They've already done it before, Jinro was invited under the banner of S.Korea as well. (I believe it was in IEM Guangzhou)

How else is he supposed to qualify ? And if they couldn't get any other big-name korean which would bring more value than Naniwa for them, then it's just a good idea.

It's pretty weird not seeing mOOnGLaDe as the SEA representative this time around (He was at WCG when qualies were on) however i have watched a bit of TargA's stream lately and he seems really fucking good so lets see if he continues the trend of SEA underdogs (If people considered GLaDe an underdog in the IEM events he played when the first he was clearly one of the best foreign zergs in the world and the second he was inactive and still made top 8) and soul crushes peeps......GOGOGOGOGOGOOG TARGA I BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WC3 FTW!!! Also MMA to win convincingly

So dumb, people like Targa and feast in 1 tournament with players like mma and zenio


Don't throw the word dumb too cheaply without educating yourself first. Feast beat 11 opponents in 3 qualifiers to get to Kiev. Players like elfittaja, Adelscott, Naama, XlorD, SjoW, ClouD, White Ra, SarenS, HayprO, Strelok, ToD, Grubby, Tarson, Socke and a few others did not manage to squeeze through that third qualifier.

He has more than earned it, don't you think?

Really looking forward to seeing TITAN play. I've heard MrBitter and RotterdaM talk about him a lot, but I've never seen him play in a live tournament setting.

Also GOGO GRUBBY! (nothing wrong with being a bit nationalistic from time to time )

Oh wow, these groups are hot.

Group A

NaNiwa
Killer (I don't know why people don't ever vote for this guy, he consistently does well at every event he gets into)

Group B

Grubby
Kas

Group C

MMA
TargA

Group D

DIMAGA
HerO

--

Feast, Hasu, Titan and Zenio are also all likely to advance. These groups have some good balance, nice.

Can't wait!!

I think that MMA might slap this tournament down if he's been working on his TvP.

A lot of Europe's elite in the lineup looking forward.

I think MMA will take it pretty "easy". Maybe this tournament Grubby will surprise a few people. I think its only a matter of time till he gets his first Gold on a Major Event.

hey carmac, can u tell us something how the korean invites have been decided? were there other korean players in consideration?


We do not sponsor players' trips to events, so the choice is usually limited to the players that have the backing to go to events and have no schedule conflict with the GSL.
