing it based off ladder ranks is a HORRIBLE idea. Players like Morrow and Machine don't ladder competitively. It's like seeding college golf players based on put put scores.

I hope I get to see some fun games of Idra stomping on Silver level players!

Since gomtv is happening in Seoul and it has an $85k first prize, I'm 99.9999% sure IdrA will be doing that instead (the dates conflict so he can't do both)


And i'm assuming you will be there to stop him from getting that first price.

I bet MorroW and Machine both received personal invitations.

i think everything should be based on ladder stats, blizzard is going to be running a bunch of tournaments based on ladder. If players are good enough to get to the top there is no excuse not to grind it out. you can be on the top of the ladder in 2 days if you are really good.

I promise you, JP knows whats up, and he has hundreds of people known in the community who can vouch for players that don't ladder a lot. JP isn't dumb lol.

Hey everyone, as MLG Adam said, we were planning on expanding the bracket. To make sure that top tier players are going to get in, I've been working closely with JP on the invites (translation: listening to what he recommends).

As i said earlier, this was the announcement I promised. We'll be releasing the full player list once the attendees are locked in. I'm expecting it to be a solid turnout.

Cool stuff. I'm still wondering about Cluck and Demuslim though, considering that the game's promotion system has been unkind to them and they're still in plat.

Guys JP watches / plays / is involved in a LOT of Sc2 Im pretty sure he knows who the best of the best are, and they will be there if they accept thier invites.

JP I have complete faith in you inviting the best players and helping MLG make this the best US tourney yet.

You are going to have a hard time competing with that gomtv tourney though

As one of the lucky 32 random folk that got in by being quick about the passes... awesome! I'm really pumped to play against the pros, and hopefully I can steal a series or two and make a name for myself (and earn an invite to the next one)!

My interest increases knowing this. Can't wait to see who shows up where during that time to compete for whom.

Quick, someone ask the "Don"
