Oh fuck Major was replaced, I got confused, well Huk is pretty good these days again I heard? But then we still have 3  .
Oh and Kane is very good, the lineup ist still very strong for foreigners!

This is the tournament where Flash and JD restore the faith of the wayward ones by going with dual perfect records to the final where they clash in an epic Bo7 featuring bio-mech, mech, pure bio, skyterran, swarmhost/muta, roach/hydra/viper, nydus allins, ling/infestor, and ONLY BANELINGS styles.
