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 agree. Will be kind of sad to see the LA invites when you compare them to the hundreds of KR players that are better than them.

Dont get so sure about the double Korean finals guys. Nani can beat MVP, and ret can take out Nestea. Currently european ZvZ level is sick high. Also I heard that those chinese players are beasty.

I don't like Genius getting the short end with this decision. A Champion must always be able to defend his crown. That is a low blow for me.

blizzard actually managed to invite the correct people in this one. Thank you for trusting the GSL ranking system blizzard, this is shaping up to be an EPIC tournament.

Kinda strange that Genius didn't get an invite seeing how he is the defending champion, but MVP and NesTea are two great players that will make this event even better.

Blizzard making a mockery of its own tournament by not letting the champion defend his title... What a joke.

While I love that those two are coming, me, as many others, feel that there really should only be coming one person from the unimpressive regions so the distribution would be like:

KR: 4 (with one of those being the defending champion of course...)
NA: 3
EU: 3
LA: 1
RU: 1
TW: 1
SEA: 1

This may sound blunt, but being king of the kindergarten doesn't mean you can compete with the best of the best. I'd love to be proven wrong though and that one of the 'lesser' regions proceeds to win everything with a dazzling display of skill.

It is a bit strange that they devide in Europe and Russia regions. Which countrys belong to Russia regions? I know that Whitra and Dimaga participated for Ru in the last Blizzcon, but Whitera was part of the eu invitational this year, so he would have represented the eu. Maybe there are no Russia slots this year?

I'm confused here, help me out:

The BlizzCon tournament is gonna have the 2 qualified players from NA/LA/EU and Korea (hence the tournament the 27. August) PLUS 2 korean invites? As in 4 koreans in total+2 from each of the other regions qualifiers? Or am i missing something?

This is sick, MVP vs Nestea is happening next week, it's going to happen in Blizzcon too! Will Nestea finally be able to triumph over MVP, or will MVP once again tear apart Nestea? IM FTW!

Awww, It's a shame there's no qualifier. Looks like I was wrong in the previous thread.

Still, yay for Nestea and MVP.

Just hope nestea gets a draw against T players! Hell, I remember a few days ago watching kawaiirice play, he drew nestea on KR and pretty much just controlled the entire game and won in easy fashion.

I always like my terran players to knock out legends/kings of other races
