For those that are under 21 that wanted to attend.. I wonder if buying a players pass and getting crushed in the first round would be a good way to be able to see the event. I'd assume they would give you a players pass so that you could then view the rest of the event and not get the boot.

I thought this was meant to be a 256 player open bracket?

He has written and performed several very popular StarCraft 2 parodies, like "Dan" and "When I'm Grandmaster." He performed at NASL and we're happy to have him participating at IPL 3! =D

No Ret, TLO or Tyler is surprising. Tyler lives in the US and TLO and Ret will be coming over for MLG later in the week.
Edit, missed Ret on the Invite list

Seeing 1/4th of the ideal open bracket in attendence is somewhat saddening.

Should be awesome nonetheless.

Wow there is hardly any players attending. Is it because of the overwhelming number of koreans? or just because the location is hella expensive? Either way- tournament itself should be interesting- just wish tastosis was casting it =[

I wonder why none of the sponsored NA teams are sending players to this, xsix, itsgosu, VP, vvv, iS all have many good players who get sent to mlg events but not here???

haha, good one

Huh? Socke is a Top Foreigner since the release of the game, alongside Sheth and Demuslim probably the strongest Foreigner in the whole bracket.

Kiwi, TT1 and minigun are likely the three strongest NA Protoss outside Korea.

Open bracket seems small considering what it could be. Almost no Europeans and Koreans and even lacking major NA players. Axslav and Strifecro for EG, most of complexity, everyone from It's GoSu. It won't be a bad event by any means but it could have been bigger and more competitive probably. Almost all the pro players going will make it into the championship bracket.

Yeah there's a much higher chance making it to championship play here than it is to make it into pool play at mlg. Shocked at the lack of signups considering their prize pool dwarfs mlg's.
