wait- inviting EG players?? last time I checked RedBull was a competitor of Monster Energy Drinks...i mean EG didnt let Incontrol go on SOTG b/c of sponsorhip conflicts (just wondering honestly)

but sweet- gonna get to see some super toss action with JYP and Naniwa! can't wait to count how many 1-1-1's from puma =]

Difference here with the sponsorship conflicts. Soundblaster would have been actually sponsoring him on SOTG. Redbull is just hosting the event, and not sponsoring people that are there.

Could we get a statement on why EG players are allowed to attend?

And EG's Masters Cup is sponsored by Steelseries, so TL shouldn't be invited because they are sponsored by Razer? Wait what? That's stupid. I'm happy that the Red Bull LAN organizers decided to invite two EG players! This is normal stuff IMO.

In other news, EG posted an hilarious tweet about this:

Team EG ‏ @EvilGeniuses
Our @EGPuMa and @EGJYP will be heading to the @MonsterGaming LAN Orlando in 2 weeks! Be sure to support the event's sponsor: @MonsterEnergy

Wait they're claiming the LAN is a monster event...? So they're taking credit for what red bull is doing, I don't see the joke.

You should try a dictionary, that's definitely not sarcasm.

It's a joke. Don't be so serious all the time.

Wow nice to see PartinG finally getting some attention ^_^ I hope that Radbull invite some of the ladder Heroes e.g. EmpireKas it would be nice to get into the mind of some of these mass gamers. Thank you Red Bull for this obviously awesome event!

As a suggestion for challenges how about a lot of late game PvZ matches.

Have 1 protoss player against a variety of zerg players where the players are aiming for the late game and neither try to all in or end it early. Then the zerg always gets broodlord infestor and the protoss tries a variety of tactics that do not rely on a mothership. Spread out void rays with waves of phoenix to pick up infestors, templar in warp prisms, carriers?

I love the idea of funday monday with the pros, how about heavy use of hallucinate or mass ravens?

Also I remember reading an article by Day 9 on the marginal advantage, it would be interesting to explore this concept further, particularly with thorzain as one of the focus players.

For example being able to defend every form of early aggression, all in or timing attack while gradually and consistently extending a lead.

Also as an open question, why do you think many risky or greedy strategies are still showing success?
