Things will be announced once the final TW qualifier is finished tomorrow.

Read as: If Sen doesn't win the qualifier, we're inviting him. If he does win the qualifier, we have a backup invite.

There's always four. This is how IEM has worked for several seasons. 2 qualifiers from NA, 2 from EU, 2 from Asia, 1 from the host region (in this case, Asia), 1 from the host nation (in this case, Taiwan), 4 invited wildcards, 4 from the Open Bracket. If the fourth invitee isn't listed, they're either not yet announced by the ESL, or they may be foreign (there was one foreign wildcard in San Jose).

so is now a good time to start rumors about it being naniwa? :D

Sure, even though they wouldn't touch Naniwa with a 10 foot poll

they don't have to touch him as long as he has soundproofing

it's naniwa, he'll find out how the other guy is cheating no matter what.

I dunno, I could see why a pro player would be somewhat paranoid over whether someone was cheating or not. There is nothing more annoying than losing to some shithead cheater. Though, admittedly, it'd probably be quite satisfying being a shithead cheater too. Still, so long as it isn't too crazy (and I wouldn't say his IEM incident or his most recent Happy Russian stream incident were) then I'm fine with his accusations/paranoia.


He's not paranoid. The IEM incident was just Polt wrecking him so he made up a dumb excuse to forfeit because a-moving his probes in the two remaining games would have taken too long.

Don't say stuff you don't actually know. It doesn't contribute to anything, except waste a bit of your and my time.


So you "know" this? You're omniscient and were listening to NaNiwa's thoughts at the time? Please, give me a break. He had stopped practicing because he didn't care about the game anymore, and when he realized how badly he'd get killed he took the shortest route out of the building without admitting it. If you don't agree then don't, but don't pretend you "know" anything about it.
Take your own advice. You aren't omniscient and can't read Naniwa's thoughts. "He's not paranoid. The IEM incident was just Polt wrecking him so he made up a dumb excuse to forfeit because a-moving his probes in the two remaining games would have taken too long." Do you have proof that it's a dumb excuse? No? Then you should stop writing like you are intimate with Naniwa's thoughts. All we know is what Naniwa has told us. Whether or not his words are true is up in the air.

On a more relevant-to-the-topic note, the Taiwanese qualifiers have concluded, and unsurprisingly, Sen did come out on top and is in the IEM Group Stage. So presumably, we'll get news on the final invited player by the weekend! :D

I wouldn't be surprised if we knew who the final invite was today. They most likely had a backup already planned in case Sen did qualify.
