Major is also a strange invite as well... I mean: they are DEFINITELY the best players, but are they inviting top players, or people with a strong history at MLG? Yea, you're right, it seems like they have a strange policy. They invited sasquatch, who was lucky to beat IdrA after being the half-assed pick when there were no kespa players and all of a sudden hes a god, and yet they didn't invite a well known player such as qxc. Scarlett is quite the opposite of Sasquatch, whereas she is very good and has never played an MLG, yet Sasquatch is not very good, but has competed in MLG. I think it's quite possible that they want her to represent Canada alongside HuK. I think Major's invite is the same, he is representing the southern american scene. | ||

This is great all the popular players that will surely give us entertaining games. Good job MLG, this will be a lot of fun to watch. OFF TOPIC Stop complaining about everything possible. | ||

Scarlett has been stomping most everyone else on that list. | ||

I even prefer a NA based company to promote NA players and try to make them sustainable without traveling around the globe. The ESL is doing something similar (in my mind) and I like it. If we were to take it to the extreme (This are MY reasons, might not be what MLG has in mind at all) maybe one day we can watch NA and European tournaments that in themselves field a diversity in skill, talent, personality that we get through an international scene now. I would love that. And how do we do that ? By growing "our" (MLG->NA/US) scene and motivating them to go pro or at least competitive. MLG <3 | ||

Yes, welcome to the age of socialistic Starcaft! | ||

I like that comment juxtaposed with the hundreds of comments I read about TSL4 and how it had low(er) viewership due to the players that qualified and how there just weren't many that the 'casual' fans could be excited about. It makes sense for MLG to retain some invite-only tournaments. | ||
