It's taken from the current Proleague top 24 Starcraft II rank. next season might be different, but this is the first iteration of the MvP program.

Also, to clarify, KeSPA plays NA/EU/KrT and vice versa. There's no inside a region play until the playoffs. More details on format and such later. We'll also be announcing the NA/EU/KrT players as they finalize. That list is pretty solid too.

For those folks bashing NA players. Come on, show some love.

This might sound silly, but If the NA scene was absolutely dead with zero competitive players, I could understand MLG insisting on having 8NA 8EU 8KR, just because it's equitable and a good way to analyze where each community is at.

But very blatantly forcing more NA players than far more competitive communities for no legitimate competitive reason is, simply put, stupid. How did someone think this would be the right choice? Having 8 participants from every region is already favouring NA. Having more is just tomfoolery!

8NA 8EU 8KR makes more sense, as it is equitable.
6NA 12EU 6KR makes more sense, as it provides more foreigner vs korean games without drastically reducing the competitive quality of the matches.
6NA 6EU 12KR makes more sense, as it would provide the highest quality of play.

12NA 6EU 6KR makes the least amount of sense possible. I don't see how it could be a sponsor thing. Would having
Socke, Dimaga, Whitera, Goody, Bly, Nightend, etc.
instead of
tt1, goswser, hawk, etc.
really have a negative impact on sponsorship exposure to target audiences? I really don't think so. If there's another reason for the NA favouritism I'd really like to hear it.


All that aside, this is going to be fucking awesome.

By that logic 1 round, which is more than they would be interested if none of them were invited in the first place.

This NA hate is getting stupid. Not every EU pro has a better shot at winning the thing than an NA pro. There are plenty of good players in NA. Suppy/Scarlett/Violet all NA at this point. Select has been living in Seattle hasn't he? Idra did well in his last tournament appearance, and may be on the road back to form. Sheth's still great and can take games off koreans.

Yeah, EU has tons of good players too, but just stop blatantly bashing the NA scene, let MLG run the tournament they spent months planning and if it doesn't work out then you have some data to use to show them that it shouldn't be used again in the future.

Violet isn't remotely North American.

Also, calling it hate is silly. No one said every EU pro is better than every NA pro. But it's hard to argue against the top foreigners being EU players, and EU having more top foreigners in general. Making it an even split would make some sense, since it's MLG, but having that many more NA than EU players isn't a good idea. In all honesty, most of them will go out round 1.
