 Blizzard, why did you not invite one of the best Zerg players in the world/the most popular NA player? | ||

That's just another way of saying what KingRajesh said. That's not an explanation. I don't think anyone really knows. It's clear that Blizzard values entertainment over competition for their brand of esports but IdrA is a fan-favorite and always entertaining, win or lose. So I guess it was just (another) mistake. But this thread is for predictions of matches, not for general discussion of the blizzcon sc2 tournament! | ||

Or have you never observed the masses' reactions to IdrA playing? There is a cause and effect that has been observed many many times. Cause is IdrA playing SC:BW or SC2 publicly. Effect is tons of people are entertained. We don't have to look at the cause and try to hypothesize what the effect is with analysis as if we have no idea how people respond to IdrA playing. Most people love it. | ||

If Blizzard just invited IdrA over someone else, it wouldn't be fair to the person who earned their spot via mass laddering. Edit: Never mind, just realized that TLO isn't at the top of any ladders yet is still playing... not sure what's up. x.x | ||
