Look at TLO, he wasn't the best western player when he went to Korea, but damn did people watch and love his games. But TLO wasn't invited to go to Korea or guaranteed a place in the GSL. His team sent him there at their own expense, and anyone can go like that. He still had to qualify himself, and he proved that he can do that consistently so he was, in fact, one of the best foreign players (and still is). Whoever makes the final decision on who to invite should take it upon himself or themselves to judge skill based on performance. Sure, they may get it wrong, and some people won't be happy about the choice, but it is the only way. Having it decided by a popular vote or a ladder rank (as they already announced) is just dodging responsibility. Besides, if they are inviting people based on popularity and views they generate, they are doing it wrong already. If that's what they want to maximize, they should kick out all the random Code S Koreans and keep only Boxer, Nada, July, MC, FruitDealer, MarineKing and a few more then fill the rest with foreigners from all parts of the world where SC2 is somewhat popular. But that would hardly make it a serious competition.

An ambitious player should be able to travel to major events regardless of where they are. Nobody is going to prove themselves by playing ladder, online cups and local tournaments. MLG are major live events that probably had the highest concentration of quality in the foreigner scene. European players (Liquid guys, Socke, Sjow I think was at Raleigh too) did participate at one or more events and that is how they gain recognition as top players. Besides, not all major events are USA-based. IEM Cologne and Dreamhack were accessible to European players. | ||

IMO Huk/Haypro/Select/Glade should get the slots since they are going to be there anyway | ||

Why not put it like this: Before US players can really get reckognition they should move to germany and play EPS/ESL and compete in the Go4SC2 EU monthly finals? Sometimes it feels like people from their respective region talks a bit out of their ass, not saying you do. Which is why i feel its retarded to ask us^^ | ||
