INnoVation isn't in this because he will be at ASUS ROG. He was replaced by Bomber. |

come on innovation.. what are you searching for?
Well, Acer is a foreign team, and having its players at foreign events might have higher ROI than having them play in a Korean tournament.
Also, the lineup at ASUS is a bit more manageable than the Hot6 (which is pretty stacked), and it is not single elimination, so Innovation has a better chance to make a deeper run.
And finally, Innovation is going to be in Europe anyways for Dreamhack Winter, and for the Acer Teamstory Cup Finals anyways, might want to reduce the travelling (lower costs perhaps for Acer?) and just live in EU for a bit.

Great matches, cant wait to see Maru and Bomber in action.

Roro winning will always be a fluke no matter what What if it's the "who is the biggest fluke" contest that he wins? Doesn't even deserve to win that
Sniper and Seed fight it out for biggest fluke.
Sniper's run was less impressive, but Seed's results after his win are a bit worse. hmm

Both Sniper and Seed were very impressive before and after their wins. People just don't remember that.

You assume incorrectly unless this year is different from the last two years.

This is gonna be so awesome.

Nice tournament although I would favor a lot less top heavy prize pool, like 10k$ for first place maybe.
|
The ominous title "Last Big Match" made me worried GOM were ending it all. Glad it's just to end out the year. Also glad that there'll be something to watch after DH.

Why INnoVation gave up a more pricey Tourney for a lesser one?
1st place of this GSL thing is 20k while the Asus one is only 10k
|
Why people keep asking for reasons to why INnoVation gave up this tourney? Why cant they just scroll up a bit for the probably reasons.

Maybe because he thinks that his chances are a lot higher. Also he is participating in DH, as far as I know. So if he were to participate in this cup, he wouldn't be on top of his game because he had to travel recently (which in turn lowers his chances).
And naybe he enjoys his trips abroad.

Not that I mind seeing Bomber, but why would you invite somebody based on GSL points that is 9th in the ranking and not one of number 1 to number 8? Maybe because he is top WCS points from the WCS/GSL/OSL KR players? Or do you think they should invite JD, Polt and Hero? Please think before you post.
Or maybe number 1 to number 8 are all already in the tournament?

According to Acer management it's for sponsor/business reasons - didn't hear anything about what inno's personal preferences were

Guys, Acer wanted Innovation to go to ASUS...
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=436434
"Q: You will be missing the Hot6ix Cup as you'll be taking part in an overseas tournament.
Innovation: I actually wanted to take part in the Hot6ix Cup, but the team wanted me to take part in the ASUS ROG tournament. If I had known about the schedule earlier, we could have done some coordinating to resolve the issue, but it's too late now. The schedule for Dreamhack and TeamStory Cup will be connected, so I chose to take part in the overseas tournament. "

I'd rather watch Bomber over Innovation anyways.... Innovation is so desperate in his TvZ he is using Thors!!
Seriously though, Bomber has outperformed Innovation over the past several months, would rather see him than Innovation.

GOM has held some PPV style cups and tournaments in the past, distinct and separate from Code S.
