Huh IEM isn't very lucky this time around are they? Nor Ret, get well man.

Props to White-Ra bossing it up though. You want me where tomorrow? Sure. Bet he'll rock too.


White-Ra got the call, ran out of his house in Ukraine at roughly the speed of light, and is now riding a stalker to the venue. He will be there in an hour.

[insert not very funny joke about queens and transfuses in wishing ret well.]

Pity he has had no preparation time, something he could really have put to good use vs a terrifying opponent like MC. Nerchio had better hope his ZvP is up to scratch too.

Really bummed out about Ret not being able to make it. He was always saying how much he was looking forward to the IEM WC. Get well soon and go own in IronSquid!

WTF? I dun't know if I should be happy or really really sad...
Having WhiteRa in that tournament will make it prolly twice as good as it would be without him, but I hoped this tournament could be dominated by Ret...
Without Ret IEM probably got like half as excited as it would have been with him...
Well, hope you'll get transfused well, Ret, so we can cheer for you soon again.
WhiteRa fighting, Ret recovering!

although im a massive whitera fan it does seem hes being drafted into alot of tournaments lately...

Now i know very well he is a fine player but it does seem like theres a hint that big tournaments are trying to make excuses for him to be able to play... even as far as paying some players not to turn up so he can be drafted in..

Im fine with this because even if hes not one the top performing players at the moment, his charisma and history within the game would definatly make for a more enjoyable viewing experience..

Its kinda what the GSL are trying to do.. rather than have the best players its a good idea to have some of the best loved players... after all its an entertainment business..

anyone else agree?
