1)because he is...3rd wave (which is stacked w/eu heroes)
2)because he was ridiculously close to qualifying from S1
3)because he will be practicing consistently now (for the december 26.2hr marathon challenge)
4)he is loved by MANY in the community
5)he was arguably in one of the hardest groups in nasl s1 and still managed to produce decent games against his opponents

Actually it was. Had he won one more game he would be in the top 8 which qualify for season 2.

I hope that NASL invites hayprO. He's one of the most consistent foreigner zergs. I love his macro style of play.

He was one win away from getting as far as Thorzain... And Thorzain qualified but declined, same with a lot of the koreans above him. Did you even look at what you posted?

still some invites to go. I would be surprised if neither were invited.

Isn't it though?
I believe initially top 8 of both the open tournament and the qualifiers would qualify for season 2. As you can see in the bracket, inka made it to the round of 16, so he was 1 set or perhaps even 1 literal game away from qualifying.
Of course, later on they changed the rules because they were reducing the player count for season 2 - so only the top 4 were guaranteed spots for season 2 while players 5-8 were put on hold. However, if my memory is correct, after those initial few players declined returning to season 2 (Boxer, Thorzain, Naniwa, etc.) I believe most if not all the players in rank 5-8 were accepted - so inka was literally 1 set and perhaps even 1 game (the bracket doesn't list the score of the of set he played in the round of 16) away from qualifying.

According to FXOBoSs, sC decided not to participate in NASL long before his health issues arose

I was very next in line based on my placement in season one... if one more person dropped out, I would have gotten in.
...and then like 15 more people dropped out. So yeah, obv I get in now.

Yay, Tyler's back in! Hope to see him perform better this season.

Tyler was on the brink last season in a tough group, deserves another shot.
Dimaga! YES. Not sure what he's been up to since the GSL World Tournament, but it's nice to have all the best foreign zergs under one roof. Should be epic.

Ever heard about European tournaments?

Woot! I was hyped that Tyler would get in as soon as I heard people were dropping out!

I don't think the rule changed for the Open tournament, just the qualifier took 4 less people.

If Softball was invited based on his TeSL success, where are these guys?

Have they changed the finals format with the open tournament winner being seeded into playoffs?
Given the schedule issues I would bet every one of the koreans who dropped the regular season will play in the open tournament to try and win it all (and probably will).

They may have been invited and declined

I don't follow the Taiwenese scene that closely but I know that Softball is widely considered the second best player after Sen. From what I heard they are on a level above the other players in the league. Somtimes results from one season don't show it correctly since you get lucky with which opponents you meet etc.
