Sad about DRG but understandible. And Fruitdealer ye it did not suprise me the least, seems he's given up on his sc2 carreer ever sinds he switched for lesser practice.

Grats to SeleCT and DarkForce !

I understand DRG's choice (and the fact that teams are taking GSTL seriously enough to miss major tournaments is actually good news) but it's a HUGE player for IEM to lose, which is annoying.

DarKForce way better than FD, but DRG is sad news

Don't agree. Even though he barely plays FD still came second in New York and stuck around in Code A for quite a while.

Well FD is a LoL "player" now anyways, but really sad since I think DRG was easily one of the favorites to take the hole thing.
This will certainly lower my interest in the event overall and also in the 2 groups affected. I just wish they would have just picked some random koreans instead of the next 2 in the ranking, the way they did it is a lot fairer, but also lowers the overall skill of the entire event.

Now after the GSL finals, even more the pity that DRG can't make it.

Just looking at the prize pool, why is the Sc2 prize pool so low compared to the LoL one? What a joke. No one cares about fucking LoL.

You should consider, that the LoL-Prize-pool has to be higher, because it is shared by 5 guys. So one of the LoL-players wins "just" 10k, whereas the SC2-Winner wins 35k.

The company behind LoL (Riot) heavily supports LoL tournaments, otherwise the prizepool wouldnt be as big. And there are many people who care about LoL.

I wish someone could tell me what FruitDealer is actually up to these days. Does he play in the StarTale LoL team? Does he have any success with it? Then why did he apparently still try to qualify for Code A? (or didn't he? there's conflicting information going around) How much does he practice Starcraft 2 and LoL? etc. All I hear is forum rumors.
