(Z)EG.IdrA and (T)dignitas.SeleCT revealed as the final two invited players for the ASUS ROG Stars Invite Starcraft 2 tournament held 4th of November in Helsinki, Finland.

ASUS ROG Stars Invite is starting next week and it’s time to reveal our last two contestants who will be competing for the 10 000 $ prize money with six other world class players in a two day tournament. Today, we are happy to complete our roster with the long term Zerg champion, representing North America and team Evil Geniuses, Greg “IdrA” Fields, and the foreign Korean, Ryoo “SeleCT” Kyung Hyun from team dignitas.

[image loading]

Love him or hate him, one thing’s for certain: (Z)IdrA doesn’t leave anyone cold. Coming straight from his title at IEM Guangzhou and a deep run in MLG Orlando, the Gracken is right back in the front lines of the most beautiful foreign zerginess after a period that many have considered a slump. The little known fact is, however, that during this time IdrA simply focused on his bodybuilding career, and after taking over that scene with the help of his coach Geoff, he’s back in StarCraft 2 to reclaim the foreigner throne.

[image loading]

The story goes that once an aspiring RTS player, yet without a nickname, was staring at a “Select a nickname” prompt of a game name input screen for some time - and finally ending up with the first word he saw on the screen: (T)SeleCT. Judging by the player attendance lists, you might think tournament organizers have gone through exactly the same procedure: from MLGs to the almighty Blizzcon, this Korean/American hybrid has shown his exceptionally aggressive Terran style to many an audience. Some might think he’s outclassed by his fellow competitors here, but he has surprised many naysayers before.

There you have it. The tournament lineup is now complete and looks as follows:
  • (P)elfi
  • (Z)DIMAGA
  • (Z)IdrA
  • (P)MC
  • (Z)Ret
  • (T)SeleCT
  • (T)SjoW
  • (P)White-Ra

Soon we will be announcing more details about the tournament such as who will be your host and caster-combo for the weekend. Make sure to get ready and prepare yourself for this awesome event and join the audience with ASUS and Nvidia on site or online.


Nice one, elKaDor!

In the previous player announcement about MC and SjoW there was quite a buzz about who the last two remaining players are going to be or who they should be. To our surprise, one clever TeamLiquid.net user guessed it right only 14 comments after the announcement.

IdrA and Select!

We think this calls for a reward. ASUS and NVIDIA would like to thank elKaDor for his interest in the ASUS ROG Stars Invite tournament and his excellent insight. We think excellent insight calls for an excellent reward and want to congratulate elKaDor with a ASUS GeForce GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II TOP graphics card. We will contact elKaDor with a private message tomorrow about the details.

If IdrA can escape the jetlag, I think he might have this. A couple of days with HuK should do him well.

Wow, what a fantastic lineup. I'm guessing timezones will make this impossible to watch, but I'll catch anything that's at a half decent time.

A month ago, I would have been very disappointed that IdrA was on the list, however after his recent resurgence, and his upcoming return to Korea, I could not be more excited.

SeleCT is also a very strong player and I'm glad to see him on the list.
