This could be the prime of his sc2 career , and they don't fkin invite him ........ Jesus fking Christ , organisation is shit. Just stop it already. It's not like DeMusliM is the most prominent NA player in terms of results. | ||

Compared equally, and I struggle to see how any south American players were picked Above him. Not to mention the fact that they are basing their invites off of 2012 which was an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT GAME and does not reflect current skill at all. This has got to be incredibly frustrating for Demuslim because I know it is frustrating for his fans. | ||

Oh well, we can't compare Demuslim ladder games over tournaments games, they are not the same. Even tho Hellokitty didn't get any result after all ??? | ||

He is considered in the non American invite list for WCS NA because he played in WCS UK In 2012. Stop using HelloKitty and Maker as your excuse when they are not even applicable to this discussion. As for Chinese players the only international results they have are WCS China and Ocemia which obviously was not enough as that is only two tournaments where the non American invites attend and performed well in more than two events. | ||

I can agree that Supply shouldn't gave been left out nor should people like Fitzy but saying Ryung makes no sense since he is Korean so he would of been in the other category not the category with HelloKitty so it is stupid to compare the two players. That last bit was more to the person you quoted. | ||

HelloKitty became known recently and Maker has been known for quite some time. As for Capoch and State, of course they are well known names too.... DeMusliM is more well known, however he doesn't fit the criteria that the other two players do for those particular seed spots. As for the seed spot that he did qualify for, he was beat out by other better players. This is something pretty much everyone already knows, stop bringing it up in the topic. The main thing here is that Blizzard/MLG's response is a laughing stock. They are going to make the Challenger Qualifier Master/GM only, when they fucked up the Premier Qualifier by having it open to even bronzies. I guess that's a good thing, but really?... How could you be so stupid to not do that in the first place. They don't plan on punishing anyone who broke the official MLG rules of prematurely distributing results. Then they are making a mockery of their own rules and with their broken down system, a broken logic seeps in saying Chinese players should butcher the results they have and replace them with legit results (that can't/won't happen though as it's too late). As for their plans on the hacking, they never did anything about it in the past even though they promised many times that they would. Why should we believe that they'll make improvements now? Going to the Chinese ordeal, they talk about upholding the rules and DQing Comm. Absolute bullshit. They pretty much state in this interview that they decide to manipulate any rules they may or may not have in order to skew the results however they please. On top of that, they are reducing the entire Chinese scene to a lower class by only allowing them to participate in the Challenger division (minus TOP and MacSed who legitimately lost in the final round of the qualifier, and should actually have to qualify for the Challenger division). By not giving good players an opportunity to play in the good league, and telling them to be satisfied with playing in the worse league, you're basically telling them that they are of a lower caliber. Everything about this apology is worthless and rude in nature. It leave us with the same lingering "well I hope they don't fuck up huge next time" that they always leave us. As if it's hard to understand that we as the community get more pissed the more times the fuck us over. =/ | ||

Generally I use Capoch as my example, who also played in a different WCS and yet was placed higher than Demuslim. | ||

Capoch filled in an American invite spot because he's American. As in being from the Americas. DeMusliM is not, and thus cannot fill that spot. The spot that DeMusliM could have filled, he didn't get because the other players were better. | ||

No, but he is one of the best, if not the best, players in living in NA that isn't Korean. He's the best non-Korean in EG and with Scarlett taking a break I think it's safe to say that for this moment, ignoring history, he is the best non-Korean in NA. | ||

Demuslim is not American player and could have only got into it as part of 8 non-American invites. HelloKitty got in as one of 16 better American players. So don't compare him to American players, compare him to 8 invited players that are not from America On April 25 2013 16:54 Pandemona wrote: LOL.
