Guys I don't think SeleCt qualifies as a foreigner. He won WCG for Dawn of War representing KR, and has only been living in the U.S. for a few years. Also I'm sure NonY would be in Korea right now if he wanted with TL but I don't think he really wants to.

But yeah, I'd say HuK, Sen, Fenix, and Naama.

Anyone who watched the Reddit vs Pros tournament will probably vote Kiwikaki now =)

Awesome, awesome builds.

ROOT.KiWiKaKi : Best possible choice for entertainment value.

He is incredibly interesting to watch even when he loses because of his ability to be creative and yet have a smooth and solid playstyle.
As for the skill level requirement, he has proven countless times that he was one of the top foreign players and he has already tried out for GSL qualifiers where he lost in the final round 2-1 vs JunwiPrime in one of the hardest group.

The guy clearly has the dedication, GOM TV needs him !

Kiwikaki deserves a chance. Painuser does as well, he showed interest in it with his interview with G4. Ummm also the obvious choices of HuK, HayprO, Sen and whatnot. Also, BratOK, Naama, and Demuslim. Awww so sad that there are a limited number of spaces!

Sure he wouldn't win, but it'd be awesome to see him compete.

I don't know if giving slots to HuK, HayprO, or Sen is really justified. All of them already tried out for the GSL and failed Code A--so giving them a slot over equally accomplished Koreans looks both racist and unjustified. Instead, I'd say that it would be better for Gom (And probably for the viewing public as a whole) if players who have not had any chance at the GSL whatsoever went.

As far as players go, qxc is probably my favorite to get a slot--he's one of the best foreigners, is well-accomplished in tournaments, and has had no Korean experience

Huk - Obvious reasons.

Kiwi - He's a creative player with really ballsy early game strats. Usually when you describe someone that way they're a free win late game because they lack mechanics, that's not true for Kiwi. He has pretty solid macro.

EGMachine - Honestly, I just like Machine and I would LOVE for a zerg to get an invite. He's a much better player than his tournament records show (getting team killed in every tourny EVER).

Tyler - Yeah, he doesn't want to come, but he's amazing.

And both Mana and Naama earned a chance for their dreamhack performance.

Oh, and GGZpuX.

Kiwikaki, Mana, mOOnglade, Kas

moonglade has a sponsor ready to send him to Korea and i think thats a very big edge over the othe competitors. He also already has a plan to go there and him getting code A means he wont have to waste a lot of time in the qualifier.

Kiwikaki has the money to go as well and has been there before. Losing only to Junwi who is probably going to be code S very soon.

Mana and Kas is on a hot streak and if they are willing and able to go ( time and money available) then i'd say they are a good bet.

Otherwise Huk or Fenix or Sjow are good picks as well.
