Guess who are going to BlizzCon . . .

[image loading]
[image loading]

Incredible Miracle's NesTea and Mvp have been announced as the Korean invites to the Global Battle.net Invitational to be held at BlizzCon 2011.

As previously announced, the Korean invites were to be the top 2 players in GSL rankings as of September 10, 2011 (i.e. the cutoff is GSL August); with NesTea and Mvp both advancing to the Round of 16, MC being eliminated and MarineKing being in Code A, even if Optimus were to win GSL August he would be unable to overhaul Mvp in GSL rankings.

This seems to be independent of the Korean Battle.net Invitational tournament scheduled for August 27 (see here: no details as of writing though, only a big "Coming soon" button), which in light of this announcement has no bearing on BlizzCon invites. UPDATE 2011/08/21: The BlizzCon tournaments page has now been updated to omit StarCraft II from the games list for the Korean Battle.net Invitational, i.e. there is no Korean Battle.net Invitational tournament for StarCraft II.

The Korean Battle.Net invitational is probably just for WoW. It's listed as one day after all. Then again since I haven't heard anything about russian server qualifiers, there are two spots where I don't know will come from. Small possibility that Blizz is Korean bias and opens another two spots for Koreans to compete for.

RaiKageRyu gets it right!

tl;dr: NesTea and Mvp are going to BlizzCon 2011. Nobody else from the Korean region is invited (this includes Genius, the defending champion *sniff*). The Korean Battle.net Invitational has nothing do with BlizzCon invites. There is no Korean Battle.net Invitational tournament for StarCraft II. Enjoy, and discuss.

I actually didn't like how they did the Korean invites. They make the best players from each region play each other in a very short, very volatile double elim tourney, where the best player of the region isn't necessarily going to grab the invite.

Yet for the Koreans, which is an INCREDIBLY deep talent pool, they just go ahead and pluck the top two players from the rankings of a very different tourney than the blizzard invitationals.

Its not necessarily about NesTea and MVP being very good players, but put them up against each other in several best of threes against 6 other of the best Korean players, you could end up with a different invite combination than NesTea/MVP (hell, mvp/nestea could very well have eliminated one another).
