Polt is down for assembly and MLG. So hows that work out? If he can do both why cant these other guys?


He won't. He'll either be at Assembly and get through qualifiers, be at Assembly and fail to make it through qualifiers, or make it through qualifiers and be at MLG Winter Arena.

I'm going to do everyone a favour and go through the entire NA list and explain where people are having issues:

Slush- Fine. He's managed to take at least a few wins in recent MLGs
Kiwikai- Fine. He beat Stephano and performed well at the beginning of last year as well.
Rain- Obviously fine.
Sheth- Fine. Solid player with consistent results.
Incontrol- No. This guy does not deserve to be invited. I love Incontrol on SotG, but he only did well in like 1 MLG and it was the one at which the level of competition was very low. I know well over 15 unknown players that are 3-0+ against Incontrol on ladder. I don't know why MLG keeps riding on his results from a year ago. Again, no personal hatred against him; he's great for the community but doesn't deserve this invite.
Machine- Maybe. Hasn't won anything against anyone notable in a long time, but did manage to get a win or two at recent MLGs. On the edge of qualification.
Drewbie- Fine. He won an open bracket fairly recently.
Tyler- I'm probably going to take a lot of flak for saying that if Tyler wasn't "known" there's absolutely no way he'd get this spot. He got eliminated from the open bracket at the last MLG after a string of bottom finishes in his group. Again, Sc2 icon and a cool guy, but I don't think he's competitive right now.
KR- Fine.
Vibe- Meh.
Demuslim- Fine.
Sase- Fine.
Trimaster- Fine; beat Idra at MLG awhile ago.
QXC- Fine.
Artist- Fine.
Mihai- No. Essentially no accomplishments since MLG Dallas.
DDoro- Fine.
Illusion- Fine.
Agh- No idea why he's being invited.
ThisisJimmy- No. Again, making it to the third round in the open bracket and being somewhat popular on youtube does not a top-tier player make.
WBC- Fine.
DDE- Yeah, okay.
OptikZero- Dunno; basically know nothing about him.
State- Probably on the edge.
Inori- Fine.
LzGamer- No. Guy hasn't done anything recently and got knocked out of the open bracket. Has literally not won anything in the longest time.
KingSpades- Rofl,I think this guy is overrated but I guess inviting underdogs is okay.
Hawk- Lol, no.
Gowswer- Yeah.
Axslav- Meh. No results.
Ostojiy- Okay.
Attero- Don't get this one. I guess he's a popular streamer?
Morrow- Okay.
Naama- Fine.
Stalife- God no.
Catz- Fine.
TT1- Fine.
Killer- Fine.
Minigun- I guess?

I hope I've managed to hit most of the players that people have trouble seeing as having anything but a massive longshot at even getting top 10 in this tournament.



Why are DDE and MorroW "okay" and not fine? I'm glad you are not doing MLG invites.



i got yeah, okay i guess its something between okay and fine :DDD
yes

MLG doesn't really need to bring in the big name euro's. It's the north americans and Koreans that are going to bring spectators to their events. ESL has the monopoly in Europe anyways so they're probably not as worried about breaking into that market, MLG is more about expanding their brand than expanding e-sports in general.

yeah but a qualifier with north americans and koreans will just end up with only koreans which will turn off the spectators sadly

no, regardless idra and huk will be there near the end, which definitely won't 'turn off the specators'

For me personally...beeing a big fanboy of EU zergs its a bit sad that they wont attend the tourney....
all though Im pretty sure that wont affect the ratings a single bit.....seems to me that US tourneys that include Idra and/or Huk + koreans is enough to draw a big crowd.....
But it looks really grim for the foreign players.....seems almost every Code S player is gonna pay a visit.....and the top 10 (maybe even 15) will probably be korean IMO....
Im just a zerg

Someone tell Naniwa, we don't need a repeat of last year's "I don't know what map I'm playing on so I will pause the game, take a piss and watch the replay of the unfinished game to reveal my opponents strategy".

Doesn't MLG use "ghost maps"?

Anyway. . .for those complaining about certain invites, I suggest you don't forget that, if MLG were truly to only invite the best players, you'd see at least 95% Koreans. MLG obviously has to appeal to various fanbases and that's fine.
Did you ever say Yes to a single joy?

Not sure, but that's what the mlg folks said on TL during the drama.
