Il Dongo is currently ranked 22nd: Liquipedia MLG Rankings

There's a fair chance there would be enough dropouts above 22nd for him to qualify for a pool seeding if Complexity want to bring him over. Of course, I'd rather he were focussed on winning the Code A final on the following Monday!

I would hope that 1 or 2 of the remaining invites would go to some Code B ladder monster rather than an established Code S or even A player. We'll see who's left after the Code A prelims. Not long to wait!
Hello! How are you today?

Less Korean Terrans please. These two are fine and great, but no more.
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

With those 2, we need Nestea so we don't end up with another TvT grand finals.

MVP being invited bumps Sheth into the pool play phase, so that's a win-win imo.

Looking forward to see who the other two invites end up being, and hoping SlayerS sends MMA out, since he's got the second seed in MLG right now.

I am fine with Bomber and MVP since the former is an original invite and the latter is the current champion.

We should have
MC for the entertainment/taunts
July cos he is cute and I am not gay
NaDa cos he is a legend
MKP is a sentimental favourite.

I dislike putting a korean in each pool. Its like giving 4 koreans "code S" for MLG for the season. And the whole player exchange is not working at all. It seems GOM wants foreigners to come to GSL. But instead we get koreans coming over to get the code S spot. Ganzi and Rain got through the open bracket and kicked ass. I love that they participate, but the invites seem to random. Its not like they have to get top 4 code S or top 4 code A to get into pool play... its just some random korean players.

And why O why 2 more terran players. Nearly all the broadcasted games from Anaheim was with korean terrans. I have gotten my share of blueflame hellion battles for this year. So many cool matchups we missed just to show EVERY damn korean game (well not all of them, but close). QXC played extremely well (seems like the all kill was justified), but he got knocked out by Demuslim (I used to looove his play, so I would have liked to see how he beat qxc).

But inviting Bomber and MVP is a bad idea unless they invite the same caliber toss and zerg. You need MC and Nestea to get up to MVP's level (when he is playing his best). So it feels kinda stupid if they continue with inviting several top terrans and 1-2 code-B from other races. You guarantee top 4-5 terran... which is super boring imo.

Best would be to invite all promising code B like DongRaeGu. Not GSL champs.

If you look at the scheduling for GSL August/MLG Raleigh it is possible for a GSL player to come and not miss any of their matches, however that might make them really tired/jet lagged for their Ro8 match.

i'm happy mvp has a chance to defend his title
but obviously they're going to ask nestea, almost everyone that watches mlg wants him (it'd be dumb not to even just ask him)
so i'm sure it'll be up to him

Not invited top Koreans in order to give foreigners a chance will completely cheapen the tournament.

The reason there's so many Terrans invited is because a disproportionately large number of top Koreans are Terrans, probably as high as 75%.

Even as a massive Koreans fanboy who prefers watching Koreans to foreigners every time I do agree it's a bit of a shame that there are no LAN's for just foreigners to compete at (online tournaments aren't the same excitement) but MLG is infinitely better since Koreans started coming.

Also the willing foreigners are doing much better out of the exchange than Koreans. Guys like Thorzain, Naniwa, Fenix and Sheth all got Code A spots from it (chances are none of them would have made it through the Code B sharkpool) and from this MLG we'll get a futher four, potentially Sjow, Socke, Moonan, Select and others, all of whom would struggle to qualify for Code A normally.

the other 2 invites will probably be Nestea and then a protoss so probably Tester, Killer, Genius, Alicia or Puzzle depending on how they do in the GSL I think. They won't bring back someone they already invited (DRG, MMA, MC...).

YES! Bomber!

This is an interesting format. First bring MMA. Then bring MVP who can beat MMA. Then bring Bomber who can beat MVP. Then bring... well, the list gets sparse. Nestea!
