I'm not happy in the least to find out that this is what I paid for a HD pass for. This made me laugh. Why not read up on who's gonna be there before buying then? It's not like this is completely new, it's just a list so people are reminded of who'll be playing. "The games will for sure be crap". Yes, certainly. | ||

The 8 Kespa invites couldn't make it, so you decided to invite some sub 50 percent NA 'pros' ????? Groups will be LOL. Also, change your damn map pool already | ||

Maybe do a little research before posting? binski and Caliber were seeded as they are from their results in the Summer Arena American Invite-Only Qualifier. Caliber was a single game away from qualifying for Summer Arena (losing to Sheth 1-2 in the final round) and binski was 1 round away. giX was in the same position as Caliber. And just FYI, they all made it farther than HuK. Can you link me any source for your claims? I read the official announcements. I can't remember reading anything about that. I trust in liquipedia until you give me your sources: Seeds: Top 16 players of 2012 MLG Summer Arena are seeded into Group Play. A further 8 invited players are seeded into Group Play. If it is true what you are saying it is even more confusing. Why would you seed players who actually not even qualified for the arena. This wouldn't even make sense or be fair in any way. You could take the top 24 players from the arena or smth like that. | ||

You could take the top 24 players from the arena or smth like that. I don't think this is hard to figure out. Obviously they were holding the 8 invites for Kespa players. When that fell through last minute, they just took people that were in Arena but not Top 16. That is why Grubby, Illusion, Sheth, etc is there. Since it was last minute, a lot of those players probably couldn't make it so they went to the NA qualifiers for Arena which was Binski, Gix, Caliber. | ||

MLG goofed on scheduling the Summer Championship for the same dates as the last games of Proleague. So to cover it up, they instead invite players who were going to be there, and bump their rankings based on some weird method(you could say arena, but leenock should be there before binski, caliber, or gix as he was technically qualified for arena, but couldn't make it). | ||

The usual call ups aren't there (DRG, MC), No kespa players And the only notable korean sigh up to watch is probably FXOasd, Leenock and MKP compared to a good 5-6 koreans It's too bad MLG is caught up right int he perfect mix of storms with WCG, WCS, OSL or else we'd see alot more players. | ||
