In my opinion, the title is misleading - they are not the korean invites but rather the GSL invites. It was entirely possible that the top 2 GSL rankings were foreigners.
And yes, as you mentioned, it is different from the KR region ivites. I agree with you in the sense that the top 2 GSL rankings could have been foreigners, but that would still mean they were Korean region invites. I thought omitting the word "region" was fairly unambiguous in context. To emphasise: the Korean region invites to BlizzCon are the top 2 GSL ranked players, as this is how Blizzard stated they would select said invites. But if I'm not mistaken, there is going to be a KR region tournament (similar to the ones in NA/EU/LA/CN) to determine who gets the blizzcon spot? As mentioned in the OP, the tournament exists but has nothing to do with BlizzCon invites. It makes me wonder why they have the tournament in the first place :-S I have a feeling that the KR invitational tournament will grant BlizzCon spots. The Korean invitational tournament is only 10 days away if it goes according to schedule, but in Korea there has been no publicity for it whatsoever, so I'm not sure what's up with that :-S And 2 spots are all Korea gets: it is known that each region gets exactly 2 invites for a total of 16 players in the global invitational. With Blizzard confirming NesTea and Mvp as the invites, there will be no other invites from the Korean region. I had a look at the liquipedia and the 8 regions: NA, EU, LA, CN, KR, RU, SEA, TW are the ones going to be represented. Yeah, a bit weird to have a KR invitational but invite the top 2 GSL as the KR representatives.
That's exactly what I'm thinking: why have the invitational if invites are not at stake? Especially given that they were planning to select the Korean invites based on points all along . . .

First rape tournaments, now rape invites, and on top of that a blizzard invitational that gives no actual spots to blizzcon.
@.@

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.

Well I think we know who are going to win. Reminds me of good ol' BW times with Flashes & Bisus and Jaedongs fighting for titles in international events.

Lmao if Blizzard made Nestea vs MVP in the first round of games.

Well with the best people stuck in GSL all the time, they can't really hold any qualifier tournaments either. So it's just easier to invite the players who are thought as the best at the moment.

Does it matter if it's in the first round or the finals, one of them will win anyway.

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

This seems like a somewhat pointless debate... but I thought the most consistent players were the ones with the most GSL rank points?
Also, MC is popular for his antics and play, but Nestea and MVP have slightly better results, especially recently. If players were invited based mostly on antics, then heck... auto invite Destiny and Incontrol

I hope they destroy everyone, put them in their place

That's not what the guy I responded to said. He said arguably the 2 most popular. That simply isn't true, not arguing that MC should've been invited instead. MVP went out really early last 2 GSLs, I wouldn't call that consistent.

Theres going to be a 3rd Korean at blizzcon. He resides in a little city on the west coast that i happen to adore. The city is.. Seattle, Washington. Many know it as a Grunge town. Soon enough.. they will come to know it as.. SeleCT's TOWN!!! RAWRRR
SeleCT fighting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MVP and Nestea will no doubt take 1/2 at blizzcon. There is just no way any foreigners will even come close to them. I will be cheering on SeleCT and Ret and hopefully they can make atleast the semis/top4

Tell me how MVP has had slightly better results than MC. They both have 2 GSL championships (though one of MVP's is arguably a slightly easier championship since it didn't have the ridiculous group stages that claim so many amazing players early on, nor did it have as many rounds as MC's first championship). MC got eliminated early this season. MVP got eliminated early last season. Both are somewhat inconsistent, sometimes amazing, sometimes falling apart.

HAHA Nestea is going give him the Money already if SotG is right.

Well he has more GSL points for one. I mean they are directly related to your performance.

In terms of BlizzCon invites, absolutely yes. In fact, I highly doubt many in Korea know it even exists (publicity for it = 0)
