Wow. This is really nice. Picking the two best players in the GSL! Looking forward to this.

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.


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


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.

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

Because MC's open season 3 win doesnt count. otherwise he would have more.(which I think is kinda stupid tbh, just cause it shifted to Code S)

MC is popular but you underestimate the popularity of NesTea.

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.

I feel nestea's popularity seems underwhelming because his lack of exposure. MC has been to so many foreign events and Nestea hasn't been to a single one (really hope this changes!)

Nestea only plays in GSL and him appearing in the GSTL is a rarity as well. When he does play though, people love him!

MC is in a massive slump. As a fan I'm glad he's not going until game improves, nestea and mvp are at the top of their game and deserve to represent Korea.

It's partly lack of exposure, partly his personality. NesTea doesn't interact with the community, and from what I hear, doesn't really like to interact with the community much. When he does show up on camera, he's always composed and (generally) respectful, which to some people reads as "boring." Meanwhile, MC has a ton of exposure through foreign events, and he's an attention whore who knows how to get the crowd up on its feet (and I mean this with all possible respect, as I think he's an awesome and hilarious guy).

Too bad they didn't invite more popular (aka more beatable) Koreans like MC/Boxer/Nada/YellOw

If you're looking to invite the best and have them own everyone, then these are good choices.

Lets keep it real here. That's not happening until a patch. MC's slump is greatly overrated if you look at his play. Nothing has looked especially poor our out of place. When MVP or Jinro were in a run of bad form, it was obvious. That is not true for MC.

Kinda disappointed it's only 2 Korean invites though mainly because I'd want a toss addition. Super excited to see NesTea win blizcon. Gah. ;_; kinda sad dimaga didn't get a chance at the euro qualifiers.

This. You can't use GSL points as your objective meter for achievements when the way the points are determined is flawed. MVP is a more accomplished player than MC on paper simply because they chose to not count the open seasons in determining points. If they did choose to count those, I'm pretty sure MC would beat out MVP. Obviously, things didn't work out that way and MC's first GSL win isn't being counted for him, but objectivity should account for clear inconsistencies in how the point system works, and a win in the GSL before Code S is virtually just as good as any other GSL win.

Just a bo1? Hell, MVP got his ass handed to him by zenio last season. Not long after that, MVP was rocking drg at mlg. Can't really gather much from a single match.

Only 2 players from Korea is a disappointment considering how many good players there are there =( Now Nestea and MVP will just bulldoze through the tournament with no opposition.
