Then I don't get for example why Flash is in Wildcard and Life is in Open Bracket when the latter has more points than the former ? Am I missing something ?


Yeah it's definitely not WCS points, they're not fooling anybody. StarDust, Life, and Hyun all have more points than Flash and all three are in open bracket.


On the other hand they're holding a SC2 event in the NA timezone so you can't blame them too much for trying to boost their viewers numbers with bs invites.

How were the wildcards decided?
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

That's a good point, even LoL semifinals only get half the viewers when they're at NA primetime instead of EU.

Nice. I was going to be at NYCC anyway doing some panels and stuff, but when I saw the initial qualified players list I was a little underwhelmed (they're all great players, but not really any of my personal favorites aside from Polt). Between the wildcard and open bracket players, though, there's a ton of players I'd love to see now. Gonna watch IEM any time I get a chance to escape from my booth.

gogo Flash vs. TLO finals!


Which booth are you going to be at?


I'm an artist for ShiftyLook, which is a little branch of Namco that does comics/animations/new games based on their franchises. I don't know where it will be in relation to where IEM is taking place, but I'm hoping it's not too much of a hike!

Looks to be just fan favorites. I mean it's their tournament so they have a right to choose who they invite I guess. Some make pretty good sense but others are pretty wild.

Who would've thought IEM having so many good players. Usually there's only 2 or 3 Koreans. Looks like Flash is determined to enter Blizzcon.

Not sure why sOs is there. He's basically guaranteed for Blizzcon already.
