Kind of weird considering he's the reigning 2x champion. Maybe he just wants to focus on leagues for now because he's got his place at IEM World Championship locked down. | ||

You have to apply for the spot and have to pay the travel. And then IEM can chose you. CJ probably didn't want to pay a flight to Germany. | ||

That race distribution. But Proleague shows it's fine, right... If it yields the same games than tonight... (60 minutes camping anyone ?) (Note: I'm talking about spectating PoV, I don't care about balance). | ||

but maybe there were some scheduling conflicts or something like that... Otherwise nice lineup and should be an interesting tournament! I predict a Korean Protoss to win, Dear or San. Oh Dear, maybe it's your time now to win.But yeah... a lot of PvZ incoming | ||

would've been awesome to see him go for a 3-peat.But! Dear Classic San and viOLet <3Also, really glad qxc qualified, he's been playing really well recently and it's good to see him get a chance to show his stuff in a major tournament. Of course the regulars, Polt, HerO, Innovation, and Jaedong will be great to watch. Really looking forward to this tournament! And especially who will qualify for the epic 100,000 Championship in Katowice! | ||

(Note: I'm talking about spectating PoV, I don't care about balance). Europe has never had many good Terrans. (To be fair, NA only has like 2-3 good Terrans max as well - majOr, qxc, and Illusion come to mind.) Look at how historically Zerg/Protoss-heavy EU tournaments are. The only Terran tournament winners are basically Korean Terrans who come in to occasionally crush everyone. | ||

And Jaedong challenges Flash... Ofc Jaedong will have 10 times better results coz he plays in the weak region and gets free invites everywhere. | ||

And simply nobody really applied for the open bracket in Brazil, because paying flights there is really expensive, loads of people/attention was all at ASUS ROG and also visa issues. | ||

If so, why not invite European players for the European tournament? The massive Korean dominance is so stupidly bad for the health of Sc2. More than SHs and gameplay-issues, the (nearly) Korean-only tournaments are what kills off interest in the game outside of the diehard TL crowd. IEM, please adapt. It is likely based on WCS 2013 points. Innovation (2) , JD (3), HerO (5), Dear (6). Polt was 4th but already in qualifiers and I guess Soulkey (1) didn't sign up for the open bracket. | ||

50% of the invites in ASUS ROG were Korean. Four foreigners cancelled after the roster was released. 44% of the Open Bracket invites in IEM8 Cologne are Korean. Three foreigners cancelled after the roster was released. Both tournaments invite based on applications so of course it also depends on who applies for a spot. The cancellations don't necessarily correlate with the number of Koreans, but it's something to keep an eye on in other events this year. | ||

Problem: the teams have to pay flight and hotel for invited players themselve. KeSPA teams usually don't pay that, so theres the reason why KeSPA players didn't apply for an invite. | ||
