IdrA played on level with Koreans when he was over, and he is miles better now, so it would be a close series like all his matches over there, wtf kind of comment is that.

Personally I think his chance of beating Bomber is higher than beating MC

As quoted from the OP

"Bomber's passport is a regular passport but he and his team mistook it as an electronic passport, and did not register for proper visa."

Fault totally lies with Bomber and ST for not finding out the difference between electronic and regular passport.

After his game with Nestea Bomber's TvZ in the GSL Supertournament was looking extremely strong vs best Zerg in the world. Such as shame we miss out on Idra v Bomber, but now its a ZvZ v July! Not a horrible consolation ^^

There is a fundamental flaw in your statement.
Him being miles ahead is superficial. The quality of the players near him have drastically decreased which make it look like he got better, but in fact his skill should have dropped a bit due to the player pool around him.


Or the US embassy worker screw-up

Just to make it official, Bomber isn't able to come and MC is taking his place.

Official announcement: http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/an-important-change-to-the-mlg-columbus-starcraft-2-roster


Late last night, MLG was informed that Startale Bomber, one of the Korean pro players invited as part of the GSL/MLG League Exchange, would not be able to make his flight because of emigration problems he encountered while at the airport in Seoul. We are very sorry that Bomber will not be joining us in Columbus, and we are working to resolve the issue so that he can attend future Pro Circuit Events.

To fill the spot Bomber's absence has created in the roster and the Pools, MLG reached out to a player who we believed would be a spectacular addition to MLG Columbus, and we are very happy to announce that he, and his team, have accepted the offer. Attending in Bomber's place will be none other than oGsMC.

We share your disappointment that Bomber will not be attending, and we are greatly looking forward to his participation in future Pro Circuit Events. At the same time, we could not have asked for a better participant than MC. We'd like to thank him and all of oGs for agreeing to our offer on such short notice. MC will be taking Bomber's spot in Pool C; all schedules on the site will be updated to reflect this before the start of the Tournament on Friday.


I'm super disappointed that Bomber can't make it. We spent quite a while last night working with GSL and our contacts in Korea trying to find a way to get Bomber his exit visa. As I understand the issue, Bomber has an older passport which requires a paper application (as opposed to an electronic application) for an EXIT visa from the S. Korean government (NOTE: Not the US Gov't). Unfortunately, it takes 7 days to get this processed which is just too late for the event.

We're working to make sure that Bomber can come to a future MLG event and hope to welcome him soon.
