DongRaeGu and FruitDealer won't be at IEM, will be repalced by SeleCT and DarkForce.

From ESL's website.

Korean players DongRaeGu and FruitDealer had to cancel their participation in the World Championship and will be replaced by DarK.FoRcE and SeleCT.
The cancellation of DongRaeGu opened up a spot in Group D and DarK.FoRcE was next in line on place 26 in the Season Ranking after Killer, who is the 25th, already replaces Gatored in Group C.

Following Gatored, the drop out of FruitDealer is the second change to Group C. MarineKing was first in line on place 27 but he was unable to confirm his participation. SeleCT and m00nGLaDe are both on a shared 28th place but the Australian player was unable to come and thus the spot will be taken by SeleCT.

Group C: (T)PuMa, (Z)DIMAGA, (P)MaNa, (Z)Killer, (Z)Zenio, (T)SeleCT

Group D: (Z)IdrA, (T)SuperNoVa, (T)Kas, (P)ReaL, (P)Feast, (Z)DarKFoRcE

Sad, especially for Fruitdealer. On the other hand - go Darkforce!

I can understand DRG wanting some time to rest, but I wonder why FruitDealer cancelled.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Fruitdealer I can understand.. all the competitive fire is gone from him.

But DRG? Why??? There's no GSL to prepare for! There is GSTL though....

I was thinking that drg would be at his end inbetween the semies mlg and then the finals. I thought fruitdealer was retiered long ago.

should still be a great event even if its starting at a werid time. (monday for me)

fruitdealers new name - bartender...

in all seriousness i wish he would still play but after what hes done in sc2 (not much but will forever be an icon) and how long hes been playing, what hes gone through, you gotta respect his decision to take it easy, if play at all.

He didn't try to re-qualify for Code A as far as I remember, so probably not.

well, we have GSTL with MVP vs oGs and Prime vs ST next weekend. So that's no surprise that DRG and MKP both declined their spots for IEM. These are very important matches for their teams, and also if there is no big prizemoney to win at the GSTL, it is a very important tournament for the korean teams. and MKP and DRG are the most important players for their teams, so really no big deal!

Group C looks even scarier now, with SeleCT in the mix. It'll be quite the show.

Fruitdealer would rather be smoking weed and doing hookers. Nothing wrong with that I guess.

I don't understand why SeleCT automatically gets the nod. Isn't he tied on 20 points with a whole host of random people?

That's really sad. I was looking forward to see DRG's and especially FD's performance and how well he plays nowadays. Oh well.. I'm really happy that they got SeleCT as the replacement. <3
