I really hope Gom/MLG puts a limit of how far down the ranking they will go to give out the invites. It was already annoying as hell in the previous MLG that code A invites were handed out to lower ranked players like Fenix (no offense) while the spot could of went to more deserving players going through Code B qualifiers. I really hope this won't happen to the Code S spot. They did put a limit on Code S. You have to place in the top 3 to get it. As for Fenix, + Show Spoiler [GSL/GSTL Spoiler] + Although he had trouble in his Code A match, he looked pretty good in his GSTL game. I'm sure with a month of practice over there he's gonna be tons better. | ||

Edit: What? Drg is going too. Wow Sick. Also in retrospect Coca probably has one of the harder groups. Its just his ZvP is really good. | ||

Bomber is a top player and will be exciting to watch. NaDa is a great player but tbh his inclusion doesn't excite me the way including say Boxer did. Tester.... to put it mildly i really, really dislike his play. I guess you could say i am an anti-fan. And finally CoCa, sure he's an underrated Code S zerg, but won't make me join the Raleigh hype train. Short of Nestea, who could possibly top the hype brought by MMA, Boxer, and MVP all at one event? | ||

( sorry Incontrol <3 ) who are these 20 players who have shown better results than incontrol and machine in MLG? ? incontrol's and machine results looks really bad because of the players they have to play with. Look at incontrol's group. I bet that 20 plus deserving foreigners that you just mention will go at best 1-10 in that group just like incontrol will ( unless he does some amazing practice and conjures some special tactics on his own in that eg house and i really hope he does and will be rooting for him to do so). Huk Nani Rain Coca. 3 Code S players + Best foreign protoss. No shame in losing to them. Scary thing is, you can't even call this group of death anymore because every other groups since the last 2 MLGs are equally scary. And please don't mention names that couldn't even go through the open bracket. Wasn't it proven last MLG that even foreigners who crushed through open bracket also ended up getting destroyed in the pool play? ie Tyler and Cruncher. Hell even Select got demolished the last 2 MLG in the pool play and I dare you to call him bad. MLG has been so stacked that getting 0-5 (0-10) is a bad result but really nothing to be ashamed of. Yes, white-ra could have been there but his dq was unfortunate and no one else's fault really which made it impossible for him to gain enough points. Thorzain refused to come the second time. So i am not sure really there are better foreigners who want and will come to MLG Raleigh that's more deserving of the pool play spot. | ||

Also, I see GOM's obvious plan of get DRG into Code S has gotten even more obvious. This is NOT how invites should be given out. Invites should primarily given towards Code A/B players with lots of promise. | ||

Invites should primarily given towards Code A/B players with lots of promise. What? He's going back there with his own money(or more likely, Complexity is sponsoring him to go back). DRG isn't an invite. And who are you to say where the invites should go? It's better for GOM/MLG to send recognizable players so they get more viewers. Bomber, Coca, and Tester were all top 8 Code S last season and Nada is a huge name and has been top 8 plenty of times previously. | ||
