Ya I really think they should have had the previous winner return since he is still playing well in the GSL, and also bringing in MC with all his success seems like it would make the tournament amazing. Oh well.

It would be great to see NesTea invited to a MLG event, which I believe is the week before BlizzCon, but that prob will not happen because NesTea probably be busy with GSL semis or what not.

Will Genious be at least given a chance to defend his title? And I 100% agree with these invites

Is there even a point ?

I hope the brackets/groups/whatever is made so that mvp and NesTea don't meet relativly early in the tournament.

replace the terrible LA players that will not win a single game with MC and Genius IMO.

Or really just replace everyone with Koreans

I just don't see either of either MVP or Nestea losing to players like Major, Killer, Ret, Naniwa, Select and Sheth. These players haven't beaten a Korean in a lan environment in a long time and we are seeing slightly better Koreans than those that usually come to foreign tournaments.

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).


100% agreed.

OP has been updated with new information: the BlizzCon tournament page has been updated to omit StarCraft II from the games list for the Korean Battle.net Invitational, i.e. there will be no Korean Battle.net Invitational tournament for StarCraft II. Now everything makes sense again (-:

@Mods: If you feel the added information is title-change-worthy, feel free to change it once more!

Arguably, the 2 best, most consistent, most popular players got invited. Can't say that happened in NA.

I don't know that this is the fairest way to select players (for other top korean pros), but I can't say I hate these selections either.

Cmon guys, its MVP and Nestea... that shit is like... cream of the crop.

MVP isn't the most consistent...Also MC is more popular than both of them combined.


You do know MVP just won MLG Anaheim less than a month ago right? Losing to bomber and a few BO1 in team league doesn't make you bad. He's been pretty consistent, winning a tournament almost every month. Plus he's in the Ro16 this GSL.
