The rest of the invites are fine even if NightEnd is a enigma. And please make sure that fraer and TiTaN play their games first should they be in the same group. We don't want lame excuses this time.
Didn't Idra win the whole thing last time? Yeah he deserves an invite then.

I have to say by the way that criticising tournaments for their invites is kind of stupid: if you know how to do it better then why don't you run your own tournament? Especially inviting people that are good at attracting fans to either the venue (Naama and elfi) or the stream (IdrA) makes good sense from a business point of view. Never forget that this is actually a business, not a charity. Money has to be made.
I agree. Instead of criticizing their specific invites, can we criticize the fact they are even using invites at all?
There is so much to be gained from having open qualifiers. Aside from getting the players which are actually good you also generate hype. And if they are afraid of not attracting the fans, they can still have half the participants be invited and make sure those names you mentioned are in the tournament.
Any tournament which is 100% invite based is actively holding back new players from breaking into the scene. Would Protosser and fraer have received invitations for this tournament if it weren't for their success in DreamHack?
And if it weren't for DreamHack's open registration how long do you think it would have taken for them to break out?

Previous champion obviously deserves an invite.

Dimaga won Assembly Summer 2011 and Polt won Assembly Winter 2012. Idra won 8 player invite tournament called ASUS ROG Stars invite.

We'll get to see Protosser in action!

Sweet, glad IdrA was invited.

Why NightEnd or Protosser?
What have they won recently or really ever?

It's not the same thing. ASUS ROG has always worked this way with invites, and the eight man tournament was something else. That said of course Idra deserves to be here when he has won an eight man edition before. It's not like this field is super small it has plenty of spots. Even if he hadn't won it though, a tournament like this really wants some big name Americans in their field so it makes perfect sense for them to extend an invite to Idra.

Very promising list of invites so far, should be good.

There are so many tournaments around the world these days, not everyone can attend, or will want to attend, especially Koreans. It's a finnish lan, Protosser is one of the best Finnish players, only reasonable that the likes of Naama, Protosser, Satiini, Elfi get an invite.

Hope to see some up and coming players such as Protosser/JohnnyRecco/Ziktomini~

I'm just saying mate, Otolia's bias is stupid. I'm fine with all invites so far, IdrA and Demuslim are decent calls.

Demuslim, you sexy beast... gl!
