The most prominent European Zerg who wasn't invited and failed to qualify is LoWeLy, who got 4th place at WCS Europe 2012.
That's true Lowely definitely deserved an invite.

I guess you didn't see Krass play? His multitasking is ridiculous. He was putting up constant aggression with both (double) drops and frontal attacks simultanously, while keeping up great unit retention. Also, he showed both bio and mech play in the later rounds of the qualifiers. I can't wait to see his games in the premier league, since aggressive playstyle like his is extremelly appealing to me. His constant pressuring kind of reminds me of Naama, but relying on perfect control rather than on gimmicky suprising attacks and all-ins. I also imagine, there is a reason why Bunny and Siw edged out the competition.

Shuttle so baller, Gratz!
|
huge fan of shuttle. His involvement with the NA / EU scene over the past few years has made me forget he was korean.
|
Love the triumphs of the lesser known players grabbing their spots, and I love the spread of countries that got a spot. A great qualifier that hopefully will give the European esports a shot in the arm of new fans!
|
Krass is well known in the EU scene, as well as Siw. Bunny is quite the mystery but eh, if he did this over some players like goody or beastqt, he clearly deserves his spot
|
|
haha, finale, tails, daisy got knocked out. I guess EU qualifier was not easy as they thought.
|
I thought europe had a lot of good zergs. I guess I was wrong lolz
|
I would be more happy if koreans who jumped ship, e.g. MVP, MMA got knocked out without getting anything.

Why listen to Idra? He is only an average NA GM, who knows not much. Zergs like Life, Stephano and Scarlett eat Terrans like 'kimchi'. Well to do that, you actually have to practice and focus. Not blame your opponents and your own race in every game.

Xigua, sure, but targa/JR/Xlord haven't really done very much at all recently
Plus it's hots... new names are good, because it's new talent for a new game

why so much xenophobia ?
I hope these guys motivate the rest and give us a nailbiting fierce competition.

Can someone link me to the invite list?

For a second I thought this was STX Shuttle and wtf'd
|
As other's said, the top 32 is pretty evenly distributed (with most of EUs top zergs already being invited).

Hellbats is a good skill to have.
Saying there are no big names for Zerg in the qualifier seems fair ... if Big EU Terran or protoss actualy made it true, with the exeption of Happy and Feast i don't see these as big names either so no idea why you only look at zergs that have not done much resently, look at the other names aswell and you can say exactly the same thing.
All in all your statement simply makes no sense at all and is utterly flawed.
