Cool to see Petraeus involved! And Ret too!!

Strange that they invite JD, but i guess he could use this as his potential "comeback".
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

I wouldn't say it's surprising at all. JD's still a very popular player and in the end it's all about getting the most people to watch.

Plus, it's not like he got terrible and stopped qualifying for tournaments, he just took a couple month break.

As much as I hate saying it, but I actually would have liked a Naniwa invite to complete the foreign trifecta.

Embrace it. You are coming around to becoming a Naniwa fan. Resistance is futile.

No. Let him go through the qualifier to prove he's up to it. His WCS performance hasn't exactly convinced me that he would do anything but bomb out in last place among this line up.

Maybe they did invite Life, but he couldn't attend. Maybe they just wanted someone from the NA scene, which JD now is. Maybe they believe JD still brings in more viewers than Life (which among the non core SC2 fans, I have little doubt of) none of the invites are on Kespa teams. That has likely something to do with it too. Lots of potential reasons.
