At least switch the two around =( In that case, what have any of the Korean invites done compared to July to deserve the direct seeding? Hopefully MC just deleted the tweet because he's waiting for MLG to announce it officially :/ | ||

You cant deny that MC is in a bit of a slump with his recent results regardless of if hes won previous foreign lans, this isnt the same foreign lan, not to mention there are other koreans coming as well as better competition now (the scene has been growing fast in the foreign scene imo) Just ignore him. He's bored and just wants to start something. | ||

Bomber just got smoked by NesTea and has no experience in foreign LANs, and you say Bomber will do better than MC at MLG? What are you basing this on? | ||

My theory, judging from the players that were picked in the first place, is that they wanted young blood in Korea's first major foray into North America in SC2. This way if they win everyone praises Korea's talent and is fearful of the bigger titans (Nestea MVP MC MKP). And if they fail people can say "no worries none of those guys have even played a Code S game yet LOL Korea still best!!" Iunno or I could be completely crazy and they were just randomly picked. | ||

Possibly why is because he needs the official MLG announcement first or something like that? | ||

I'm guessing MLG wanted to be the first to officially announce this news. Would definitely have brought them more favor with the fans if they did. | ||

What has Losira done in comparison? MMA? Lol Moon? The only Korean currently "not slumping" is Nestea who had an easy run in the last GSL and just beat a lackluster Bomber in Ro32 after almost losing to Cezanne in the Ro64. So how does your original statement of "I would be more worried about most of the other koreans" work? MMA is still in Code A after losing to a protoss 2-0 worse than MC, Losira didn't get far into the Super Tournament either, and Bomber just got beaten 2-0 by Nestea. | ||

Some warmup for their real games :p Columbus is going to be a european invasion man, these won't be the dallas open brackets.. I guess we'll have to see exactly who faces who when the brackets are released but don't rule out July running into someone like Thorzain or DeMu | ||
