On August 12-13, eight of North America’s top StarCraft II players will gather to compete against one another. They’ll be battling not only for their share of a $20,000+ prize pool, but also for an invitation to represent their region in the 2011 StarCraft II Global Battle.net Invitational held at BlizzCon.

The action will be brought to you by Sean “Day[9]” Plott and JP “itmeJP” McDaniel across a two day bloodbath broadcasted live and free of charge. This event will follow the Latin American Battle.net Invitational being held on August 10-11.

Without any further ado, here are the competitors for the 2011 StarCraft II North American Battle.net Invitational:

Jonathan “KiWiKaKi” Garneau (protoss)

KyeongHyun “SeleCT” Ryoo (terran)

Greg “IdrA” Fields (zerg)

Dongyeon “DDE” Lee (terran)

Chris “HuK” Loranger (protoss)

Shawn “Sheth” Simon (zerg)

Payam “TT1” Alasvandi-Toghyan (protoss)

Chris “ostojiy” Ostojic (zerg)

Stay tuned for more information about the broadcast schedule and how you can watch.


http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/3210786

Haven't seen a thread made about this yet, forgive me if there is. But a very interesting list of players including some big names: Kiwikaki, Select, Idra, Huk, Sheth, TT1, up and comer in DDE and a darkhorse on ostojiy.

Ostojiy is really good despite being unknown though.

Still put IdrA or Huk as the favourites though

I'm surprised that Huk was invited since I assumed that he doesn't ladder on NA. But such a great lineup!
How does it feel knowing you wasted another 3 seconds of your life reading this again?

I think Idra has to be considered the favourite, regardless of whether you think HuK or Idra is better, most simply because this will be played on NA server and I presume HuK may have a bit of lag.

HuK would be my second pick... I would be surprised if anyone else won.

Grats to Ostojiy on getting picked. Now we just need to see NamhciR get some <3.

I'm getting so tired of seeing people get opportunities for their ability to self promote their name, rather than actually winning stuff.

EDIT: That obviously doesn't apply to the other 7 players picked, but in a lot of other invitationals/tournaments it does.

Don't think Blizzard has released that yet.

Oh wow! We were all waiting on this kind of a tournament, and I'm glad it's all pro players, and not some ladder grinders (unless they just happened to be the top 8... but the point still stands).

DDE and Ostojic are odd choices. Otherwise let's see how it goes.

especially TvZ

Odd as in I haven't seen them around the big tournament podiums that much, as opposed to the others. Still think they have to be great players to reach this far.

Funny how its 5 Canadians, 2 Americans and 1 Korean. USA seriously lacks good players for their population size.
