well if you dont appriciate starcraft for the gamequality but get your joys from shouting USA USA etc or youre all about the "foreigner vs korean" drivel then I guess youre happy about it.

Arguably all are top2 players of their respective race... These conflicts are sad.

People that only watch the highest quality of a sport are generally not that big of a fan of said sport.

If Taeja doesn't meet Polt and die horribly again a rematch against Solar or Life would be awesome, but im suspecting that maybe Solar win this time he is training 12 hours a day 0_0.

That makes no sense to me at all.
If i am into something i obviously want to have the best qulity possible.
That is like saying "someone who doesn't like eating fast food isn't a fan of eating" (hehe).
If anything i would argue someone who cheers for specific players (and only them) is no fan of said sport.

Was there a basis for the invites or just random? Cause I'd have liked to at least see a Zerg replacing soO...

The replacements are based on players who were 5-8th/etc in the respective events these guys won their seeds through. Ryung, Polt and MaNa competed for the second replacement slot from DH Stockholm. (Bunny replaced Inno because of Bucharest results, and Polt/Patience from Stockholm).

Shutting down the players whose interests you're supposed to represent so hard is just absurd.

Im sure the players had a say in this. Seems poor form to deny your stars

After watching yesterday's Hot6 games, I can't help but feel that soO actually made the decision to bow out. Regardless of whether Shellshock is right and that "top 2 at GSL top 16 everwhere else" is a real thing for soO, to soO's brain a ro16 finish must still feel like a 16th place finish - ie, awful.

I hope he can get his mind right on SKT. Failing that, there's always MVP.

Kespa strikes once again . Only excuse here if players dont want to travel and are tired after long year otherwise this is sad for whole DHwinter. Replacements cool but quality of tournament goes down.

That only applies to sports, not a video game.

I would like to clarify the reason why herO, soO, and Innovation are withdrawing from DH Winter. The fatigue of travel has finally caught up to them and they would like some time to rest and recuperate. This decision in no part was made by KeSPA or the teams, but solely by the players.

Also, I would like to point out that Solar is still attending DH Winter and wish him the best of luck.
