Drop IdrA and Nony from that list and you'd have a sick line up.


By what standards is dropping IdrA and leaving Grubby and TLO a sick line up choice?

Exactly what I was thinking.


To be fair grubby is better then idra and nony but yeah is it a odd choice to leave them in.

IdrA has had an awful year so far while Grubby and TLO have been improving all year

E-sports is currently about marketing yourself as a player/tournament more than it is actually getting in new blood and having people actually qualify for things. It's short sighted, but tournaments want immediate views. It is a bit frustrating for the 100's of players that would want to attempt to qualify for these things and then it's like, "oh here they go again, handing out invites not allowing anyone new to even have a chance to break in." Yeah...

ipl and mlg have open brackets. iem events all have qualifiers. most big online tournaments have at least a few qualifier spots.
just because you dont qualify doesnt mean there arent qualifiers.


I'm glad you took the time to respond to my post idra. I wasn't referring to myself, there's lots of other players as good as myself and better that would love the opportunity to break into these things.

It seems you felt the need to reply to me because of some insecurity that I was referring to you as one of the "unworthy" players that is always invited to these things. It may be somewhat of a legitimate fear for you though to not be handed out invites, because you would probably get knocked out in an open qualifer nowadays.

Can't say I'm too happy about the casters choice. Dont enjoy the casting done by Day9 nor DjWheat (not anymore anyway) altough I guess I'll concede that they cater (as in cattle) to more viewers. Prolly would'nt get to watch it anyway, since D3 will be out by then ^_^

Great first post! Suspect you will last long here...

actually i agree with him to some extent, i like when there are open brackets for new up and coming players to participate generally.

the list is based on ability to draw in viewers, not on skillz....hence the lack of Koreans....

I'm excited, but I hope we don't get players invited purely due to popularity or success that is now basically irrelevant, it would be nice to see Illusion get an invite, he's probably got the most Korean kill points of any foreigner in the last month, apart from Naniwa and maybe ThorZaIN.

If this was left to the fans voting, you would easily be included in this tournament.

mlg doesn't have to take note of anything
they're two completely different operations, and surprise surprise, redbull has a lot of money of their own, MLG works off of others

Why is everyone bitching about it being an invite? This is their first big tournament. I know they have done the boot camps in the past, but a tournament is another beast. To start off as an invite only tournament is a good idea. Just like how IPL started as and invite and moved onward. And honestly, there are not THAT many invite only tournaments these days.

I am really excited for this, I think Red Bull is a great company that has the ability to reach a whole new viewer base.

I have a feeling Red Bull is going to be able to put on a great event, being a huge corporation with tons of money and all.

MLG needs to take notes on how to generate more viewers in an effort to expand the scene. Tourneys MLG has been running recently is definitely a step away from the direction. No shit Einstein I have never seen MLG energy drinks either. I was talking about tourneys they run obviously.

This event is not offline, this thread title actually had my hopes up that a company like Red Bull had contacted blizzard about a legitimate LAN mode
