Hmm
2 From each region seem fair.
But from viewer point It would be much better off If Korean get like 4 slots more from unimpressive regions like LA, RU, TW, SEA. Not to be racist, I am from SEA original myself.

The skill gap is so far away even from GSL compared to active regions like EU/NA.
Next year blizzcon should invite follow ranking point from this year event, like Football Champions League, Big Nation have higher point based on their past results thus having more slots.

Edit@ Forgot to mention Genius, why cant he defend his title. He deserve it.

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).


Blame it on the fact that no other tournament is run as frequently with a system of points given to each player. Statistically speaking, based on the GSL point totals Nestea and MVP SHOULD have won the qualifiers anyway (barring no rediculous upsets or them facing eachother prior). If the rest of the world had any uniform tournament point system then there probably wouldn't be any "qualfiers" and all the invitationals would simply be as "unimportant" as the Korean one.



If it was about finding the best player in each region, the EU and NA invitationals were a sore misrepresentation and hardly holds a candle to the GSL in terms of measuring the "best player."

I am not taking anything away from MVP or NesTea. I'm a big fan of each player, and I would be hard pressed to not call them among the top, if not the top players in the world.

But the Blizzard invitationals had this very "any given Sunday" feel to them. For instance, for the NA region, I don't think you could make the same argument that Select/Sheth being the best players in NA that you could for Nestea/MVP. In fact, I think the skill gap between a player like Huk is just as large from Select/Sheth than it is for NesTea and any other player.

What the invitational brought is a volatility for determining the best player in the region, and not simply going off the performance history of the player. Now MVP/NesTea are extremely good players, but do I think that someone like Polt, MKP or MC could possibly steal a Bo3 series from them, hell ya I do. I just feel they should have kept the same standard the Korean players, much like all of the other regions.


Everything you're saying is true, but that's exactly my point. The fact that the NA/Eu(well this one may actually have the 2 best players in europe)/LA/ect invites are not necessarily the best in their region is the fault of a lack of point system (such as the GSL points system), Yes the various invitationals were a sore misrepresentation of the "best player" (although again Eu can prolly be debated), its only because there was no unified point system that the "best players" from the other regions weren't invited.

Its not Blizzard's fault no where other than Korea has a point system (besides MLG which is skewed based on a variety of factors)

You don't leave out the defending champion....

How is that relevant? GSLWC had the best koreans and thats what matters. He has 2 GSL titles, regardless of how hard each one was. MVP also has the second best GSL run after Nestea. Nestea won without dropping any map, MVP won dropping only a single map (To Nestea). MVP did have a significantly harder run that season than Nestea, in terms of opponents.

Think what he's getting at is MVP's 2nd championship was the world championship which isn't the same as a regular season of the gsl.

I kind of agree. I see him as more like 1 1/2 time gsl champ. GSLWC began at a ro16, with no group stage, and half code-S Koreans (not all of which were the best). But whatever, we all know MVP is gsl champion material.
