I don't understand why there's so much hate on Infi just because he focuses on WC3. He's still undeniably one of the best Chinese players in SC2. Maybe you guys should actually wait and see how he performs before complaining. On a side note, Idra is going to tear shit up at DreamHack to make up for his Cologne dodge. Perhaps another Idra vs Huk =D

Funny how Idra keeps getting invited to all the tournaments. It must be 'cause of his fan base, it's not 'cause of his shitty results in every tournament lately, that's for sure. Rofl.

Quality inflamatory post right there.

It totally couldn't be that he did well last Dreamhack, finally falling to MC.

Or it's the fact he is on team EG..also still is better than any na zerg for sure, and on par with other euros.

And he will be invited for long time, his current skill doesnt matter, its his face/popularity, and the possibility of making next MC vs Idra that will bring 50k people. Sad but true.

He is by far the most popular non Korean player in terms of attracting viewers at the moment. Apart from the usual "MUST SEE HIM WIN!" - fans each player has he attracts a lot of "MUST SEE HIM LOSE/RAGE/FAIL!!"-people. I guess the second group is even bigger than the first one. And, most importantly, he somehow manages to constantly satisfy both groups.

Plus, he may have shown some not so successfull play especially the last month and didn't win anything major for some time now but he pretty much always finishes ok among the top foreigners behind all the Koreans. And honestly, there is currently no foreigner who has won a tourney with Koreans participating.

huk won the homestory cup with mc there

and look, idra is not preforming up to his usual standards but he is still the best non korean zerg behind sen, so of course he is going to get invited.

It's not glaringly obvious.
Stephano, Ret, Nerchio are definitely not worse overall than Idra.

And they are most likely quite some Chinese Zerg players who're at least as good as Sen now.

Last Dreamhack he also lost to SaSe and merz. I wouldn't consider 3:3 matches and 7:8 maps "doing well".

IdrA is invited, because he has a huge following of fans (and anti-fans) and not because of his recent results. But i'm fine with it, that's entertainment.

I will be watching live only for Greg's matches. All the other good games I'll find reps or VODs of them.

I don't quite expect infi to do well, get out of group stage is my highest bet. Being knocked out of WCG National Finals in WC3 this year (lost to sky in a very close 3rd place match) means the chance of playing WC3 in WCG Grand Final again is smaller from now, and which means he will focus more on his SC2 practicing lately, But judging by his play recently (most notably the PSTL team league finals against team WE), his metagame is a bit off, and have a lot of trouble dealing with top Protoss especially. Though his early game micro is insane, but mechanically and decision-making-wise, he still have a lot of room to improve to be a top Terran.
