Sick Infi is coming. Hope he's got some abusive Chinese strats up his sleeve. Love watching Chinese execute builds like that

Ah geeze. Can we at least get new huk pics with him wearing his EG shirt? All this does is bring back sad memories.

Excited for the tourney though looks hype!

Last time I saw infi playing SC2, he was with protoss. I don't know when he switched to Terran. He has not officially transited to SC2 yet, still he had been No.1 on the CN server for some time. Anyway, he was knocked out early on the recent Blizzcon Invitation in China.

Can someone explain why Infi was invited? Liquipedia says he bombed out ro32 at the BNET China Invitational and made ro8 at G-League. Is there some other tournament where he actually did well in sc2 or is this a total waste of an invite based on his merits in a completely different game?

To bring in the chinese viewership, much like what TL did with Loner for TSL 3.

Whoa Infi? I never followed the WC3 scene and even I've heard of him. Wish it could have been Xigua instead. I think he's proven himself to be the best player from the young Chinese SC2 scene after he won the Chinese battle.net invitational.

Name value. The non-Chinese community know almost nothing about who the best Chinese players are. Dreamhack is still a business and they want to get lots of viewers. More people will tune in because it's Infi, a well known WC3 player.

Hated watching Infi play in wc3 tournaments (for those who wonder why, he was quite fond of towers) but really hyped for this for some reason. Hope the next 4 invites are cool as well, please make one of them ToD!
