I'm assuming no now that SETT and ASUS ROG know about the MLG dates and have probably clarified with their invitees the finer points.

Because they forfeited their spots to participate in MLG Qualifiers.

wtf Kael seems like youve come a long way from "being really happy I got invited to do Sartharion 3 drakes". Great to see your doing well after your switch to SC2,

Nice writeup, putting that British vocab to some good use. Good luck with casting Assembly "Mr. Kaelaris.

People keep inviting these non extremely popular Korean players and expect anyone else to have a chance?
Polt is personally one of my favorites, but I definitely feel he isn't one of the best known ones, much like Real and JYP were for HSC IV. Both of them crushed their competition, all super high level foreign players.
Point being,
Polt will absolutely dominate this, he made Hero look silly in their show match recently.
We still haven't seen Kas TvKoreanT, so maybe he can do something?

Kas and Bling are such underrated players IMO. I hope they can both keep up good results going into the future.

I will be interested to see how Hero does he has been on a bit of a slide compared to his previous ridiculous results.

And TLO playing Z now will be a weird change, but I am sure he will succeed, if not at SC2 at least in fashon lol :p

What ? Have you ever bothered to check the stream numbers when polt is streaming ? Aside from maybe Stephano, Idra or maybe*cringe* destiny no foreigner and most koreans ever even pull close to the same numbers if they stream simultaneously Polt is very very well known, In most bet polls hes very highly rated , being the Super tournament champion and one of the best TvP around ("I only make marauders"). The only thing that brought his stock down recently was Forgg manhandling him in Code A last season. Point being hes a very popular korean Terran. At the very least everyone hears Polt and thinks 4-0 MMA.

Also there is no gaurantee, Polt's foreign tournament record is mediocre at best. I dont doubt he will do well but dominate, I dont know. I personally dont care. Also Hero hasnt been doing well really anywhere recently so him crushing Hero isnt much to go by. Even foreigners took him out comfortably at IEM. As for Kas TvT theres plenty available on that. More than good enough to compete atleast. (Its old but he did Crush Nada in the TSL, at the very least it hasnt gotten worse.)

Bling is the most exciting prospect for me personally. Ive seen the least of him out of the current lineup but what I have seen has been really impressive (Cept HSC 4) and hes probably my darkhorse for this one.

He beat MarineKing 2-0 at WCG iirc.

Seems like it will be a great tournament.

From what I've seen I think the finals will be a combination of Polt/Kas/Hero/Stephano.
