I feel there should be more invites than just 8.
This is just my option. I know a lot NA master players near here. But we all know how they will stack against the kr masters
Why do you expect no other pro is gonna go there (sponsored by the team)? Pros go to MLGs for a 15k price pool. This one has 100k. They could also stay in the US for IEM or MLG.

Laughing at people who think ryung is not gonna win this tournament. Whos gonna stop him when hes close to the top of his game. Maybe stephano, hes been impressing me lately. Other than that the only thing stopping this kid would be his nerves.

Maybe the protoss who beat him a couple weeks in ago in teamleague and is 4-0 alltime vs him? Just a theory though.

Looking forward to this =) SO many great players! Think this one is belong to HerO! Toss fighting!

I wonder how many Korean Terrans will be near the top.....I hope the finals isn't a TvT, though, seriously -.-
PREDICTIONS NEVERTHELESS (for top two in each group, with my standard idra bias) + Show Spoiler +
I can't believe people watch LoL.

Gom TV could award a code S sport or code A spot for the winner. Beucase then im sure it will motivate MC and others even more:D

Better just keep it with MLG. Motivates him even more, since then there is lesser chances to get that spot.

I expect SlayerS to take 3 of the top 5.
|
huge respect for strelok and stephano the only 2 foreigners actually qualified.
|
Mmmm... these groups are actually pretty damn balanced. I can't pick one that's tougher than another

What makes people think Stephano is so good? I'm not asking this implying anything about Stephano, but I actually haven't seen him compete with anyone :/ Where has Stephano been posting results?

Because if you're not motivated enough to give everything you got for that amount of money, you don't deserve to win in the first place. :p

Ignorance is bliss.
1. First of all he actually qualified beating alot of good koreans, unlike some others that just get invited because they got alot of fans
2nd. He placed 3rd at Assembly Summer 2011 beating Sen, and many others. 1st place Sennheiser Cup. 1st place Master Series Finals. 3rd place LDLC Summer Trophy all good lans with tough opposition.
At IEM he all-most knocked Puma out of the tournament was a really good serie TvZ. Showed that Stephano can compete with the best of the best
at HSC 3 he beat Huk 2-0 quite easy and Huk went l8t on to win that tournament.
He also got the highest win/lose ratio on the EU ladder atm. Rank 1
There is a reason why his nickname is Wrecking Ball!

Why do people think Ryung will beat MC? 4-0 overall record for MC and he beat him in a recent meeting too. Ryung is just mediocre in vP, and if MC can't beat him even sadder for protoss. MC also 3-0ed select and beat taeja who are better TvP players.
All Korean Terran's are great vs Protoss right now.

Anyway with decent maps MC should win that series.

But that's nothing compared to say Huk who won Dreamhack, Homestory and an MLG.
Or Ret who won Assembly and EU Blizzcon
Or Naniwa 2nd in TSL, 1st MLG.
Thorzain 1st TSL, 2nd Dreamhack.
and so on...
No one thinks Stephano isn't good, it's just his hype extends well beyond his achievements right now.

Who is that MC guy?
Some Code B scrub I hear?
