Yah, that "attraction" took third place at Anaheim. I would say he's a competitor too, but you obviously just want to say controversial (and wrong) things to get a rise.

Well, nothing against seeing boxer, but I think MVP should be invited again, considering that he was a past champion and only could not return because of scheduling issues.
when IM made their announcement about picking up Fenix, then mentioned something about an expeditionary squad. maybe IM will be sending MVP to mlg on their own dime?

Can't help but suspect that the Boxer invite is a calculated move that will also get MMA to accept his pool play invite based on ranking. If that happens there's going to be so many freaking terrans. Ugh.

He was a Korean terran seeded into pool play. He did as well as I expected he would. Sorry that I don't think he has a prayer of beating a Code S terran but that doesn't make me "controversial."

seems like the Boxer invite is for the hope of getting Boxer into Code S

MLG obviously will love to have Boxer back though since he's such a huge name

How can you even say something like that when he got 3rd place last MLG he played and almost got in the finals even.
Sure he probably won't win the event because Bomber is there and he's just better.
But I expect Boxer to place top 6 again without a lot of trouble.

Somebody didn't watch the last MLG where he went 5-0 in his group (beating Idra, Sjow, and Sheth) and took 3rd overall...He's both an attraction AND a competitor. And about too many terrans, there are way more Korean terrans than any other race. So 2 terrans, 1 zerg, 1 protoss is reasonable. And if the zergs and protoss that MLG invites decline we might get 3 terrans, can't do anything about it. STOP THE WHINING INTERNETZ!

Korean Terrans are going to do well anyway, so get used to it for the time being. Even if they invite only 1 odds are they will get far enough to get quite a bit of stream time.

I did watch. I also would have told you he would do that in advance. He's better than those players. That doesn't mean he's a top player because he isn't. Nothing I said was incorrect so why bash me? And nobody is whining, this is a forum for discussion.

Invite Coca and Puzzle. SlayerS can bring Taeja, Ganzi, Yugioh, Min, Alicia, and Ryung themselves. :D

Remember last MLG when Bomber beat both DRG and Coca to win the title? It isn't MLGs fault that Terrans keep winning and therefore we constantly get 2 terrans. That's just how the games have played out. They said they invited Nestea, so we will see. Inviting the best Zerg and Protoss players is the fairest thing to do, but if they don't accept the invitation or still don't win the tournament, that's not MLGs fault.

Edit: Plus I don't see how anyone can be disappointed about Boxer playing more in foreign tournaments Also, any word on whether DRG will come back for a third MLG in a row? I really want to see more of the Koreans who get seeded into pool play making regular appearances, that would be awesome

Bomber being back is awesome, so happy he's defending his title.

V. Surprised to see Boxer invited back again so soon but oh well, that will be cool. I wonder if more of SlayerS will make the trip under their own steam if Boxer is in attendance. I had kind of been expecting them too at some point.

Hoping for something like Leenock and Puzzle for the remaining 2 invites.

Leenock, Tassadar, and YongHwa hopefully get consideration.
