Hmm interesting choice of Anypro, I think another (better) Korean Protoss would should have been chosen. Either way Anypro is really good so I hope he does well. MKP is going to be in it, thats really exciting to see, I want him of all people to do well and prove to everyone he is an amazing player. Dreamhack is going to be exciting all around, can't wait to see the matchs!
Because anypro is in prime and he can go together with MKP. Anypro is doing well in GSL too.

I would laugh so hard is MarineKing came in second. That would just be absolutely brutal.

I like Huk but this anyPro hate is unnecessary, he's easily better than Huk and has proven so..

Hahah I would love it.

There are 10+ players in this lineup who could all take the win. Impossible to predict who will win atm. It all comes down to preparation and the shape of the players when it starts.
If Strelok can continue his sick play he has a good chance imo.

He in team liquid mind you. idk if you're trolling but lol. 4gate, quite an accomplishment, top 3 control? that's a joke. did you watch his pvp in the up downs? horrendous. and being teamliquid doesnt mean we have to be soft spoken and pretend to not notice their players' short comings.
You should also check out his accomplishments after joining team liquid in the liquidedia. He won so many events.

I just love seeing Koreans play offline in Europe and NA! The last spot has to go to Boxer though, since he couldn't show up for Invitational due to being hospitalized!

I'm a little surprised (disappointed?) that Happy got an invite, but I haven't really seen much of him, so I can't really judge. Hopefully he shows some GGs

why don't inviting Chinese players,for example,xiaot,F91,lovecd,lovett etc,they r also top players in the world.

Maybe you should go take a look at his record on the EU ladder. It is one of the best records in the world for any ladder. He has also won many of the smaller weekly cups that EU has.
I would not be surprised if he got top 8 at Dreamhack. In fact I think he will get top 8.

Dreamhack had some fucking amazing production quality last tourny, can't wait for this one!

Because they dont really have exposure in the western world like the Koreans do i think?
Last dreamhack was excellent i will for sure be watching this one.

Happy is easily one of the best players in the world. I mean the guy has the highest win% on the EU Grandmaster ladder at 83%
The only one win a better win% is Thorzain but he has only played 7 games total (7-0). Happy has 418 wins and 81 losses.

Since when does ladder % mean...anything substantial with regard to best players in the world? It means you're good, sure, but by no means does it prove conclusively that you're among the best in the world. You need tournament results - most preferably live - to prove that. Until then...
edit: To clarify, I've heard others state that he hasn't performed in tournaments. If I'm wrong, by all means correct me. I believe it was Nony who stated that ladder % really doesn't mean much. Many better players have lower percentages due to the fact they prefer to treat the ladder as a playground in which they can practice funky or innovative builds/refine them.

True, but there's also the TLPD win% with Happy at 63% in different tournaments. That doesnt mean much either without context (opposition, tournaments etc) but Strelok competes in similar tournaments and has 59%, White-Ra is at 56%, Kas at 65% and DiMAGA at 58%.
Happy has also won and came second in a bunch of european tournaments lately: http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/sc2-international/players/2889_Happy
He might not be the most well-known player outside of the WC3/European community or the 'best' player - but he's definately good enough to warrant an invite imo.

I would love to see some chinese players being invited but I feel like part of the reason why they arent invited is that they simply arent that well-known in the western community. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if its hard to get in contact with these players in a reliable way. Not saying it couldn't be done of course but its a lot of work when you dont already have established ways of contacting them. I'd love to see xiaOt and a couple of other chinese players at Dreamhack Winter though, I feel like there are a few players (I've only seen one chinese tournament..) that could definately compete at a "Code S RO4"-level.

He hasnt relly joined any major tournaments yet, but he has done very well in the smaller ones.
Also many ppl are hyping him cos he was super good in warcraft.

Oh definitely, I definitely think he deserves an invite. I was more referring to the post that predicted top 8 based off ladder %
