Not really surprised Bomber got an invite since he was supposed to be at Columbus but didn't make it due to, if I recall correctly, visa related stuff.

Hope they invite more a Zerg and Protoss to round up the group. I'm hoping they send Nestea and Puzzle, but I don't really think that will happen though.

I don't think MMA will go this time. If my calculations are not wrong, he's quite likely to get a Providence invite already and may want to stay back to practice. I'm more hoping to see other SlayerS players get flown in instead for more exposure, maybe someone like Ryung, and maybe a repeat from Boxer

I play terran but I really hope the last two are protoss or zerg (or 1 each). Korean Terrans are so good that they are garaunteed to be at the top, wouldn't be suprised to see Bomber and MVP in the finals. Need to get Nestea and...hmm, what other Protoss besides MC would be good? Killer? Puzzle? Sage? I dunno.

But really awesome we will finally get to see Bomber, Korean Terrans are SOO good!

Aw I was hoping it would be nada. Oh well I think he can probably afford to take himself if he really wants to go. I'd like to see MKP but his chances are pretty slim being a terran.

Hmm I don't know theres so many likeable korean terrans, I have trouble thinking of a zerg/protoss that hasn't already been. I'd probably want to see TSL.killer, I think he'd be a great stage personality for MLG. I'd like to see the the zenex players too, I think puzzle and coca are pretty awesome. and of course theres the obvious one everyone wants to see, nestea, but he will probably be too busy owning up gsl to go.

I'm a little tired of Terrancraft, to be honest. Wish they'd invite more Toss and Zerg.

I don't think MVP is too happy about the other invitee. Bomber is probably one of the very very few players than can actually beat MVP.

MC really is a must. Screw the exchange program, MLG needs to ship him over even if he has to go through the open bracket. The man is such a character(or showman), makes everything so much more fun. Wish Losira would come back(or nestea, but I think he might be to busy practicing and winning), need still awesome players but less TvTs. Shame the Korean terrans are so good :/

I'm calling it now. Nestea is coming over for providence. The Swarm will roar.

it wouldnt make sense for him to come if he makes it deep into GSL.
for someone in his position, if he makes it far hes got a damn good shot of taking it and the prize is like 8x times+ more than MLG.

should have put spoiler tags in the op, now everyone knows who's top 2 long before the event happens

serously, these guys are so good. won't be surprised if maximalist foreigner players like naniwa don't even show up after seeing who's invited from korea

Can MMA come back as a non exchange guy, he has enough points for pool play I'm sure.

I'm pretty sure that, considering the way SlayerS played at MLG, we probably won't be having any short supply of MMA or BoxeR on US soil. Besides, I'm pretty sure Jessica paid for Ganzi to go, don't see why she wouldn't make sure at least MMA would go, considering his great MLG successes.

One of the more fun bets I have is:

"when will they start banning korean pros from MLG tourneys".

I mean really, how many times do koreans have to score spots 1-5 before the white people rage out lol.
